Photographer: Robert Delgadillo  (Karma=3509)
Los Angeles, California USA 
About: My portfolio represents the ongoing development of my interest in photography and post processing.
One of my favorite artists is Aubrey Beardsley who created striking and controversial images in black ink only during the Victorian Era. The ability to create such works of art with only black ink or pencil has always fascinated me. This medium takes imagery to the basic forms of shape and simplicity that color images cannot.
By post processing with digital photography, I create images in high contrast that have the appearance of ink drawings. My portfolio consists of many of these high contrast images. As a point of reference I usually include the original image taken in color. My images also reflect the world around me. Anything can be my subject, from people to flowers, from landscapes to shadows on the sidewalk.
Photography is my hobby that takes up all my spare time in a busy life of work as a professional designer and father. As a consequence of this busy lifestyle I have very little time to respond to comments or add comments to other excellent work posted here that I admire. Be sure that I do read all comments and appreciate the time and effort put in by those fellow photographers who write them.
Your words of encouragement have motivated me to continue my interest in photography and challenge me to try and improve upon my techniques and skills.
I hope you enjoy what I have posted. Comments and critiques are always welcome.

Portfolio: Do Dah Parade
Portfolio Description: The Doo Dah Parade is a popular farcical and flamboyant parade held in Pasadena, California about once a year, usually in the fall or winter. Conceived in 1976 by several friends as a response to the traditional formality of the Rose Parade, which is also held in Pasadena. So they decided it would be fun to have an alternate parade that year. Some of the early participants were Snotty Scotty and the Hankies, The Lawn mower drill team, The Briefcase drill team and General Hershey Bar, among many others. The Bastard Sons of Lee Marvin, The Men of Leisure Synchronized Nap Team, and the band "Snotty Scotty and the Hankies, still the Official band. Many groups participate in the Doo Dah Parade as a fundraising effort for various charities.
The crowd is just as crazy as the particpants. This year the parade was held on January 18th. Right in the middle of winter where many people are trying to keep warm, we are in the middle of a heat wave with 8 straight days in the 80's. Now you know why so many people come here to visit and end up staying.
