[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Una escena cotidiana en el puerto de Veracruz en el año de 1991: ver los barcos pasar.
Las esquinas oscurecidas por el efecto de viñeteado que daba el lente 28 mm de Pentax, el peorcito de mi juego de angular, normal y tele con que equipaba a mi Pentax Spotmatik en esos años.
La foto tomada con pelicula de diapositiva Kodak asa 100, escaneada a 1800 dpi, ajustados luces, sombras, colores, curvas, recortada en sus esquinas y enmarcado para disminuir el efecto del vileteado.

Hi Alfonso,
The image is not that sharp but the way you captured the moment is good. Nice daily life reminding us of our childhood. Well presented! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

¡¡Y sigue la mata de colores dando, qué bueno!! Esta foto me gusta principalmente por la composición y por la escena, que es tan natural. Podría ser del siglo XIX...claro que sin shorts!!.

Alfonso,
I tried to salvage the photo, by working it in B&W , There is a workshop on it.
Saludos,
Wellington

Hola Alfonso

Your picture has quite similar with my city in the point of the beach, when the passengers' ships leave Porto, all are in the sidewalk to see the ships leave.
This picture has a lot of common with here in my city.
Congratulations, beautiful shot and beautiful compo!

Ola Alfonso !

Veracruz is the title of a song from Pierre Calvé . This artist back in the 60s, took his scooter and left Canada with his wife and headed to Mexico with his guitar . During his travel down there , he composed many songs . Veracruz is a charming and joyful one.

I forgot to mention Pierre was a seaman as well in is ealy years , His repertoire of songs reflects very well the moods and feelings of seafarers.

This soft shot is bringing me sweet memories of a past life ( as I was a seafarer as well for ten years). Many kids are dreaming to travel on the seven seas. I was one myself , and I was blessed to have succeeeded in realizing it.

Cheers!
Robert
PS. I have tried in vain to find an audio file of the song available on the web.
