Una muerte anunciada
Los derrames de petróleo pueden cubrir la piel de los peces y matarlos. El petróleo también introduce toxinas que pueden causar enfermedades, defectos de nacimiento y la muerte de los peces. La basura, especialmente la de plástico, causa muchas muertes de peces. Los plásticos toman cientos de años en biodegradarse y, por lo tanto, permanecen en el agua durante mucho tiempo.
Los peces pueden confundir el plástico con fuentes de alimentos y comerlos. Cuando se ingiere, el plástico puede causar un bloqueo en el sistema digestivo de los peces y matarlos. Los peces y otras especies marinas a menudo quedan atrapados en los artículos de plástico. Estos se atascan alrededor de la boca, por lo cual no pueden comer, haciendo que se mueran de hambre. Los artículos de plástico pueden atorarse en el cuello de los animales marinos y hacer que se atraganten lentamente hasta la muerte. Las bolsas de plástico en el agua se parecen a las medusas. Los peces tratan de comer la bolsa y quedan atrapados dentro de ellas y mueren. El plástico no es la única fuente de basura hecha por el hombre que daña a la vida silvestre. Los metales, las cuerdas, las redes y la espuma de poliestireno son, entre otros, artículos de basura que dañan la vida marina.
Hice la foto a un pez muerto pero, por desgracia, ese día vi mas muertes en el mar.
Recuerdos de una barbería
Leo por ahí que los barberos, llamados entonces esquiladores, fueron llevados de Sicilia a Roma por un tal P. Ticinio Menas, el año 451 de la fundación de la ciudad. La moda, desde mucho tiempo generalizada en Grecia de llevar los cabellos cortos y la barba rasa, se propagó rápidamente gracias con especialidad a Escipión, el segundo Africano, que se afeitaba todos los días. Los esquiladores comenzaron por ejercer su industria al aire libre, pero más tarde este uso subsistió solamente para la plebe y los esclavos y las tiendas de los barberos anunciadas por una presentación de navajas, de cuchillitos y de espejos llegaron a ser puntos de reuniones para los ociosos y para los noticieros. Uno de los principales méritos del dueño del establecimiento era saber responder a todas las preguntas que se le dirigían y los barberos suministraban imitando a los autores y actores cómicos o satíricos, el tipo de la curiosidad y de la murmuración.
Una forma rudimentaria de crema de afeitar se documentó en Sumeria alrededor del 3000 A.C. Esta sustancia era una mezcla de álcali de maderas y grasa animal, la cual se aplicaba a la barba como una preparación para el afeitado.
La crema de afeitar como la conocemos hoy en día empezó a fabricarse hace más de 200 años por las barberías más exclusivas de Londres como Truefitt & Hill, Geo.F. Trumper y Taylor of Old Bond Street. Truefitt & Hill ha producido crema de afeitar al menos desde 1805, año de su fundación. La crema de afeitar ofreció en ese entonces una alternativa al tradicional jabón de afeitar.
El escaparate era de una droguería de toda la vida, de las que siguen haciendo en sus matraces y almireces productos por encargo. El interior reflejaba exactamente lo que se veía en el anuncio.
Edificio Capitol
El edificio se constituye en el icono reconocible de todo un siglo de arquitectura española. Comentado su parecido con el edificio Flatiron de Nueva York. El edificio logró ser el emblema del Madrid moderno y su imagen aerodinámica inspiró a otros arquitectos en capitales españolas. El anuncio luminoso de neón de la marca Schweppes situado en las plantas superiores es uno de los símbolos de la Gran Vía y de la ciudad y ha aparecido en numerosas películas españolas, una de las apariciones más famosas El día de la Bestia, dirigida por Álex de la Iglesia. En lo alto del edificio hay un cartel de Vodafone. En la parte baja están los Cines Capitol. Al lado de los Cines Capitol está el hotel Carrión.
El neón de la marca Schweppes, por la noche tiene un ciclo que empieza encendiéndose poco a poco la marca Schweppes de color azul y después de color amarillo. Cuando acaba esta parte se empiezan encender el neón de colores de derecha a izquierda y se apaga de izquierda a derecha dos veces los dos pasos. Más tarde, se enciende el neón de fuera hacia dentro y se apaga de dentro hacia fuera tres veces los dos pasos. Después color a color del neón van encendiéndose y apagándose (uno sí, otro no) 5 veces cada color. Y el ciclo acaba encendiéndose todo el neón y la marca Schweppes de color amarillo parpadea 3 veces y vuelve a empezar.
