Interesting portfolio: very varied and with a definite personal perspective, almost a signature.

Juan De Santa Anna , May 14, 2006; 10:14 A.M.

Ruben, your portfolio sings loudly to me!I love the passion of color in your B&W... and the dramtic play with light in your color images...does that make sense??... I guess what I am trying to say is...how ever you choose to shoot...your images move me...what a great portfolio...this is the one that is making me turn off this thing and go and shoot! Thanks for the inspiration and I'll be back! Juan

Ruben Silva , May 14, 2006; 09:12 P.M.

Thanks everyone...

For the kindly comments, they give me a lot of motivation and energy to keep trying... Regards

Ruben

Thanks for the compliment on my Harley photo. Also, when I go into another persons portfolio for the first time, I always do a quick scroll down, just to see what colors are presented. Then, I go back and take a more liesurely stroll. I just wanted to say that your work has wonderful color, and remarkable definition. I enjoyed the trip.

Thanks! Wayne

Barry Denton , August 27, 2006; 11:58 P.M.

Wow!

Hi Ruben....I certainly enjoyed your portfolio! Thanks for checking out mine. I'm going to keep watching yours in the future as it is quite intriguing. Great bunch of photos!

Andrei Pfeiffer , August 28, 2006; 02:25 P.M.

Ruben ... forget about all other kinds of photography ... and go for the portrait. You have incredible portraits for an amateur. Practice more with lighting, and be carefull with the background.

Erase all other photos from your portofolio, keep the portraits. Define your style. You said in your biography that you experiment all kinds of photography ... invest more (if not all) in portraits. You deserve congrats.

Andrei Pfeiffer , August 31, 2006; 12:41 P.M.

Ruben (: ... of course, the part with "forget all other kinds of photography and focus on portraits" wasn't meant to be taken literally ... it was just an expression to emphysize the skill on the portraits (: ... regards. Thank also for your comments and appreciations.

Fran Garcia , August 31, 2006; 03:32 P.M.

Ruben gracias por tus comentarios, y si, TODAS mis modelos son de Valencia (tierra de flores y bellas mujeres) un saludo amigo fran

Jason Jimerson , August 31, 2006; 06:45 P.M.

You Got Skills

Wow! Yes, you take wonderful portraits, which I love, but your photos of Spain and other countries are also great. I aspire to shoot as well as you. How did you learn to do this so well or are you a natural? Though your hard work shows. Please keep shooting everything that catches your eye. You are a great photographer.

Peter Bajzek , September 07, 2006; 09:41 P.M.

After your comment on one of my photos I came to look at your portfolio. Your portraits are wonderful! I especially like the Camila series. Great work. Regards.

Italy

Thank you for sharing the photos of Italy, the country in which I am living right now. I particularly liked the one of Assisi, the stone tells much about genius loci, methinks.

A very very very nice portfolio

Ken Simm , November 19, 2006; 10:46 A.M.

I looked to return the compliment primarily but I was instantly caught up with the quality of your images. Portraits don't as my wife says really float my boat but your landscape and architectural shots are beautifully seen. They seem to hold an old world, early last century charm. Perhaps I am romaticising here but a particular twenties and thirties latin feel seems to come through.Regards Ken.

Alejandra Arias , November 19, 2006; 01:30 P.M.

Sinceramente me encantan tus fotos, la luz, el encuadre que logras!!. Realmente es un placer ver las imagenes que captas. Felicitaciones.

Florin Cojoc , November 26, 2006; 01:09 P.M.

wow...great portfolio, many photos are superb,my congratulations

Allen R , December 02, 2006; 06:09 P.M.

Ruben, You have an amazing portfolio. I am generally not a fan of extensive post processing, however, after looking at your portolio, I see that my reaction may have more to do with the talant of the individuals doing the processing than with the process itself. When done properly, as you do, it can actually enhance, rather than detract, from the photo. I believe we could all learn a great deal from your masterful use of this technology.

Maria Paula Langer , December 02, 2006; 09:19 P.M.

Desde Argentina

Hola Rub鮬 vuelvo a mirar tu portfolio y vuelve a sorprenderme lo bueno y variado que es !!!!!! me encanta el uso de los colores y los lentes que usas. Me parece barbaro lo enamorado que estas de tus hijas (?son tus hijas no?) y ademá³ querí¡ preguntarte donde estudiaste fotografí¡ (sobretodo tu etapa digital) porque estoy queriendo hacer algo má³® Muchas gracias.

Ruben Silva , December 03, 2006; 04:30 A.M.

Maria Paula, Gracias por tus comentarios. De las modelos que ves aqui: Joy es mi hija, las otras dos modelitos Camila y Sofia son sobrinitas.Respecto de studiar fotografia: estudie siempre por las mias, leyendo, practicando, viendo mi trabajo y el de otros. Lo mismo con el photoshop. Cualquier cosa escribime y te cuento mas: r3silva@yahoo.com.ar - Saludos

My other portfolio

Hello everybody Please take a look to my other portfolio: Ruben A. Silva Thanks and best regards! Ruben

Raymond Ellstad , June 18, 2007; 10:37 A.M.

Hello Ruben, I'd seen your other portfolio before but had not seen this one. Wow! Wonderful city scapes, well considered lit and executed. I also have enjoyed viewing your portraits. I must say that I am jealous of your location and your ability to easily travel throughout Spain and the rest of Europe. I love traveling in Spain, Italy and the rest of Europe and only wish I was able to photograph there daily and be able to return to a location if my visualization did not work out on the first try for another attempt. You are a lucky man and a talented one. Cheers, Raymond

Ruben A. Silva , June 21, 2007; 08:37 P.M.

Hello Friend!

Well here it is another year is passing away and we are coming into the holidays. I think time starts to go faster as we get older, it was just yesterday I wished my friends Happy Holidays and here it is again the end of a year. The holiday lights are starting to be put on some of the trees here in Dallas, we were out last night and some were lighting the trees. I wish for you all a holiday season with family and friends, after all is said and done all we have is each other.

I want all of you to know just what your comments and ratings on my work means to me, your words are my motivation, my drive to discover, to learn this art that we all love, thank you for taking time and thank you for caring about my works. At the same time thank you for letting us see your world, our lives are so much the same, we all care about our families and friends and we all share the same things, maybe someday our photos will help make for a lasting world peace. May you and your family be blessed this season.

Happy Holidays and Happy Shooting

Ken
