Cultural Embrace

Where I am from By JTacha I am from dirt, earthworms and my Dad's callused hands. I am from Volcán Poás, earthquakes and ash in the attic. I am from climbing Strangler figs, mudslides in Panama and being hosed down before entering the house.  I am from big wheels, seven cousins at Grandma's house where the hot fudge and brownies are endless. I am from waves, surf at Roca Bruja and open swims at Noosa Heads. I am from secret kisses in the rain, lustful dances at La Sabana when I should’ve been in class. I am from gra...

Bonjour! Paris! The city of love and lights! I am here for work but Paris is full of surprises. It’s best to go around Paris with someone, the sights made me lonelier being alone. When you get to love a place it seems like the days are getting shorter and shorter. I’m coming back here someday, soon. Adieu!

Summer 2006.... i travelled around 15 hours via airplane after a short stopover at Amsterdam to reach a place so beautiful and welcoming to each visitor of the country. i really like the country side with all the landscapes and seascapes in all their glory.

Upon my arrival in this country, i was just in total awe as the place was totally different from my country of residence as of the moment.

I got to feed one in the park when we went to Niagara falls as i was really amazed and i found squirrels very cute. I didn't know if it was illegal to feed one, is it? Anot...

I am most captivated by the beauty of nature whenever i go....and i make sure that when i leave i bring with me tons and tons of pictures of flowers and the like in particular. I like to capture their beauty in macro shots though. I am happier if i get to capture the life and beauty in its natural order.

After staying a few days in Canada, me and my parents went to the US of A particulary in Chicago, Illinois as part of our North America holidays. I got to see the rest of my relatives whom i have never ever seen yet. My love of of photography is pretty much helpful here...thus here are some of the pics i took from this lovely city.