En diciembre la Gran vía, entre un despliegue de luces navideñas que enmarcaban perfectamente el letrero, aproveché la luz verde para el paso de peatones y así poder realizar la foto.
Seda en la red
Leo por ahí que la estudiante de bachillerato Judith Miles (Lexington, Massachusetts, Estados Unidos) propuso en el concurso NASA Skylab Student Experiment Competition para estudiantes enviar arañas al espacio para estudiar cómo se habitúan a las condiciones de microgravedad y cómo fabrican sus telarañas. La propuesta le valió el premio que supuso que su experimento fuese validado por la NASA para enviar dos arañas Araneus diadematus (Arabella y Anita) junto con los tres tripulantes de la nave Apollo, rumbo a la estación Skylab, el 28 de julio de 1973.
Las arañas al principio mostraron graves síntomas de desorientación, causada por la ausencia de gravedad, formando telarañas de forma totalmente aleatoria. Al cabo de unos días las arañas comenzaron a desarrollar estructuras con mayor simetría, semejantes a las que tejen en tierra. Sin embargo, análisis estadísticos de los ángulos entre las sedas radiales y las estructuras finales generadas demostraron que la ausencia de gravedad tenía efectos sobre las características de las telarañas. Actualmente, en la estación espacial internacional (ISS) hay dos arañas sueltas que se escaparon de una caja de experimentos.
Todas las mañanas, cuando me levantaba en el campo, en el quicio de la puerta había una telaraña que la luz de la mañana perseguía hasta conseguir todo su esplendor. Un día me levanté mas temprano. Quería fotografiar las gotitas del amanecer sobre la seda. Pero ya no estaba.
El bosque de piedra
El proyecto original fue encargado a Francesc de Paula Villar, pero abandonó el mismo tras problemas con el Ayuntamiento. Fue entonces cuando recayó en Gaudí. Su construcción comenzó el 19 de marzo de 1882. Está prevista que esté finalizada en el año 2026. Gaudí preveía que no terminaría el proyecto. Pasó sus últimos 15 años de vida viviendo en el interior de la Iglesia mientras trabajaba en ella y dejó planos, indicaciones y bocetos para que fuese terminada posteriormente. La Fachada del Nacimiento fue la única parte finalizada mientras Gaudí aún seguía con vida. Cuando las obras terminen tendrá una altura de 172,5 metros de altura, convirtiéndose así en el edificio más alto de Barcelona. Las 18 torres de la Sagrada Familia simbolizan a diferentes figuras de la religión cristiana: 12 de ellas, las colocadas a la altura más baja, representan a los Apóstoles, las 4 posteriores a los evangelistas, la siguiente a la Virgen María y la más alta de todas a Jesucristo. En la denominada Fachada de la Pasión, hay una especie de sudoku cuyos números en todas las filas, columnas y cuadrados suman siempre 33. La edad a la que murió Jesucristo. En el interior de la Iglesia no hay nada diseñado con líneas rectas para imitar a la naturaleza. Las columnas que se pueden encontrar dentro pretenden emular la forma de los árboles que se alzan desde el suelo hasta el techo. Para el interior de la Sagrada Familia Gaudí se había inspirado en las formas de la naturaleza, creando columnas con forma de tronco de árbol. Parecía un gran bosque de piedra.
Me senté en un banco de madera, aplastado por la inmensa maravilla que me rodeaba. El techo, expectacular. Aunque había mucha gente, éramos tan insignificantes al lado de las bellísimas columnas que parecía vacío el lugar. Hice todas las fotos del mundo. Todas.
3.094 kilómetros
París, Estrasburgo, Karlsruhe, Stuttgart, Ulm, Múnich, Viena, Budapest, Bucarest, Varna… 80 horas para 3.094 kilómetros, los de un tren mítico, el Orient Express, cuyo primer servicio fue despedido de París con los acordes de la Marcha Turca de Mozart, finalizando el viaje en el lado europeo de Estambul, en concreto en la zona de Eminönü, en un edificio singular: la Estación de Sirkecl,
La foto la hice en un descanso del rodaje del anuncio chanel nº 5 que estaba realizando Jean-Pierre Jeunet con su actriz favorita, Audrey Tatou.
