I finally got my film back from processing and here I share some of my favorite images from our recent trip. I have to say I am not very thrilled about the color, as I remember the hues to be stronger, but different things could be happening: the type of glass on the lens which it makes it great for B&W, maybe is not so great for color, the film was the most economic film to run a test or the processing, which I doubt since who makes my film processing has been doing it for me for already 7 years and I never had a problem. Anyway, here are some from my color film camera testing from Curaçao along with some little tales of each picture.

While in one of my walks on my own around town very early in the morning the first day there, I was amazed on the variety of colors I found around which it felt like walking in a paint store. Somehow I wanted to capture the playfulness of colors and luckily enough I came across this pedestrian wondering around the streets, at the perfect time where his shirt matched the traffic sign. Priceless.

I have seen this car parked close to the hotel and did some not so good pictures from the side and also of his driver who was playing maracas inside, with the music coming out of his head. Anyway... as I went for a afternoon walk around town I saw this line of colorful and typical construction of homes and by the time I got up the hill, as I look down I saw the car coming and I shot this only one, which it gives me great pleasure since it looks like a perfect postcard of a place somehow froze in time.

Simply the surprising effect of water. For some reason I do like a lot this picture of the place. Still trying to figure out why.

Life, death and three baguettes in between. Priceless.

I have a thing with people looking at the horizon (specially if there are ships on it). No surprise I do like this one. Is he looking at the ship coming into port?, is he thinking of home (something accentuated by the "Venezuela" on his shirt) or is he thinking of going somewhere? Also, it makes me think a lot of KOUDELKA's.

The beautiful afternoon light at the ferry station that allows you to cross from Otrobanda to Punda, when the swinging bridge is open.

Museum structure of a not so paradise feeling past. The building used to be part of a plantation where slaves were held. The yellow color is very typical of the island, which originally was obtained by mixing aloe juice with white paint.
