street WC Tue, 05 Oct 2010 11:25:59 GMT (image)I was not really sure to put this picture, but then decided to make it way to claim, as the government of my country says that all basic needs are covered. I went to a place not far away from the city to check and I realized that there are millions of people in many parts of my country that do not even have potable water or sewers, as you can see in this photo taken with telephoto approx. 100 meters away from my car

HEROES AT WORK Tue, 22 Jun 2010 14:56:16 GMT (image)Sad accident in a new construction near my home.
Time For Reflection Wed, 03 Feb 2010 09:45:52 GMT (image)Every year during violent storms in this area boats are ripped from their moorings and washed ashore. It happens with such frequency that this particular stretch of water is called "Fool's Anchorage" . Not only does the owner suffer the loss of his/her boat, but he/she has to repay the city for the removal of the destroyed boat, which can amount to thousands of dollars. Image: This was a beautiful sailboat. It looked like it could easily be pulled back out to sea. However, the hull was cracked so the owner salvaged as many parts as possible and then seven days after being beached it was ripped apart by bulldozers and skiploaders then hauled away to the local landfill. One might wonder why mariners continue to moor their boats in this area. Well, obtaining a boat slip in the Santa Barbara harbor is extremely difficult and a person can wait years and years as their name slowly moves up on a slip waiting list.

It happens with such frequency that this particular stretch of water is called "Fool's Anchorage" . Not only does the owner suffer the loss of his/her boat, but he/she has to repay the city for the removal of the destroyed boat, which can amount to thousands of dollars. In the distance three other boats can be seen. A total of ten boats were ripped from their moorings. One sank, nine washed ashore. Only one was salvagable. The others were destroyed and taken to the local landfill.
Paradise Lost Fri, 29 Jan 2010 12:16:52 GMT (image)Seven day ago: After five days of high winds, angry seas, and lots of rain the casualties lay upon the beach. A total of nine sailboats and power boats were ripped from their moorings and dashed on the rocks or beach. Update: Yesterday, both of these boats were completed ripped apart by bulldozers and skiploaders then carried away to the local landfill.

INCREDIBLE CRASH AND LUCK (THE OTHER SIDE) Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:53:58 GMT (image)This is the other side of the truck , look how the truck is broken at the middle of the roof and it was pressing the baby seat and firefighters had to to work hard to get out the baby trapped in his seat. you can see the baby door window broken and hanging with his baby draws, sun protection. incredible the baby was not hurt.
INCREDIBLE CRASH AND LUCK Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:17:01 GMT (image)Few minutes ago this 4x4 truck flew through the air and landed on the yellow taxi, after hitting another car, and incredibly for the pilot good luck, had a baby is his special seat in the rear and was unharmed. I will posy the other side pic, later. PS: Finally I can put Betty in a cage and now I'm free again!!! hahahaahaha!!!
I'm alive after this!!!!! Sun, 25 Oct 2009 10:59:54 GMT (image)A few moments ago I went to buy our breakfast and suddenly this car, driven by a young guy totally drugged and drunk, accompanied by a beautiful young lady almost killed me crossing a red light to 120km per hour! I had to make a very quick maneuver to avoid impacting me, but they were not so lucky and had 2 screwdriver rolls before end crossed in the street. PS: you can see the guy and his girlfriend into the car yet.

