Many people talk about animals and a few others are owners. I love horses.
I find them to have great powers. They are strong
fast and even wild. Here is a photo of a young black and white horse in
a stable in New York. The Bronx to exact. To view or order prints: http://joserojasphoto.com/

Retouch headshot using Lightroom

2010-10-28T09:30:00.001-07:00

Some people struggle to find a way to make a portrait look soft. I found a nice trick to softening my portrait in Adobe lightroom. In lightroom Click on the brush tool, follow by going below and clicking on Exposure and go to the menu that says Soften skin and you will be ready to start working. Brush around the face areas that you want soft, while avoiding the eyes and lips of course. To view if you missed a spot click on the black dot and this will show like a mask of the areas brushed by you. Continue to do this until you are satisfy. Once your done you may want to consider the level of the Soft Skin Effect you like for this photo I used about 52% percent. But you can choose whatever you think is right.

Lame MTV VMAs leaves viewers wanting more

2010-09-13T09:04:00.000-07:00

Ok, so a group of us watched the MTV VMAs together and found ourselves wondering is MTV a thing of the past. And the answered could be that there is a possibility MTV is out of touch with the new viewers. They pretty much have forgotten the older
viewers. I would say that 50% of the artist present are lost or naive. With their poor dressing, communication and lots of unwanted
baggage. MTV continues to attack the artist the viewers and fan love and purchase their music. A show which supposed to be rewarding good craftsmanship cannot attack its artist. No wonder so many talented artist skip this crappy show. Which the VMAs
has become. The poorly produce show needs to fire some of the staff. Including the person who suggested it the host. They should also consider having show base on attacking the musicians separately from the VMAs. It makes me sick to an artist get
awarded for some crappy poorly edited dance move videos. Perhaps MTV needs to sent their producers to watch a couple of Broadway shows to see what singing and dancing is all about. The VMAs was the weakest poorly produce show ever. They should thank Lady Gaga, The innocent miss America Taylor Swift and of course Mr. Kanye West. These Artist saved you and kept the viewers watching. I rate the VMAs 1 star out of 5.

Lighting portrait 101

2010-08-10T18:24:00.000-07:00

To light a portrait a lot of us immediately think what type of light can i used and the simple answer is whatever is available. That's all you need, because that's what you have. Now don't get me wrong with a chunk of cash you can get quality professional strobes that can run you over $5,000 on a basic kit and if your field demands that type
equipment get it, practice and wait for the bookings to come in. Now if you are like most of us that want to be there but can't a simple kit will do. You can even improvise
and visit a hardware store, go online and use the web to find millions of how to sites.
remember one thing for all we know you might create the next invention. One suggestion don't burn the house down. Now back to the topic of lighting. Use whatever you have have I remember doing and entire house party with no lighting at all and guest what I got some pretty good pictures. Of course many occasion you can do without. Show up to a magazine photo meeting and tell them you don't use light, you will never find work in that town or any other town. If you wan to make and impression learn how to use lighting properly. I bet most people don't know or don't care what type of lighting you are going to use. Show with a camera flash and some customers will be happy with that. The bottom line is to practice don't invest a lot, buy simple and grow from there and don't forget practice, practice and more practice that's how you will become better. LIGHTING SUGGESTION 101 COMING SOON. For more information visit http://www.strobist.blogspot.com/

The Fall of Baseball
By: Jose Rojas

Since I can remember the game of baseball has been my secret love affair.
I always have dedicated myself to the game and its players. But just
like a person struggling to survive and been abuse in every kind
imaginable way, here comes baseball and joins that elite group of
savvy marketing and publishing know it all group to do the same.
To target the point on how I and many others began to feel this way,
Baseball has allowed its players to party with illegal products to improved
not the game nor the players. But to simply improve a failing system overcome
with personal greed. After making record breaking amounts of
money in attendance, bonus, alcohol and advertising its now
time to look away a find the weakness link to prove their innocence.
Lets take for example, the notion of insulting the past, by breaking
those weak records that are also insulting to what we as a free nation stand
and fought for. Baseball asked its player to be productive. To
increase performance, but at the same time rewarding them with
huge amount of cash. You can ask anyone of the fair practice used
and I personally think its unfair. We have leaders such as politicians
who have shower in these wrongful practices. All one have to do
its simple, apologize to everyone and be forgiven. One thing require,
a few things require for forgiveness, are as follows, be American, loose the
accent, vent at your knees and once again be American. When one breaks
a rule, the rule is broken. Therefore, no apology nor excuse shall be grant
it. A recent case(S) comes to mind ARod vs. Manny or just being Manny or
simple us. ARod's allegation of cheating and admitting his wrongful doing
with no punishment its a sin. Yet lets remember ARod is one of them. Now
Us our Manny, our look, our celebration. He commits a act of foolishness
and its rightfully suspended. Does he deserve to be punish of course. Many
might say he has not done enough to vent at the knees therefore his guilty.
He is Manny with the look of the people punished in the past and
punishable in the future.

Una liga legendaria establesida en 1985 por Luis Gonzales.

Hasta el dia de hoy Septienbre 7, 2008 y sin respecto ni apollo de los fanatico presente, entra al juego el pitcher estelar Gregorio Tejada que poncho a 10 jugadores de Associated Supermarket de Yonkers, New York y su picther Jose Ramirez que dio 4 carreras en tres entrada y sin criticar no tenia nada en el dia de hoy. Que lastima que con tanto talento perdieran el juego. El senor Tejada fue coronado como el mas valosioso del juego. Donde estan los agente de los Yankees? para firmar este pitcher.

Memorial

2007-08-12T19:04:00.000-07:00

I painted this picture on september 11, 2001 while I was taking Art classes at Bronx Community College in the Bronx, New York. From the Campus I was able to see the smoke coming out of the building. I did not know how serious the problem was, only that an airplane had crash onto one of the building. I entered my Art class and began to Paint this memorial soon after we were informed the news and class was dismiss. This painting it's very special to me and it bring me memories of how sweet everything was back them. Oil on board 20 x 24.