En el descanso del rodaje me colé sin que a nadie le llamara la atención. De hecho, de lejos me hacían gestos para me acercara a la zona del catering. Por lo visto me creían uno de los suyos..
La postura de uno de los miembros del equipo sentado, mirando como se alejaba un tren, me atrajo poderosamente la atención.
Marx, Engels...quietos, un momento!
Entre el río Spree y Alexanderplazt se encuentra el parque Max-Engels.Forum. Una escultura de bronce representan a los autores del Manifiesto Comunista. Algunos berlineses lo ven como una reliquia no deseada de un régimen extinto, y defienden que se eliminen las estatuas y se renombre el parque. Otros consideran que el lugar tiene un significado tanto histórica como artístico, y debe ser preservado. Esta última postura es la que ha prevalecido.
Atravesé el parque en busca de la cervecería mas antigua de Berlin que, según los lugareños, estaba por la zona. La postura de ambos era de auténtica pose fotográfica. Parecía que se habían colocado ante mi cámara.
Soy libre!
En España cuando adquieres un móvil bloqueado sólo puedes utilizarlo con tarjetas SIM de ese operador. España es un caso especial. En algunos países, como en Bélgica y Finlandia, el bloqueo de teléfonos por parte de los operadores no está permitido porque se considera una práctica contraria a la libre competencia.
En aquel mercadillo sucio y abigarrado llamaba la atención el contenido del cartel luminoso. Me acerqué al puesto de lona que lo sujetaba y solo había una esterilla en el suelo con restos de manillas, grifos, bisagras, lámparas sesentonas, pero nada que indicara la actividad del anuncio. En ese momento nadie atendía el puesto.
Intenté introducir en el mismo encuadre el cartel y la esterilla pero no fue posible. La máquina la llevaba montada con un 50 mm. Ni con la focal mas corta del iphone.
Montmartre, un barrio de artistas?
A finales del siglo XIX en el barrio de Montmartre se instalaron burdeles y cabarets que propiciaron la mala fama del lugar. Sin embargo, muchos artistas se establecieron en el barrio, algunos de ellos trasladándose desde Montparnasse, reconvirtiéndolo en un lugar de bohemia y encanto.
Cuando visité el barrio no era lo que yo esperaba, aunque ya había sido advertido. Las calles estaban a tope de turistas que borraban el encanto de otra época. En la placíta vi a muy pocos artistas pintar, alguno realizando retratos a orientales. Otros pintores estaban detrás de sus obras con cara de aburrimiento, como si de un zoo se tratara. Era una galería de venta de cuadros al aire libre. Curiosamente había obras del mismo autor repetidas en diferentes puestos.
Desde la calle observé la imagen de un pintor tomando un café en el interior de un bar vacío. El aspecto del artista así como la decoración del local me trasladaron a la esencia del barrio, a la bohemia de antaño. Hice la foto rápidamente, antes de que un grupo de turistas siguiendo a un paraguas me atropellara.
Colegas hasta en el infierno
Según datos publicados y recogidos por Testamenta, más del 59% de las personas mayores se han sentido solas en algún momento y han percibido aislamiento. Esto afecta en España a más de 925.000 personas.
La "conversación" entre Charles y el señor X criticando al grupito de enfrente no tenía desperdicio gráfico. Hice la foto discretamente para no interrumpirlos.
Carburo de titanio en acción
Discos de sierras circulares para cortar metales se diseñan con configuraciones distintas para acero, acero inoxidable, aluminio, acero delgado e incluso montantes de acero. Las importantes diferencias entre las configuraciones de las hojas permiten usarlas en aplicaciones especiales - el número de dientes en la hoja, el grado del carburo y la forma de los dientes.
En un bajo comercial de la plaza de Pontejos de Madrid estaban con una pequeña reforma. El resplandor de fuegos artificiales y el grito agudo de una radial me llamó la atención. El operario parecía fabricar con sus manos una bengala gigante de cumpleaños. Sólo pude hacer una foto antes de que otro operario me llamara la atención con cara de muy pocos amigos. Me había saltado la cinta que rodeaba la obra.
