Depression

May 18, 2015 By JoelSax

Date: July 27, 2014 I live with/have bipolar disorder. The worst part of the catastrophic cycle for me is, of course, the long intervals of depression that follow my extreme manias. This photo is an attempt to recreate the feel of a Rembrandt painting while expressing just how those episodes feel.

San Clemente Pier

May 15, 2015 By JoelSax

Date: January 4, 2015 I make a point to visit this fishing pier at least once every other year. We walk to the end, watch the fishermen, stare at the seagulls, and then take a long walk down the beach to the south of here. We’ve never eaten in the restaurant or fished off the […]

Gull Distortion

May 13, 2015 By JoelSax

Date: January 4, 2015 Some nights drag on. And on. I set myself the project of getting to know my photoshop program better; so I found this photo of an unsuspecting gull and wreaked a few steps of alteration.

Cactus Trail 2/6/2015 #2

May 11, 2015 By JoelSax

Date: February 6, 2015 Motion blur had defied me due to the high ASA settings on my camera. I accomplished this by putting a neutral density filter (ND8) over the lens so I could slow the shutter speed.

Loreto Customs

May 8, 2015 By JoelSax

Date: April 11, 2013 I had nothing better to do than to wait. So I sat and watches the informal customs office deal with the passengers who came off the cruise ship. My nerves told me not to take the shot, but I did it anyway and suffered no consequences for it. This was taken […]

Sad Zocalo

May 7, 2015 By JoelSax

Date: January 2015 We were running to get out of a storm when I stopped to take a photo of the flag. This man with a dirty, sweaty shirt passed by. I took the shot. It was not meant as a social comment.

Zocalo, Mexico City

May 6, 2015 By JoelSax

Date: January, 2011 I have mixed feelings about having taken this shot. On one hand, I think it is a fine composition. The unconsciousness of the man is contrasted by the indifference of those passing by. On the other, I can’t help but feel that I turned a living person into an object. Does this […]

National Palace, Mexico City

May 4, 2015 By JoelSax

Date: January 2001 I was a little scared photographing these two guards at the National Palace in Mexico City, so I sneaked up very quietly and took the shot. The National Palace is not only the capitol of Mexico, but also the location of a broad expanse of murals by Diego Rivera, husband of Frida […]

Cabrillo Coast HDR 1/28/2011 #4

May 1, 2015 By JoelSax

Date: January 28, 2011 Now and then you are treated to a truly glorious display of light. The only thing to do is get out your camera and record. This winter’s day gave me one of those opportunities. I pulled out the Nikon D60 and created the framework for an HDR treatment of the scenery.
