Question/comment from Mr. E.
Martinez: I
have a comment about the flower of the Maga
tree. What you
pictured is the flower of the amapola or pabón (as we called
it in Utuado)
Answer: Thanks for your
time, well, the Maga flower is the one you will see in carnivals,
parades and other events around Puerto Rico thus known as the
National Flower. This is among many things namely differently
depending on the geographical areas around Puerto Rico. The photos
you see below is what is know as Amapolas in the central
mountain side of the Island; We have received comments from visitors
that this is neither Maga or Amapola but Hibiscus, see our point?
Many things from our daily life have different names depending on the
areas, especially the West side starting in Arecibo down to Hormigüeros.
What in other areas is known as ''Ollas''
they are ''Calderos''. You ask for a ''Caldero'' in
Arecibo and they give you an ''Olla'' and viceversa. What for
you and me is ''Sofrito'' on the West side is known as ''Molido''.
Other words will be posted here soon so stick around.
Ahh!, After interacting with so
many people on the West area, you'll notice a different accent as
well. What you and me can express in a situation ''Ea
rayos!, or Anda
pal cará'!''
they do express it as ''Valgame!
or Baa! You ask in Mayagüez
for an ''Empanadilla'' and they'll give you a ''Pastelillo'',
ask for a Pastelillo and they'll give you ''Empanadilla''.
3 sided bananas known in some towns as
Rompe C#$%os,
they are ''Piches'' in Arecibo but ''Tres Filos'' in
Las Marias, Oh God! My ice tray are ''cubetas de hielo'', in
Arecibo and Las Marias are ''Cuajaderas''. We want to those
saborosos ''Guanimes'' con bacalao but in Mayagüez they
don't call them that way. You have to ask for ''Mapiros'' con bacalao....

Question: Todas
las fotos estan preciosas pero nunca han puesto la playa de Luquillo
¿Por qué? Doctor Luis Sanchez
Answer: Gracias por
escribir Luis, somos fotógrafos pero más que nada
viajeros en esta bella isla. Aunque en varias ocasiones hemos estado
en el área de Luquillo, las condiciones del tiempo no estan a
nuestro favor. Usualmente esta brumoso. La mejor temporada para
fotógrafiar playas en Puerto Rico es entre Enero a Mayo cuando
el aire esta más seco y por ende cielos azules.

Question: What kind of
cameras are used to take such wonderful pictures?
Answer: This question is
constantly asked, truth is that any camera may capture beautiful
images. But a camera is just a camera, what it takes depends on the
one behind it. Good and expensive professional cameras are merely
tools. They will take beautiful pictures but also can take bad ones.
No need to have the most expensive one for great pictures as we've
seen great images with regular consumer cameras (like the one you
might have).
For the most part, including the
site editors and webmaster, all are using Nikon
Proffesional cameras. Digitals and film based depending on the
situations, some situations still demand 35mm
film preferable slide film.

requests, we have posted a more