El maniquí está triste
Del holandés manneken, que significa 'hombre pequeño, la RAE lo define como un armazón en forma de cuerpo humano que se usa para probar, arreglar o exhibir prendas de ropa Se trata de una figura movible que puede ser colocada en diversas actitudes...Así de frío.
En una outlet de un conocido centro comercial había una gran caja con restos de maniquíes de cartón. Estaban en venta por 35 euros la unidad,
Entre el lío de brazos y piernas arrancados aquel rostro de cartón me atrapó inmediatamente. Era un cartón con vida. Parecía que estaba triste por su final.
Dos días después quise comprarlo pero ya lo habían vendido.
A fair without globes?
The first globes were of animal bladder. They say that the inventor of the modern globe was Michael Faraday in the century XiX, though the production and massive use of the globe we it can centre in the thirties, different materials being used in his production.
In the Betanzos's most beautiful locality the spring fair was celebrated, one of the important mas of the year. The positions of products of the land under the porches, the street market of antiquities, the positions of clothes were filling the center of the locality. Opposite to the shed of the light doughnut rings a saleswoman of globes was settling herself, subject to two gas cylinder. It was doing authentic decorations in order that they were not squashing them, such age the quantity that had around it and to level of the soil. There was called me the attention the effect of the cords of the globes. It seemed that the saleswoman was radiating them. I could not refuse and bought him one in the shape of motorcycle, Was the envy of many children. Still I preserve it. Deflated.
Flight of the comet
For light or medium intensity winds (6-15 mph) in choosing the form of Delta, Diamond or Dragon. If the wind is stronger (8-25 mph), the box-type, made with paper impregnated with paraffin, are easy to keep in the air. If soil leaves move gently, the wind is perfect. For more fun more space.
The softness and elegance with the guy who ran his kite threads kept me sitting on that rock, rapt, until nightfall. I made three pictures with the promise to send to your mail.
Ángelo iphotographs Ángelo
Hiromi was slipping past in the ears sent by Spotify. No neighbor rose in the elevator to speak about the time, in this case of the evil time. It had to do something...
Lessons of bat
In a backward newspaper that the Spanish baseball did history on having obtained his classification for the third edition of the Classic World one after gaining, in 10 income, 9-7 to Israel in the final of the first group of eliminating. Spain will play for the first time in the Classic World one of Baseball, which in his third edition, will be disputed in three headquarters of The United States (Phoenix, Miami and San Francisco) from next March. It refers a year 2012. In that park the lads were not winking before the explanations of the batter.
Scrapping slave
I read a comment in a newspaper on the illegal scrapping of a ship cargo-boat, where own methods of the slavery are in use. It causes, besides a human drama, an environmental catastrophe: of every ship they throw themselves to the sea up to approximately 40.000 liters of oil, which fill of chapapote the beaches of the Asian countries where it is realized. The workers of the photo, with very precarious means, were lacking equipments of safety to get rid adequately of the toxic materials that guard the big noses in disuse. The smoke and the powder that those workers were breathing was unbearable.
What I did bad?
Unfortunately in Spain the abandon is a too habitual practice with more than 200.000 dogs a year. It surprises to know that this action is unjustified: normally they are dogs of all the ages, healthy and affectionate. Once fulfilled the caprice for the child or for the major one, happens to hinder.
Reality projected
In a tourist guide I read " ... we go course to the Major Plaza. Cogeremos the Major street, then we will take the street Relays (saturated of shops of souvernirs) that ends in the Major Plaza we will meet numerous tiendecitas... " One year ago, in a similar tour, I observed the shout written and hung on that shop window. Some months later, I walk of Closed Door, I happened for this street and that sign they had replaced it for " low this one is rented. 70 square meters Telephone 91... "
Does size matter?
I do not want to enter the discursión. I limit myself to publishing the photo that I did in the Royal street.
Do you like Quasimodo?
In December of last year the celebration of 850 began anniversary of Notre Dame. They gave him a new organ and a lighting of the front that was the local envy. Opposite to the front they mounted a few steps in order that we could admire coolly it handsome that had put it. To the late afternoon always there is an action of street artists in the esplanade of the principal door. The natural light of the dusk, combined with the flares, insurance that Quasimodo's delights did. And the mias.