MEN IN RED AT WORK Tue, 22 Sep 2009 21:28:20 GMT (image)This guy jumped the obstacle in his bicycle without any protección and you can see what they got and how the other riders who have no protection too looks incredulous what happened to his arm while he was faint amid the dusty floor. PS: While I'm waiting a reply from the newspaper I have made a deal with the firefighters and our private security , they have my mobile phone and call me when something happens, I take some pictures and send it to them by email like a gift. I made it some pos edition to put more drama in the pic :))
ACTION AND CONSEQUENCE Tue, 22 Sep 2009 07:09:32 GMT (image)These two thieves came to rob a house causing immediate reaction of the police special forces who captured them in few minutes. Here you can see the attack planning of the police and also to the 2 thieves already captured and put inside the police vehicle. Those stupid guys didn't know that we have several security cameras in all my district, LOL!!
TRAPED IN HIS LITTLE VAN Mon, 21 Sep 2009 21:00:40 GMT (image)Incredible this happens at the back block of my home the same day of my previous post (yesterday) in the afternoon. Firemen had to cut the little car to take out the poor guy. happily the guy don't had great wounds and he is OK, I ask for his e mail and I send to him several pics of all his rescue :) PS: As some of you knows I was a journalist politic writer retired because politic here is bullshit. But due to your advices I'm in flirts with a newspaper that will give me a radio with police and fire corp sequence, and maybe they can buy me some pics.
MAN IN RED Mon, 21 Sep 2009 08:31:04 GMT (image)It's amazing, but since I deciding to take journailsm and documentaries pics, (since I post the photo of the suicide), daily these things happen very close to me. For example, this happened yesterday morning in front of me when I left a supermarket near my home and in the afternoon another small truck crashed hard and the driver was trapped in it and firefighters had to cut the car to take out the guy. It will be my new karma? or "THE SECRET" (THE LAW OF ATTRACTION) is working for me :))
ANOTHER "LITTLE ANGEL" Sun, 20 Sep 2009 12:00:03 GMT (image)Yesterday, when our private security (Serenazgo) took the criminal of my previous post at the police station, I took the handicap gentleman (his victim) to make the complaint and to recover his stolen property. There, another officer asked me to please take him to a prison in another district police station where they caught a criminal who allegedly killed 2 police officers. Look the face of this other "poor little angel", He is very lucky that here there is no death penalty, although the policeman that I took for interrogated the guy wants to kill him with his own hands.
THIS IS ONE OF YOUR "POOR ANGELS" (TO ROBERTO Z.) Sat, 19 Sep 2009 19:10:18 GMT (image)After taking the photo that I post before, I continue taking others to these "poor little angels" and then came 4 "Angels" more to drink with them. Among them I recognized a face that I had seen several times in my district and I decided to follow him to see what he will make. Here you have the proof that they are not "ANGELS" This guy attack with a knife at this Handicap Sir exactly in front the hotel in what our friend Dora Bruce staying when she visits Lima in a very elegant, nice and touristic zone, very near my home. But in my district we pay for an special security force that we called "Serenazgo" and they capture the guy in few seconds only with a call from my mobile phone. You can see in the low part of the pic that the guy have ID of the Marine special forces.
OH! NO! WHAT I DID? Wed, 16 Sep 2009 07:58:34 GMT (image)This was taken YESTERDAY, IS A TERRIBLE CRASH OF THE GRAY CAR WHO IMPACT WITH THE OLD VW (LOOK THE LEFT BACK WHEEL). THIS CRASH LEAVING A WOMAN SERIOUSLY WOUND AND SHE WAS INSIDE THE VW. AT TIME OF THIS PHOTO. THE WOMAN THAT HAS HER BACK TO THE CAMERA IS WHO CAUSED THIS ACCIDENT AND SHE IS LOOKING WHAT HE DID. PS: LATELY I'M LOOKING FOR STREET AND JOURNALISM PICS AS YOU CAN SEE AND I ASSURE YOU THAT IF YOU HAVE A CAMERA ALWAYS WITH YOU IT IS VERY EASY TO FIND.
THE OTHER FACE OF DEAD Sun, 13 Sep 2009 21:48:34 GMT (image)And what is your opinion when the possible dead person could be the photographer?? that's to say, the other side of the coin in photo journalism. this pic was here as the previous one from 2005, inclusive a lot of PP people look both pics in an old Blog that I started but don't continue with it :) you can read about this pic and the comments at. http://theeyeofother.blogspot.com/2006/11/when-i-say-street-photography-i-refer_16.html#links
SAD DECISION Sun, 13 Sep 2009 10:37:12 GMT (image)I took this pic sequence some years ago and I'm posting here now because with my yesterday post, my Dear friend Joan say "don't feel comfortable watching these scenes in this site... playing with sickness, death and others' suffering... no, I don't like to see this here" But really I think that if I go to all places with my camera and if I find something like this, like I did in this opportunity, what can I made?? What I made was, without the guy noticed, I took out my camera and be ready to shoot in burst, then Betty and I start to speak with the guy for long time trying to convincing him that don't jump. You can see it in the first 3 pics and I almost had success,even in the first pic the guy was laughing with me but in that moment come the police and the guy go to the border and jump in front us. So I took my camera and start to shoot at the end of his life. This are only few pics,and I deformed his eyes in respect to him. I have several pics of his fall to the cliff, about 30 almost falling in the air, but I only post this ones because I think is enough. Well the point is I don't considered me like an artistic photographer I don't look for beauty compositions, etc. I only like to take pics as real as I can. Sometimes I make PS work if I really dont like the pic that I post, because I'm know that Im not a good photographer. Next post will be the pic of the Day that I would be killed by guns :))

