The View from my Car Window continuous…a very different perspective, frustrating but rewarding Photography…edited in Aperture 2 and exported to PhotoShelter never leaving Aperture, sounds familiar…
Aperture has just been updated to 2.1.1
Apple has just released Aperture 2.1.1, and update to the program that "supports general compatibility issues, improves overall stability, and addresses a number of minor issues."
A few recent images from this series are on my Blog Gallery click here
or on the image above.

Sometimes we don’t realize what is around us when we travel by car… traveling to meetings or other appointments, visiting friends or family members. In short we spend a lot of time in our vehicles, trains, busses etc.
Shooting from your car window…glued to your seat never leaving the car, of course you have to have a Driver or go by Taxi. This can be challenging but also rewarding a very different perspective from the car window… you might remember I did something similar in Mumbai, India.
I had to discipline myself not to jump out of the car at times, but then that was the whole Idea in the first place, and I am not finish yet by all means…a lot more to come.
Not easy… moving, your view been blocked by other vehicles when you just about to press the shutter, trucks pull along side of you, or you have to stop at a red traffic light… see something and then of course comes Green, oh no… missed that one too.
We see these images every day as we drive to work or go to meetings, never realizing what is around us since we have to pay attention to the traffic. But as a passenger or with a driver you can create some amazing images, of course you have to bring your Camera along to the Board meeting… “A word of advice don’t try this, if you driving the car this could lead to major traffic jams and crashes…”
For more on the “The View from the Car Window” go my PhotoShelter Archive there you find images from Mumbai, India and Manila, Philippines.
PS.
All images have been taken with out ever leaving the car, edited in Aperture 2.1 then exported direct to PhotoShelter using the Plug-in from PhotoShelter never leaving Aperture. In other words I was “glued” to my car seat and also to my seat in front of my Mac BookPro using Aperture 2.1.1 now if that is not a coincident, then I don’t know.

Congratulation
to Luis Martin
Harder one of my students from the
Cambodian GDPhotoWorkshop last year…he really went
out his way and show cased his very first Exhibition
on the 13th of May in Manila.
Since Cambodia he has done real well, more than 30
images from Cambodia and the Philippines are on
display, very impressive work I might add and I am
very proud of him.
A good and mixed crowed attended the opening night at
the One Workshop Gallery including other familiar
faces like good old Bebet Gaudinez (I am just waiting
to see
his Exhibition) and Jasmine Manabat who also attended
my PhotoWorkshop last year,
almost like a “little reunion”.
Photographers like Wig Tysman, Tilak Hettig, George
Tapan and many other personalities including Henry
Bateman Artist/Writer showed up to give Luis the
credit he deserves, of course the host Photographer
Master printer and Artist Ross Capilli and his wife
made sure everybody had enough to drink and
eat. Thanks
Ross.
Congratulations again to Luis Harder for a great show
and super cool images…
You might remember from one of my earlier blogs…he
was the one who received the Aperture
software,
(which was
sponsored by the Power Mac Center in
Makati)
during our Cambodian GDPhotoWorkshop, see the image
below in case you have forgotten.
Thanks for inviting me
and being part of your show, keep up the good work
Luis.