Bob Marley dries very well
In Guide of the Galactic Hitch-hiker, his author Douglas Adams promises that the towel is the thing mas useful that a galactic hitch-hiker can take. It is not important if it is of plush, curled or spongy, square or round. The ladies of the street market, who for his age might be mothers of Bob, seemed to value the surface and the capacity of absorption of the towel. The curl seemed to be good. It was not importing the face of the gentleman with crusty braids.
Battery B9
Placed in Suevos, it was composed by cannons Vickers 152,4/50 mm made of England. As curiosity: Scope: 21,600 m. Speed: 915 m/seg Weight of the missile: 45 kg apr. Cadence: 4 shots / minute I Weigh of the pipe: 8738 kg. Length of the pipe: 7,86 m. The course of the time took charge that the man and the damned machine of war were sharing the same setting. I doubted not even a moment. Probably it was photographing two old men comrades who were looking at the sea, remembering what they had to forget. Or better not to forget in order that the madness of the men does not repeat itself.
Warm alert
That July was the warm mas from 1920, according to the record beaten by the Meteorological Observatory of the Retirement. In the center of Madrid, at two o'clock in the morning, the temperature was reaching 30 degrees. The lady of the photo was walking along Callao and had very clearly as the heat fought. To scanty meters was following his pair dressed only in a very short trousers, a leather jacket of cow and a hat type Texan. It was wearing a few chirucas of high mountain. I did not find his photo in my chaotic file. It did not have waste.
CASA C-101
The Patrol Eagle uses seven planes HOUSE C-101 of Spanish manufacture. It is a plane biplaza capablly of reaching a speed of 770 km/h and an altitude of 42000 feet (14 km). It was conceived for functions of learning and training. The C-101 are nicknamed "blackbirds" and, more colloquial, "culopollos". To do the photo I raised the last one ironed of a building in construction. 500 mm had given me catadioptrico that to the first shot was dislocated. In some moments the low flight was so near to the chamber that the fillings could see toothworts of the pilots.
It is made know ....!!
Mastication, swallowing, phonetics, communication, breathing... A mouth that lost his functions. Temporarily. I did the photo in Mars' Field, a very popular and valued park.
Garra Rufa
Called fish dermatologist, sucks softly the dead cells of the epidermis. In this process one generates above that has an effect regenerator. The cosmetic treatment is only. This so original pedicurist and hundred for hundred native turned into a round success into many countries. Doctor fish, the girl of the photo was saying to myself indicating the singular physicians. I suppose that they would be hungry to do a good work. There was tail to surrender to the natural peeling.
Els Encants Vells
Is one of the most ancient markets of Europe, from the century fourteen, I believe. We can buy from that piece that there is no way of finding up to towels, sofas, underwear. The most diverse objects that we can imagine will be able to be on this market of Barcelona. In a tumult of pictures escaped of old dining rooms, sheets with eternal spots, it caught the look of an old photography. The heat had detached it of the support. The elevated corner was reinforcing the expression of the eyes of one of the protagonists. I had clear that the photo that I did was not completely a my merit.
Samaín vs Halloween
For the Celts the Samaín is the night that was symbolizing the summer end. Being eve of deceased, it has a meaning by night of meigas, bewitching and Holy Compaña, where toads and owls stand out to his broad ones between spiderwebs, gourds and skulls. In The United States he is called Halloween. We now, influenced by the culture yanki, also call him this way. It is mas modern, they say. I did the photo with the iPhon 5 newly bought in the mall, eve of this holiday. The collaboration of the girl of the stan of makeup was total. Thank you.
Ordinance for the Regulation of Parking
I Read thereabouts that in all the cities observes the existence of a problem of the parking, which is raised in one of the most troubled phenomena. In the central zones of the cities the space to park is limited. The municipal administration states the problematics derived from the parking of long duration, that one that stems from the displacements forced by labor motives, and that renders useless the scanty available space to park during the duration of the labor day. I did the photo in a central street in which there was no a mall or a nearby market. Is observed that they fulfill scrupulously the Ordinance to avoid the corresponding sanction or the action of the derrick.
