Great Openning New Site Alicea's Photo Gallery

Spanish Version

You are invited to the great opening of the new and re-designed Alicea’s Photo Gallery website.
Our third website generation is a whopping 8,000 images and 48 pages. For a brand-new launch, we’re in unprecedented territory. And while it’s taken a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get it here, the look, feel and digital image content of the website are exactly what we had originally intended.
Alicea’sPhotos.com was just a glimmer in her parents’ eyes at this time last year. It’s amazing how much it’s grown in a little under a year. At “El Encanto de mi Isla” exhibition in September, I couldn’t believe the response we were getting—people just loved the website! We had one of the busiest show room at the gallery, with people clamoring to get copies of our photography work and registering to have access to our site. I felt like a proud papa who couldn’t be happier about where Alicea’s Photo Gallery is headed.

The future is bright for all of us, with improvements already implemented to the website like;

• accurate, robust and faster image search engine that allow you to find images by keywords, categories, resolution, color or B&W, orientation, license type and more,
• More than 5,000 new images and monthly addition of 200 -500 photos
• Light box capability from where you can share your selections with friend and clients
• Friendly navigation and simple layout
• Shopping cart
• Real-time price calculator
• Immediately download access to your purchased images
• Fine Art Photography Store
• Shareware Alicea’s screensavers
• Digital photography Tips

LA mina waterfall and El convento Beach Photo tour

Last Saturday ( 11/17/2006) a friend of mine and I when to a photo trip to the El Yunque Rain Forest and to the Fajardo's beaches.
Around 7:00 am we meet at the Canovanas Outlet mall and from there we drove directly to the La Mina, one of the waterfall located at the Yunque. We get there around 8:20 am, we walk down to the place and there were nobody.

We took some pictures ( see some of them here ) and then we run to the Convento and Colorá beaches, located at Fajardo city between Luquillo and Seven seas.

Was a nice trip and a very good day.

Cock Fights - Peleas de Gallos

Two days ago ( 10/20/07) I was participating at the first "Pasadia Familiar de Canovanillas", this is a familiar party held annually at Canovanillas area in Carolina, Puerto Rico. As part of the agenda they exhibited severals cock fights (using gloove to protect the animals) and I had the oportunity to shoot some pictures. This is something that may disappear soon do to legislation to do not allow this type of sport at the island. Enjoy them...

Photo Expo

Since August 24 until Octuber 13, 2007 Casa Escuté Gallery in Carolina Puerto Rico will exhibit "El Encanto de Mi Isla".
Photographic collection of recognized Puerto Rican photographer Salvador Alicea who brings a set to us of fine art photography in which he stands out the beauty of our flora and what we could call the Puerto Rican tipología. Both subjects are complemented like wanting to affirm to the subject, not like unconnected, rather, like integral part of the nature. There is a clear preoccupation by environmental and the urgency of its defense, before a modern world more and more alienated of that necessity. A world, that is far away of that necessary and essential symbiosis for the own human survival. This exhibition will be exhibited in the Main Room of the Escuté House as of Friday 24 of August until the 13 of October of 2007 and comprises of the Festival the International of the Jazz Latino 2007.
