Noche de Galeria: Mayaguez, PR

We were a bit worried about the rain and the murders that occurred in Mayaguez that night. As we were driving to the venue we could see the police closing an area underneath the bridge of “el viaducto” leading to McKinley ST. To tell you the truth it kinda looked like they were filming CSI or Something it’s hard to distinguish reality from staged acts when you are on the spectator seat. Anyway back to business after the rain stopped we enjoyed the funky fresh music from Los Melancolicos de Marte and the various art projects from local artists such as Jason Ferrer among others.

I'm no weather man but I did see it coming, around 4:30pm it started raining hard first thing a thought was i "Now this isn't going to happen" (thinking about the photo shoot) and we have to cancel the shoot and my trip to Mayaguez will be worthless. Never the less after 15 min of rain the sky cleared and we had enough natural light to shoot in outside and be able to walk around to find more spots. We went guerilla style and invaded the UPR Mayaguez campus camera in hand and my SB 800 flash mounted in my tripod. Deep in the belly of the university's Physics building we found a maze of corridors that connected the 2 amphitheaters the building has. it was a great spot and well lit. We manage to do 5 locations inside the university moving as fast as we could without driving too much attention to ourselves until the sun went down around 6:30. After reviewing the others I find this shot to be my personal favorite.
Last Sunday started for me around 1 pm, after a late night out i felt really tired and slept till late. However I knew I had to do something to shake off the laziness so I went to Cafelados in Aguada and got coffee the fix that i needed to get going. As I was driving down to Mayaguez from Aguadilla, a typical 40 min drive. I noticed that it was getting cloudy as i approached Mayaguez i was a little suspicious but i kept going till i arrived to my meeting with the guys from Aurasonico.