Chaos got out of control
Chaos got out of control In the year 1981 the American president Ronald Reagan decided to dismiss 11.000 controllers after a massive strike that he declared illegal. They are a few pirates, I believe that it shouted the affected Americans. In this case the photo I did it to him to the shop window of a travel agency in December, 2010, days before the bridge of the Constitution. Premonition or abandon of the shop window?
Hands arrive, this is a robbery!
Next September 1 the government armed with pistols loaded with VAT dum dum to produce mas hurt if it fits in the contributor, will go out to the street and to full daylight, with serious, visibly affected tone, with long face and even with the hesitating voice, will proceed to hold us up.
Mime
Some experts indicate that the Greek caresses were coming in the main from Sicily. They say that Sofrón of Syracuse is the initiator. It is necessary to wait up to the 15th century in Italy, with the Comedy dell'arte to see to re-arise from the caress. In France Ettien Decroux, considered the father of the modern caress, writes the history and evolution of the caress to the present day. Decroux devoted himself to the investigation of the movement and to the rediscovery of the Caress, formulated theories and taught to other caresses as Marcel Marceau, Jean Louis Barrault and Frederik Vanmelle. The caress of the photo was doing his work in the Royal Street and was really irritated for it her fights that it was taking place to his side. It was a cartel very noisy and bad-mannered announcer.
Good morning!
Chemistry of the water: hardness, pH, density and other measures, cycle of the nitrogen, oxygen, anhídrico carbonic, organic matter, trace elements. I equip of lighting: systems of filtration and ozonización, substratum, aeration, heating... All that is necessary to prepare a housing acuarium. The marine species destined to occupy them, proceeding from different parts of the world, are spoilt, are capricious and conceited. They demand that his housing has to be located in a natural and spectacular environment. An ocean, for example. Accustomed to the curiosity that they wake up, these two marine species did not turn pale when I did the photo. They me were resembling two neighbors of the fishermen's neighborhood.
They are some exaggerated
In February, 2008, Reuters informed that the inflation had risen to historical levels all over the world. In the middle of 2008, the information of the IMF was indicating that the inflation was situated in maximums in the exporting countries of oil, due to the increase of the reservations of foreign currencies. But also in many underdeveloped countries. The inflation also was increasing in the developed countries, though not so much in comparison. For 2009 the problem was the inverse one: the economic panorama was pointing at the deflation, which, for example, led the FED to placing the interest rate in practically 0 %. In 2011 the International Organization of the Work indicated that a historical maximum was reached of unemployed, with 205 millions in the whole world. We complain about vice.
Patricia
Four hair rubitos badly distributed in a cabecíta of an añíto. A very intimate image to come out in photographs. And this way I did it so often since I could. But one day, when I took this photo, me one came the time above, That rubita with four hair was the whole woman. A beautiful woman. But for me always it will be the rubita. We cannot do that the time is given birth.
The summer solstice
Bonfires are ignited to give mas force to the Sun. From these days it is done mas weakly. It is celebrated in many Europa's points, though it is specially established in Spain, Portugal (Fogueiras de São João), Norway (Jonsok), Denmark (Sankthans), Sweden (Midsommar), Finland (Juhannus), Estonia (Jaanipäev) and United Kingdom (Midsummer). In South America, Brazil has Festas Juninas, in Paraguay, Bolivia, Chile, Peru and Venezuela the night of San Juan. The night of San Juan is, likewise, related to the most former traditions and Spanish legends as the Legend of the Delighted one. A town hall had summoned a contest of cartels for his holidays. The topic was the festivity of San Juan. I sent that of the photo. Not he punishes not even glory.
Already are we in First?
It seems that it is the question that the child does to his father. It wanted to take the flag of the Depor, but the wind and the embergadura of the fabric, like candle of ship, threw for the soil the illusions of the lad. Do not be the one who was mas child: the father or the son.
Coffee Viennese Jazz Club
I Read, do not be where, that the Coffee Viennese had been rehabilitated, recovering his maximum brilliance as historical place of intellectual gatherings, which had assembled to figures as representative as the poet Salvador Espriu. Today his character and his spirit preserves as point of meeting of the guests of the hotel, of artists, intellectual and citizens of Barcelona that look for a calm and singular place. The jazz invades so singular coffee, You meet suggestive letters: Jazz with dinner Duke Ellington, Session of Jazz with Louis Armstrong You Cover or Session of jazz with item consumed, in this case for 20 Euros. The programming for May and June offers every Thursday actions yazzisticas of thickness calibrate. The cartel invites.
