Art Inoxidable

Welcome To A Sacred Space

2011-11-03T03:07:00.000-07:00

An own picture of the famous floating torii gate at Itsukushima Shrine located in Hiroshima Prefacture that belongs to Shintoism (神道 or kami-no-michi), the indigenous spirituality of Japanese people.

Odaiba Island

2011-10-07T07:40:00.000-07:00

A night view of Tokyo captured from Odaiba (お台場), the famous shopping man made district in the bay of the city. An absolute must-see.

Asakusa Kannon Temple

2011-09-19T05:24:00.000-07:00

An own HDR of Sensōji (浅草寺), a famous Buddhist temple located in Asakusa, one of the most important districts of Tokyo.

Beach of the Chatedrals

2010-11-01T05:42:00.001-07:00

The Beach of the Chatedrals (in Spanish La playa de Las Catedrales, or As Catedrais oficially in Galician) is the touristic name of the Praia de Augas Santas located near Ribadeao on the Galician coast. It's so famous because of its cliffs that you may walk on only when low tide.
An HDR capture by Raquel Sabarich.

Sonorous Stones

2010-10-12T05:22:00.000-07:00

A family of stones which give out some kind of sea sounds located on the outskirts of A Coruña (Galicia, northwestern Spain). At the back of the picture you can see the famous Tower of Hercules, an ancient Roman lighthouse (almost 1900 years old), the only one still operative in the whole world.

New Band Logo

2010-06-10T04:19:00.001-07:00

I've been working in a new logo of my rock band "La Mano Inocente" (The Innocent Hand). Actually there are many websites where you have some easy tools to create logos. However, I prefer to create them on my own. Maybe looks more like a logo of an electronic band but I like it anyway. You can visit our website on myspace http://www.myspace.com/manoinocente

Mad Cow

2010-05-23T06:56:00.000-07:00

This is not an artistic picture but it must be showed to the world. Finally I discovered what Mad Cows Disease means. I found that cow crashed into a building at Interlaken (Switzerland).
Cows can fly dudes!

The Shining

2010-05-17T08:59:00.001-07:00

An old hotel in Nice (Côte d'Azur, France) inspired me to take this picture of my girlfriend simulating the famous twins scene of Stanley Kubrick's movie "The Shining".

French Thinkers

2010-05-13T12:28:00.000-07:00

Visiting Nice (France), a wonderful city located in Côte d'Azur, I found those interesting human figures that get illuminated on night. Surprisingly there's one of these figures also in my in-laws city (Reus, Spain). Actually I don't know what is the meaning of them and why they are in both places. So, let's do a brain training and think about it. If somebody knows, please tell me. I'm too lazy.

Skateboarding in Barcelona

2010-03-14T15:37:00.000-07:00

One of the multiple ways to travel through Barcelona is by using a skateboard. I used to do it when I was a teenager and when the popularity of skateboarding was on top in early 90's. Now most of people of my generation prefer to use the subway (where you usually go standing too).
An own photography taken on MACBA's square.

Summer of 69

2010-01-31T11:31:00.000-08:00

Long time without new material. Inspiration came finally and here it goes a picture of a summer scene on the catalan coast in Sant Pol de Mar (Maresme). The boats, the beach, the kid running and the retro ambient (although it was taken on summer 2009) make this one of my favourite pictures I've posted here. Enjoy!

Livin' on two wheels

2009-03-08T12:59:00.000-07:00

Barcelona's lifestyle and the way of moving all around the city. That's it. Most of people prefer to rent a bicycle by Bicing service, recently installed in our city. Some people like this girl (that looks like Linda Hamilton's character Sarah Connor, isn't it?) prefer to travel with their own bike.
Hey this is just one of one billion bicycles world wide.
One billion people can't be wrong. Give up your car!
By the way, great capture Raquel ;)

Oldest Living Tree

2009-02-22T14:00:00.000-08:00

This is probably the oldest living tree in the village I was born, near Barcelona. It's located in a little forest that belongs to the Serra of Collserola. When I was a child I remember to play in that place and twenty years later (a few days ago) I went there again and captured this photograph.

Flower Power

2009-02-15T08:35:00.000-08:00

Today: A hippie slogan to show that winter is not as bas as we may think. Winter sun light is the best to capture pictures like this one by Raquel Sabarich.

Sea Calls

2009-01-25T12:04:00.000-08:00

Since I am resting in bed with fever and flu I can't stop thinking in those days with sun, sea, and bikinis. So this is (not a very good) HDR of the village of Sant Pol de Mar and its train station in the catalan coast (Maresme). It's one of the most peaceful places I know to enjoy a good holidays in summer but, I don't know why, most of tourists prefer the nearest village, Calella.

A Day at the Races

2009-01-19T13:33:00.000-08:00

An experience you must live. This is a photograph of the race uniforms used in the Barcelona's Indoor Karting. Drive, sweat and enjoy. Don't you love the smell of fuel?

