This is an eye peeking through its capirote, a cone-shaped hat used during the Easter procession in Zaragoza, Spain.
It seemed appropriate to me to start the year 2015 by changing my gravatar to this photo, because this year I hope to become more serious with my photography and also because it was taken in 2012 at the start of my photographic expat travels.
I will obviously go on with posting here and probably add some backstory and experiences while trying this.
Thanks for all the feedback, support and enthousiasm the last couple of years, hope that will continue…

haunting image…
Incredibly good image!!!!
Wonderful image.
so striking!
Super cool image Ron! Thank you for sharing your amazing works! 🙂
Super cool!
Ron – I’ve been following your blog for a while, and have been impressed over and over by your work. My best wishes to you this year and I look forward to seeing what new things you’ll do.
a fabulous shot!!!
An idea that occurs to me: I wonder how well it would work if you made the skin blue to match the fabric and left the pupil as it is. Then with the fold in the cloth, it might almost look like the eye of an elephant (though definitely not at the same time).
I love the detail and texture in this shot!
It’s hard for me to think you may need to get more serious with your photography because I’ve seen of your work indicates that you have always been very focused in what you’re doing. If this is how you are when not being serious enough, then I can hardly wait to see what gems you’re going to produce in the coming year.
I wish for 2015 to be for you whatever you want it to be. Is this your eye, Ron?
I’m glad to hear you will continue to post as I do love your work. Good Luck as you work towards your goal!
Wish you well in the new year.
super image, wishing you a eye catching 2015.

Haunting image. Striking. I wish you success and great new ideas in 2015 … V.
Good luck in 2015 for you!
With a super shot like this you can not get better into the new year – it is in all its simplicity a stunning picture !!!
I well remember this eye. Good luck with your new venture Ron. I shall follow your progress with interest.
Reblogged this on S.O.U.L. S-P-A-C-E and commented:
I love your new gravatar!
What a stunner. Happy shooting and good luck in 2015, Ron.
Magnífico detalle de Zaragoza 🙂
Great shot – and good luck with getting ‘serious’!
Superb shot, Ron! Have a great year!
Thank you very much, Richard, hope your start to 2015 was great and much more to come for you as well!
Enjoy your weekend,
Ron
This is such an eerie picture…

looking forward to see more good stuff from you.

Hello Ken,
Happy new year to you too, nice to have found your photos from my new homecountry 😉
Enjoy your weekend,
Ron
Hello Ron,
Thank you.
Have you decided to extend your photographic passion into a business venture?
Have a good weekend.
Ken
I remember those photos and this is a great choice for an avatar. Good luck with your photography. I think you have a great body of work to start with!
Thanks for the compliment, means a lot really, Nila! Great to hear you remember these as well 😉
Have a great weekend,
Ron
Wow… fascinating shot. I could almost touch the lashes. Happy New Year’s to you, too, my friend. If we improve with each year, I can’t wait to see what you do next.
Thanks a lot, Noelle, luckily this eye was pretty far away, cuz you never know how they feel about photographing their religious outings 😉
Very happy, healthy and creative 2015 to you too!
Always looking for ways to get better, more good photos or better good photos, there´´s room enough, I think!
Enjoy your weekend, Ron
If we were already at the top of our game we would grow bored and life lackluster. Bless our room to grow. It keeps life deliciously interesting.
What does become more serious mean?
Hi Elisa, trying to set up a more official website, social medias and adding the option of selling them in some sort of way too 😉
oh, commercial! Serious, to me, is study, technique, ripping apart and putting together of elements. Interesting the perceptions and uses of words and language.
oh, sorry, guess it was not very clear here; I mentioned starteing a business in my last post, that´´s why I forgot to add that. And your idea is way more interesting and is an on-going process for me, I hope 😉
Nooooooooo don’t be sorry at all!
Well, I wasnt crying, just being polite 😉
Great image, great start to 2014. Looking forward to seeing many more of your images in the months to come. Even though I’m a snap-shot-ist rather than a photographer, I find your work hugely inspirational. Thank you
Hi Margaret, thank you so much, but its 2015 already 😉
Thats very flattering of you to say; I guess I only post my best shots here and youre telling a story with each post with more illustrative photos!
Have a great weekend, greetings, Ron
Oh, I remember that series of images, they were wonderful and I think this one will be a really good avatar.
Hi Ashley, thats so great to hear you remembered, thanks a lot!
Hope all is well!
Greetz, Ron
It’s a good sign when one’s work is remembered, eh? Perhaps you could repost that whole series, I’m sure there will be people who haven’t yet seen it who would like too. All’s well with me, thank you. 🙂
Yep, very big compliment, will have a look at them and see what i think now and which ones i think are the best, thanks so much, great to hear youre fine, greetings, Ron.
Excellent shot and a great way to start 2015.
Gracias, Cardinal, its an oldie, but seemed appropriate as a kick-off 😉
Greetings, Ron.
Is the (your) eye looking out or in?……
(Perhaps, we look out to see in)
Hi Stephen, its looking out to see into me 😉
