Delicias de ternera. Soy prácticamente vegetariano, pero en ocasiones me toca fotografiar gastronomía, y ahí me encuentro en la tesitura de comer alguno de los platos fotografiados aunque sea carne. Así que de vez en cuando, muy de vez vez en cuando, me como un plato de carne. No es que me siente de maravilla, pero tampoco lo rechazo.

The small Balearic island of Formentera is famous for having the cleanest and clearest waters in the Mediterranean Sea, and this is because it is surrounded by posidonia meadows, a seaweed that purifies the sea and keeps it healthy and clean. This image is taken on the popular beach of Ses Illetes (the little islands), located in the north of the island and within the Natural Park of Ses Salines, having a high degree of protection.

The City of Arts and Sciences is a huge complex built on the old bed of the River Turia, which groups together a series of new buildings that house different museums and experimental spaces. This image corresponds to the side of the Science Museum, a complex structure, difficult to read, but not without aesthetics.Unless stated otherwise, all the pictures and the words are mine.

In the Balearic Islands we celebrate the summer solstice with a night of fire and festivities. Old junk is burnt, wine is plentiful and "els dimonis" (the devils) chase the evil spirits of anyone who gets in their way. It is the Nit de Sant Joan. All the images I publish are my own.

El ensanche de Barcelona ocupa gran parte de la ciudad y es el área que diseñó el urbanista Ildefonso Cerdá con la distribución de la ciudad en cuadrícula y haciendo en cada cruce una esquina cortada. Esta innovación urbanística dio lugar a infinidad de modelos de esquinas, cada una de diferente estructura. En la imagen vemos una de las más particulares en el cruce de las calles de La Diputación y Bruc, en el pleno centro de barcelona. Todas las imágenes que publico son de mi autoría.

Back in the day we photographers used film to record our work. There were several types of film, basically black and white negatives, slide film and colour negative among other less used. An important part of my archive is in slides, and a little part of them are scanned. I have published in the analog film community at Hive a tiny storytelling about an important religious festivity in Yucatán, Mexico, registered in slide film back in 1998. https://peakd.com/hive-120035/@xaviduran/religious-festivity-in-yucatan-mexico Unless stated otherwise, all the pictures and the words are mine.

Autumn at last! Living in a place where tourism is the main industry is sometimes torture. We have had a truly oppressive high season, sweltering heat, hordes of cruise ship tourists and almost two million visitors looking for paradise beaches with the added bonus of nightlife. Very stressful even for those who are not directly related to the tourism sector, as they have to put up with traffic on the verge of collapse and a decline in the quality of public services. All these inconveniences are almost invisible to visitors who spend at most a week among us and have practically no contact with the reality of the residents. So, when autumn arrives and the holiday crowds disappear, we breathe a sigh of relief and that is when we start to enjoy the place we live in again. Photo of the historic centre of Ibiza, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Castellano ¡Por fin el otoño! Vivir en un sitio en el que el turismo es la principal industria, es aveces una tortura. Hemos tenido una temporada alta realmente agobiante, un calor sofocante, hordas de turistas de crucero y casi dos millones de visitantes buscando playas paradisíacas con el añadido del ocio nocturno. Muy estresante incluso para aquellos que no están relacionados directamente con con el sector turístico, ya que tienen que aguantar un tráfico en el límite del colapso y un descenso en la calidad de los servicios públicos. Todos estos inconvenientes son casi invisibles para los visitantes que pasan como mucho una semana entre nosotros y que no tienen prácticamente contacto con la realidad de los residentes. Así pues, cuando llega llega el otoño y las masas vacacionales desaparecen, respiramos tranquilos y ahí es cuando empezamos nuevamente a disfrutar del lugar en el vivimos.

The former main train station of Barcelona is nowadays the terminal of commuter trains. On Sundays almost no one is traveling in this kind of transport, so it is a good opportunity to make some pictures at ease. Unless stated otherwise, all the pictures and the words are mine.

All the maps lie. I am a map addict, and I consider that for one reason or another all maps lie. This one might be an exception in part, though, as it is a compendium of historical information and the author's imagination, and it presents a completely different vision of what Africa would be like if we Europeans hadn't come down to raid and colonise. Is the map lying? Strictly speaking, yes. But if we go for the imaginative side, it could be qualified as fiction, and can fiction be qualified as a lie? Devised by Swedish artist Nikolaj Cyon, this map depicts what Africa would look like today if European colonialism had never appeared on the African continent. (Africa's current borders were largely determined by colonialism, which still creates many very serious problems today). Cyon drew these borders based on a survey of political and tribal units in 1844, the eve of Europe's "scramble for Africa". He oriented it with the south at the top to reverse Europe's traditional orientation at the top.

Todos los mapas mienten (Español / English) Soy un adicto a los mapas, y considero que por una u otra razón todos mienten. Aunque este podría ser una excepción en parte, ya que es un compendio de información histórica e imaginación del autor, y plantea una visión completamente diferente de cómo sería África si los europeos no hubiéramos bajado a incordiar y colonizar. ¿Miente? evaluándolo estrictamente, si. Pero si nos vamos por la vertiente imaginativa, se podría calificar de ficción y ¿se puede calificar de mentira la ficción? Ideado por el artista sueco Nikolaj Cyon, este mapa plantea cómo sería África hoy en día si el colonialismo europeo jamás hubiera aparecido por el continente africano. (Las fronteras actuales de África fueron determinadas en gran medida por el colonialismo, que aún hoy siguen creando muchos y muy graves problemas). Cyon dibujó estas fronteras basándose en un estudio de las unidades políticas y tribales en 1844, la víspera de la "lucha por África" de Europa. Lo orientó con el sur en la parte superior para invertir la orientación tradicional de Europa en la parte superior.

Hello everybody. I would like to introduce myself with an image that represents my work and also my passion, architectural photography. Although during more than 30 years of profession I have touched almost all areas of photography, in the end, what I really enjoy is capturing the essence of buildings. I leave here a sample of my work with an image of the library of the Humbold University in Berlin. Spanish Hola a todos.

Vivo en una isla, y la únicas maneras que tenemos los isleños de salir de nuestro aislado universo, es en avión o en barco. Particularmente, la mayoría de las veces prefiero hacerlo por barco. La travesía dura entre 3 y 7 horas dependiendo del punto del continente que uno quiera llegar. Desplazarse en barco es siempre mucho más más relajado que el avión, en todos los casos se llega casi al centro de ciudad de destino y sobre todo, te da tiempo a organizarte mentalmente tu viaje, con más tranquilidad. Es otra filosofía de viaje. Normalmente los barcos tienen su salida hacia la península a primera hora de la mañana, lo que da la oportunidad de hacer fotos con una buena luz. Una imagen tomada a la salida del puerto de Ibiza desde la parte más alta del barco que nos llevaba a Barcelona para unas pequeñas vacaciones. #photography #travel #sailing #ocean @xaviduran

Another kind of photography. This is a sample of an important part of my work, making time lapses. On this occasion I had to mount the slider at ground level in order to capture with more emphasis, the assembly of the moving columns. I took 250 pictures and each shot was taken at a frequency of 3 seconds between each one. The whole set was perfectly levelled for perspective correction.
