Messages written on Stone

 "Confessional for healing of family problems"
Which thankfully I did not need.

"Frenchy & Big Booty"
Placed on this rock was a note under two rocks that I left untouched....still curious.

"Unknown - Untranslated"

 I'm a lover of the all the little things & moments in life.
Fascinated by these messages that seem insignificant 
unless of course they are meant for you.

Weigh-in: What do you see?

(1996)
The first photograph I ever printed (left)  -  actual image from the negative I was attempting to print (right)
 All the film I hand processed was over-developed & bullet proof.
All the prints I made that day (an entire box) were under-exposed & riddled with dust - 
a Mess!
 I left the darkroom feeling totally dejected.  

In the elevator, I look down at my pile of reject prints.
There I see my dad in rays of light standing next to Tom.

(Close-Up)
Just to be clear, I know there are technical answers to explain this image.
It's likely a double exposure from the enlarger or the easel moving while exposing.
(my inexperience at the time is a huge factor)

What I see is 2 male figures:
(1st) Does not have facial hair & hairline differs from Toms
(2nd) Looks like Tom - with long beard
My Father
Compare face / hairline to figure on left  
(height 5'11'')

Tom
different frame than above - sharper negative 
(height 6'2'')

 Python Snakes in 
Washington Square Park, NYC - 1998

Last shot is out of focus because I was so freaked out and ready to bolt
after his hissing & lunge.
Needless to say snakes and I do not mix and by his 
reaction I assume the feeling was mutual.

Beautiful Gray Sky


                       ©2011 Jackelynn S. Quiroga-Robles


Sky in Jersey City just before this weekends rainfall.
I found the view mesmerizing...an ominous atmosphere
with these delicate little pockets of soft light piercing through.

For me it was like a visual metaphor for cleansing & hope
ready to drown out the dark.

Spooky Image Shot Under an Overpass

©Jackelynn S. Quiroga-Robles
"God Loves #02" - 2006
Under an overpass in Hoboken/Jersey City area.

 I spent at least 20 min. shooting & circling the area
and although it felt eerie...I dismissed the feeling.  
Heebie jeebies come with photographing abandoned desolate areas.
It wasn't until I developed my film that I realized
that someone had been lying under all those blankets...watching me.
