¡Que Bonita Bandera!

The Puerto Rican Flag

There are multiple variations of the Puerto Rican flag. Locally depending on what Political Party is in Power, they switch from the Original Color which is the one above to one that represents more the United States Flag. 

In my case I prefer the original version, not only does it represent how many have fought for the rights of this Island but it's the reality we live as being second class citizens living in a colony of a nation that benefits heavily from the relationship.

At one point it was illegal to possess a Puerto Rican flag and you could be thrown in jail for it. If always carry the version of the Resistance Flag in my backpacks as a reminder of how much we have to work hard to get what is right for our Island.

Yesterday as I was in a photo shoot with two clients I saw this flag on the beach. I had no option but to return and photograph this image of our beautiful flag flying on Condado Beach.

La Perla at a Distance from El Morro

La Perla at a Distance from El Morro

Landscape Photography

La Perla at a Distance!

We were visiting El Morro Fort which has a historical connection to my family heritage.

At a distance, I did my best to capture the colors of La Perla.

Way before Daddy Yankee's Despacito, La Perla has been the cultural hub of many arts. Before the Hurricane Despacito helped La Perla become a Tourist Spot, after the hurricane there have been and are multiple efforts to help the residents of La Perla rebuild.

La Perla serves as a quick reminder of the many Puerto Ricans that live in poverty before and after Hurricane Maria but are very proud of what they have and work as a community to overcome whatever challenges they have.

Early Spring Morning in Isla Verde Beach

Early Spring Morning in Isla Verde Beach

instagram-1-552 Early Spring Morning in Isla Verde Beach

Early Spring at Isla Verde Beach

The date gets closer for us to move from Isla Verde Beach.

The photos I have taken over a period of more than four years will serve as a way to remember this great experience.

Living on the beach was something I always wanted to do. Having the opportunity to live this dream is truly exceptional.

My daughter can say she woke up for most of her first years in this world looking at the Ocean and enjoying Beach life in the Caribbean.

Having been brought up in the Inner City around crime. I am exceptionally proud of the efforts myself, and my partner does to make sure our daughter has a better chance at life than we did.
