Almendra: A rare acquisition
Smile to my new Nikon D40x
Back in 2004 I bought myself a very small and nice digital camera Pentax Optio S4i as you probably already knew. For 3 years I’ve been taking lots of pictures and having lots of fun with my camera, but over this past 3 years I also realized how point and shot cameras are very limited [...]
Puerto Escondido
I can only describe this amazing trip to Puerto Escondido to Eva and Niv’s wedding in spanish.
Cómo describir lo vivido en Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, México en el Agosto de 2007, cuando los adjetivos se quedan cortos?
Una mezcla explosiva de Evas y Nives, de Mafaldas y Susanitas, Tequilas, Mazeltovs, y olas gigantes. De [...]

Job interview
Take a look at these funny pictures taken during my job interview with National Instruments back in 2001.
Thanks to Victor for sharing the pictures!

Christmas in Albany
My trip to Albany was very fun. It was nice to see my sister and to meet all her friends. We spent the 24th at Fernando’s house eating Ajiaco, drinking Aguardiente and dancing vallenatos, salsas and porros which made the night very colombian-style.
I forgot to bring my camera but my sister took some pictures.
Adventures in Spain
I started posting a few comments from Spain during my trip, but then it became more difficult to find internet access. Now I’m back in Austin after a very loooong flight back home and I’m very pleased to say that my trip was fantastic. I think Spain is a beautiful country with very nice people, [...]
