    This light painting is the result of bringing my lightsabers with me camping. We were at a family member's cabin and while sitting around the fire, I decided to try taking some long exposure shots. My brother-in-law was willing to hold the lightsaber and try to swing it artfully. This was the first try, and funny enough, was the best image, though several more attempts were made. Most came out too busy or messy looking. The photo has had no retouching or editing of any kind, though I am not oppo

    On July of 2022 I moved to the US from Venezuela. And the winter of that year, was the first winter I?ve ever experienced. So when christmas rolled around, I was giddy with excitement to get shots of the christmas lights around town. But only having a bike, I had to prepare myself with an excessive amount of clothes to not freeze. Even though my fingers got swollen in the process, it was worth the shots I got that night.