The Drugs Don't Work

2008-12-30T14:41:00.000-08:00

My last post in 2008 could be an advertisement against drugs (some party tomorrow, huh?) because this picture reflects perfectly a drunk man's vision. How can I know it? ;)

Nature Power

2008-12-21T07:49:00.000-08:00

Sometimes we don't appreciate how powerful nature is. This picture shows a little bit of it.
I have to admit that I don't like to take photographs of the sea in winter (so lonely isn't it?). Photograph taken in Sitges (Barcelona).

House Of Horror

2008-12-14T14:56:00.000-08:00

Just modyfing a few colours we can get a scary picture...well, with a little bit of imagination of course. Picture taken on a Blumberg's old train trip (south Germany).

Passion Fruit

2008-12-04T07:56:00.001-08:00

Anyone would like to have a tangerine right now? I'm sure you do.
Raquel Sabarich's presents this photograph that maybe could be used as a commercial.
It's time to join the healthy diet dudes!

Siesta

2008-11-28T15:28:00.001-08:00

A Spanish tradition viewed from a different point of view. Spain is always described as "toros, paella y olé". For me, Spain means this: Siesta. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

A Night View

2008-11-24T12:37:00.001-08:00

Well this is a Barcelona's view from mountain of Tibidabo in november, when the sun is going down too soon. Sad but nice picture by the way.

Little Black Pearl

2008-11-09T14:28:00.000-08:00

Another cat picture? You may think. I don't think so. This is Ozzy, my little black pearl. It's just 3 months old. Lovely, isn't it?

A Human Scene

2008-10-21T11:47:00.000-07:00

That's it. A pure scene of humanity and sociability taken by Raquel Sabarich in the heart of Barcelona, a wonderful city that exists long before Woody Allen filmed his movie.
Can you believe it? ;)
Everything in this photograph is perfect, nobody's acting and all is peace and quietness. Not a bad life-slogan, huh?

Caravan of Death

2008-10-14T12:55:00.000-07:00

Once, there was life inside that shells...now it's a sad caravan of skeletons.
I don't know why I love this picture of my dear Raquel Sabarich. She doesn't like it but I am posting it anyway :P

Shadows in the Air

2008-10-05T12:39:00.000-07:00

When the sun goes down, some forests seem to be alive.
In our imagination this tree could be a Middle-Earth's Ent.
Photograph by Raquel Sabarich.

Summer Ends

2008-09-21T14:03:00.000-07:00

This photograph represents the growing change in our lives when we are close to October.
The picture was taken by Raquel Sabarich in the coast of Tarragona. Most of you will think is a sad one...but you also may think that just 9 months later we will be again enjoying our wonderful coasts.

Lonely Beach

2008-09-11T06:25:00.001-07:00

This photograph shows why September is probably the saddest month of the year. The photogrph is captured in the catalan coast, in Tarragona.
By the way, another wonderful HDR by Raquel Sabarich.

Old Train

2008-09-09T00:55:00.000-07:00

An own photograph with arrangements by Raquel Sabarich of a "retro train" in Blumberg station in the south of Germany.

Magic Tower

2008-08-23T10:50:00.000-07:00

One of Raquel Sabarich's first HDR creations: A tower in Luxembourg city. Nice job!

Costa Brava

2008-08-04T05:46:00.000-07:00

That's the magic of the catalan coasts...look at this wonderful colours and come here, wherever you are.

Brothers In Arms

2008-07-27T05:22:00.001-07:00

Just think about it...

Where El Quijote Lived

2008-07-06T02:52:00.001-07:00

This is a photograph of the La Mancha (Albacete) dry fields taken in Summer by my camera.

Free as a Bird

2008-06-14T04:31:00.000-07:00

Own picture, probably reflecting freedom in the forest. I'm sure everybody would like to feel this way everyday so far away from big city's illness.

Story of a Murder

2008-06-07T02:32:00.000-07:00

Here we can see the cruelty of soft toys when you are sleeping...

This triptic is done by Raquel Sabarich with light painting technique.

The Mushroom Party

2008-05-31T04:19:00.001-07:00

...and we are not in Amsterdam. A great capture by Raquel Sabarich.

Curious person photographed by Marta Escobar in Munchen, Germany.

Black Hole

2008-05-20T03:46:00.000-07:00

Darkness. The Unknown. Don't worry, that's just an own photograph of a hole in a tree.

Highway To Hell

2008-05-18T09:48:00.001-07:00

Follow the lights and see you on the other side.

Look at the tunnel lights...there's life after death.

Photograph by Raquel Sabarich.

6-string God

2008-05-15T03:13:00.001-07:00

Mark Knopfler came on tour to Barcelona a few weeks ago. The show was great as usual, and his guitar had that special sound...almost divine.

Timeless music that will stay with me for the rest of my life.

Break the Rules

2008-05-06T03:35:00.000-07:00

Photograph taken by Marta Escobar in a München Market. It talks by itself. I love it.

Born To Be Wild

2008-04-24T01:01:00.000-07:00

Some people deserves special mention. This guy seems to be on Easy Rider movie isn't it?
Photograph taken in Amsterdam by Josep Amorós.

Poor old man. You have to appreciate your life. Take it easy.

Just Do It
