Photography

Hi people, today I am going to talk about photography.

I think the photography is a very special topic, because the photography is an art, and always are reason to talk about art.

I am a little geek with photography, especially analog photography; I have read a lot books about this topic, my favorite photography book name is “Camara Lúcida” by Ronald Barthes. In this book, the author talks about his interpretation of this art, even he compare the photography with the theatre in the way of take a scene in a determinate moment. In this text also he relate the photography with dead, he said every photography shoot is similar to a gun shoot, with this he said that every time, when someone take a picture of you, a little part of you stay in this picture, the camera take you part of your life. I totally recommend you this book.


My favorite photographer name is Sergio Larrain, he is a Chilean 60’s photographer and his pictures are about the people and their interaction with the city. I said Larrain is the most famous Chilean photographer in the world, his work has been shown even in the MoMA.


Here is an example of his book called “Valparaíso”, the most important of his career.

A country I'd like to visit is Cuba.

Since when I was a child my dream is know this country that is located in an island in middle of The Caribbean Sea. I like the tropical weather, more with the beautiful cuban beaches, like Varadero, El Cayo, Baracoa, etc.  I would like visit Cuba because the people is so different to chileans, they are happy, friendly, polite, and more. Another reason is their history, I would like to learn all about their past from the cuban eyes, because nothing is as taught in books. If I decide traveling to this country, I would like to do backpacking, because this way I would know inside de towns, not only tourist attractions. I want to know the cuban's lifestyles throughout the country. Last year a friend do this and she met Silvio Rodriguez and also she host in his house!! I know that the probability to this happens is almost cero, but you never know.  I want to know Cuba before the McDonalds arrive in the cities.

The Simpsons

The Simpsons is a television show about a family in United States. This series has four principal characters who represent a typical American middle class family: Marge like a housewife, Homer like a worker man, a peon, Bart like a bad kid and Lisa like an intelligent and misunderstood girl. I don’t really see this series so much so is very difficult to me talk about it, I remember years ago I saw it when I waited to stars another television show called Malcolm in the Middle in mornings on Canal 13 channel. The only episode that I remember was when The Simpsons go to Japan, in the travel they live funny anecdotes, for example in the plane when the stewardess tells to Bart turn off his video game, the plane stars to fall, after that she desperately asks him to turn on it. Another funny scenes is when in the hotel the kids turn on the television and the show causes seizures to the whole family. I think The Simpsons is a series for procrastination moments, a...
