In the borders of Lima city the hill disappears, it’s populated by homes that see the sea with open mouths and astonished eyes staring in their colored faces…
Lima
Pause in middle of the game
A ball almost frozen in the reality of fractions of second… a photographic illusion. Life just doesn’t stop.
Memories coming back…
Constructicons army
An army of yellow robots waiting to conquer the world.

I took this photograph in October of 2009 with my first digital camera, a point and shoot of four mega pixels… the tall building, the Westin Lima Hotel, was built around that time and is the tallest building in Peru, although now the national bank is building one even taller. It’s from a bridge to the bus station, minutes before traveling, again, to the highlands in the south.
Just do it
This was when in a travel my bus arrived to Lima city from the south. Lima has millions and millions of habitants… so many people. According to a study there is people there that has never seen the city beyond two or three districts.
I liked the idea that you can rest like a king in middle of the chaotic morning, when everybody is in a rush to go to their works, in several cases travelling even three hours. I know that in other places like China the distances and traffic inside the cities can last days but I mostly live in relatively small cities.
I don’t care, I’ll wait
One world, one home, one human, one pole, one desert.

Lima A – a compact camera
finesse en vermillon
A few years ago my big brother gifted me my first digital camera, a HP R607 with 4.1MP, a little sensor and a 3X zoom lens. That doesn’t made me a photographer of course, just gave me an important tool to don’t forget what I see with my eyes.
Today I use a camera manufactured in 2005 but with a bigger sensor. I am definitively not a photographer nor I would have the time (or the understanding) to be one because my goal is to enjoy the places I visit briefly, and for that reason my most important possession are good shoes to walk the road I do with my steps. Although these photographs have eight or six years the theme and composition is the same I have now, the difference I’d say is that today I’ve a better tool. These photographs are from Lima, the capital city of Peru, a city that mostly is under a grey and boring sky but in summer is most animated, that’s my favorite season to travel there.

The best building could be the Interbank tower in San Isidro, it was designed by the architect Hans Hollein.

This is an sculpture designed by an artist that could be our best plastic artist in this age: Fernando de Szyszlo, if I am not wrong his parents are of polish origins. It’s his interpretation of an intihuatana (or intiwatana)

BTW it’s a photo in color about black tiles at night, not converted to B&W.