Incurable Energy Wed, 02 Sep 2009 19:11:15 GMT (image)I sneaked out into the garden noticing dead corpses in various places at about 4AM. This was just at about 10AM later...... After a 3 day party rampage before the going back to school time in 2 days from now I saw this a few hrs after sun rise.
Koto Tue, 04 Aug 2009 20:39:55 GMT (image)KOTO is a kind of zither. It has been used as one of the main chamber instruments of Japanese traditional music style. The length of KOTO is about 180cm. A traditional KOTO has 13 strings, being arched tautly across 13 movable bridges along the length of the instrument (as in this picture). Players make base pitches by moving these13 bridges before playing.
Uban Views Thu, 23 Apr 2009 21:54:10 GMT (image)This shot is three merged...about 21" wide and 8" tall. I reduced the size to 16% AND reduced the quality to be able to post. Three shots for an Urban project of a Railroad under a freeway ramp. All shots were using a 10.5mm Nikon lens. All were at F/22...with shutter speeds varied to adjust for exposure. Posted details are for the center shot. This shot can be seen at www.chastainphotography.com/urbangraffiti.jpg -- This posted image has been reduced as well but will give better details than can be seen posting here. As always, honest feedback is welcome. (10.5mm; ISO 400; 1/30sec.)

WHICH IS THE BRIDE? Sat, 14 Feb 2009 21:13:27 GMT (image)When I post this morning a pic dedicated to Valentine's Day , I promised you to return to the Love Park at night because I was sure to find all types of events dedicated to celebrating Valentine's Day .... ... But I never thought finding a marriage between two men and less than one dressed as a bride, LOL! If you see the sign on the left of the pic, you can see a priest kissing a soldier with the caption that says: "Love does not discriminate." Perhaps they exaggerated by putting something like that, because it was not something of good taste for many. In my country, gay weddings are not legal yet, but they: Gays, lesbians, transvestites, etc. always celebrate some special days, for them, with ceremonies like this or some other. I have nothing against them and I must say that I respect their way of thinking, after all, we all have the right to be happy. PS: I have to say that I saw Joan Roca with his husband around there, LOL!!! Now I know that he will make a big revenge against me.

PS: IT IS ANOTHER PIC OF MY LITTLE SERIES STRANGE SINGS :))
"Development, Progress and Modernity" Tue, 16 Dec 2008 06:20:16 GMT (image)Commonly here, people of low economic resources, climb a hill or encroach on a large field, That have an owner or not, put the national flag and a few huts of reeds and invade in this way the state or private land. After a few years, changing huts by buildings made of brick and concrete and put signs like the one that I show here " development, progress and modernity "within a few years the government give them the registration of ownership and they left with the land property for free.
