First Trip To Boston

by RalphGMUrban Photography April 26, 2019December 26, 2023No Comments

This has been our first short trip to Boston, Massachusetts. Every time I plan for a trip to a new city I usually spend a significant amount of time doing research about where to capture the skyline and the availability of public transportation. I also make a list of public parks with nice views and the hours they are open so I go straight to the point when I arrive. The weather was fine the first day but we had to deal with temperatures dropping overnight for the rest of our stay.

México Lindo y Querido (and Impressive)

by RalphGMUrban Photography November 17, 2018December 26, 2023No Comments

This year Randy had the opportunity to visit Mexico several times. The photo sequences from México City and Quintana Roo are unbelievable. The Mexican culture is so rich and eclectic that I would recommend everyone to visit that country at least 5 times. I have been to Baja California only, which is so easy for me because I live just a few hours from the border crossing but I will talk about that in the future.

Busy Day in The Big Apple

by RalphGMNew York, Urban Photography June 30, 2018December 26, 2023No Comments

Today has been the busiest day for Randy and myself in New York City. I started capturing the clouds over midtown from Brooklyn’s Greenpoint and Randy went to Central Park and surrounding areas.

Cinematic Sunsets From Queens, New York

by RalphGMNew York, Urban Photography June 29, 2018January 2, 2024No Comments

Today I went to Queens to capture the sunset from 40 Street – Lowery St, Queens Metro Station. The number of trains arriving at this station in the afternoon during rush hour is simply unbelievable.

Montréal Total

I have to start by saying that the title of this video doesn’t mean that we covered the entire Montreal metropolitan area. We call it “Montréal Total” because this video has photo sequences of the city made during different seasons, from Winter 2012 to Fall 2017.

The L.A. Traffic

by RalphGMCalifornia, Los Angeles, Time-Lapse Video Production August 13, 2017February 5, 2024No Comments

Los Angeles is internationally known for its traffic. There are so many cars in this city that traffic violation statistics seem a little bit crazy year after year, no matter what authorities do to enforce good behavior behind the wheel.

Los Angeles Time-Lapse Arroyo Seco Tunnels

Documenting The Arroyo Seco Tunnels

by RalphGMCalifornia, Los Angeles, Urban Photography June 1, 2017February 5, 2024No Comments

I always wanted to capture these tunnels but never had the opportunity until recently. The tunnels are located near Elysian Park and are part of the 110 freeway that connects Downtown LA with Pasadena. The entire area is not considered very safe but there are many good spots to capture the traffic, therefore I took the risk three times. Twice during the day and once at night.

Summertime in Montréal

by RalphGMMontréal, Time-Lapse Video Production October 9, 2016February 1, 2024No Comments

Montréal has many spots to capture its skyline line from, which is very helpful for photography, the most notorious places are Parc Jean Drapeau, the Old Port (from the Clock Tower), and the Mount Royal hill. And for those who are not afraid of heights there is an observation deck located on the 46th floor of the Place Ville Marie building that offers 360-degree view of the city.

The Old Sixth Street Viaduct

This iconic bridge built in 1932 and considered a monument in Los Angeles is no longer part of the LA landscape. The steel arches and concrete have been suffering “the test of time” and therefore the viaduct has been demolished.

Astrophotography in L.A. and the Supermoon

by RalphGMLos Angeles, Time-Lapse Video Production August 10, 2014August 23, 2023No Comments

It has been two and a half years since I embarked on this adventurous and ever-challenging project of documenting Los Angeles using the time-lapse photography technique. From scouting locations, planning, waiting for perfect weather conditions (which are rare in LA) to hiking and driving so many miles throughout the city always looking for a good photography spot, the whole experience has been just amazing.

TimeLAX – The Beginning

by RalphGMCalifornia, Los Angeles, Time-Lapse Video Production February 13, 2013February 5, 2024No Comments

TimeLAX is a time-lapse photography project that shows the Greater Los Angeles area from many angles.

The project includes different types of photography such as panoramic, architectural and artistic. We have scouted, tested and selected more than 200 locations that will be presented in a series of videos. Although we have photo sequences made from popular spots such as the 4th St overpass in Downtown, the Griffith Observatory, the Disney Concert Hall and the John Ferraro Building, we also included unique photo sequences captured from hard-to-find and hard-to-access places.
