Punta Mujeres
- Punta Mujeres
- A few years ago, while on vacation in Buenos Aires, I decided to get up see the sunrise rather than stay up. I left my wife sleeping in bed and hailed a cab down to the newly gentrified inner harbour area of Puerto Madero. Upon arrival, I was accosted my a number of armed Argentinian soldiers and told that I was immediately in front of the Argentine Naval Headquarters and due to reasons of national security, I would not be able to take any photographs. I assured them that I wouldn't and walked off down the seawall to a place where I would be safely out of view. I happened to catch site of a rower who must have been out since well before dawn. He was positioned perfectly in front of the Punta Mujeres bridge, designed by Spanish superstar architect, Santiago Calatrava. I rushed to set up my tripod and was able to snap three quick photos before he placed his oars in the water and rowed away. This image is my favourite of the three.
Description
An early morning sojourn on the streets of Buenos Aires led me to this scene. The bridge is Punta Mujeres by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava.

Greening The Bridges
There is an area not far from Vancouver that I find to be incredibly intriguing in a visual sense. However, every time that I would pass it, I would be doing just that, passing it. Finally, in December of 2011, I was able to stop and really explore it. Much to my surprise, this just happened to be the day that the hills were being sprayed with a brilliant green grass seed which adds an extra element of surrealism to this already bizarre landscape.

The Salton Sea
Once marketed as an inland beach getaway to the Palm Springs martini set, the Salton Sea now lays claim to being the site of one of the greatest man made disasters in US History. When one visits today, they are left to experience the haunted remains of a paradise past. These photographs are my testament to the beauty of that decay.