The one who does say that it does not give stick to the water?
It was employed a time at an advising, but the life decided to be gained as public relations and publicist. In addition, he took advantage of his reputation to be the image of a brand of sofas and to do an advertisement of furniture for television. After a few ripples in a known television channel, the press a media personage managed to consider it. So much it was like that, that during July, 2009, the word "paquirrín" multiplied by 10 the searches that Google had obtained in March of the same year. According to the same seeker, in January, 2010, his name was appearing in approximately 94.700 Internet page. The gentleman Rivera did not hesitate to send the recortables of his current girlfriend and of if same to realize an interview. The one that costs, voucher.
San Isidro's holidays.
I read the nostalgia of times those of the verbenas with young concerts in the Vistillas, with the smell to gallinejas, with Major Plaza full of people to the fresh air hearing Status Quo, Baby, Bregovic ... everything what is musical out of the streets, the Town hall does not want Spanish holidays, it is believed that it is Stockholm, in the street only parking meters... When I happen for Madrid I am going to take one canes with a few torreznos to an old bar, in the street Braziers, always I fill of local people, of the whole life. That table was dismissing color and happiness. I asked for permission them to do a photo to them.-Hazla, anyhow you us her were going to do truth? .. wherefrom you are? Four canes with his respective lids of buns of cod, appeared on the table. I paid them very to taste.
May 1
May 1 is the 121st. º of the year in the Gregorian calendar and 122. º in the leap years. It this one well. But let's not forget that it is the International day of the Workers, commemoration of the origin of the labor movement; festive in most of the countries of the world. In the communist nations, it names Day of the International Solidarity of the Workers.
Istambul and Gálata
The first bridge on the river mouth of the Golden horn was constructed in 1845. Several years later, in 1863, the arrival of Napoleon III provoked that it was replaced with a bridge of wood. After this one two more bridges were constructed in 1875 and 1912, and in 1992 there was created the bridge that it is possible to see at present. Beside constituting an important part of Istambul's urban landscape, Gálata's Bridge occupies a great space in the myths and legends and also in the heart of the Turkish citizens. To cross the bridge in a late afternoon, with the sky magenta and the yellow color reflected in the sea is an indelible image. You meet the rails replete fishermen's.
What a lot of time, friend!
The donkeys have 16 chromosomes more than the human beings and are capable of reproducing with animals of species different from his. If the jackass macho crosses with a mare, a mule is born. A jackass female with a horse, is born a buérdago and the cebroides are the result of the matching between zebras and donkeys, But in this case they were looking like two old friends that it was doing time that was not seen. It was what was called me the attention to photograph them. To me and to the walkers who were invading that Cefalú's alley.
Marylin
I was to gathering a few racks of crystal that he had entrusted in the previous days. In the chipped wall, between cuts of crystals, under a dirty radio tuned in M80, me encontre with her, leaned in January. A label about the sidewalk was informing that the glassware was called Venus. It could not be otherwise.
Walking with the humor
Juan Ruiz, the Archpriest of Hita, Cervantes, Shakespeare. Mark Twain, Jardiel Poncela, Mortadelo and Filemón, Charlot, Groucho Marx, Mae West ... they all accompany me in my morning walk along the Plaza of the Humor while Álvaro Cunqueiro y Castelao they rest in his banks of stone. And to do the square mas nice and cozy alguién placed the busts of Vicente Risco, Julio Camba y Wenceslao Fernandez Flórez. Some of them are absent to the appointment but of those who are nobody exceeds.

The spring
This station begins with the spring equinox (between 20 and on March 21 in the north hemisphere, and between 22 and on September 23 in the south hemisphere), and ends with the summer solstice (about June 21 in the north hemisphere and on December 21 in the south hemisphere). In the intertropical zone of the north hemisphere it begins on March 20 or 21 until September 22 or 23. In the intertropical zone of the south hemisphere it goes from September 22 or 23 to March 20 or 21. An outbreak can be the reason of a nice history of love. Springs things.
The palette of the painter
In a letter to his brother Theo in 1882, Vincent Van Gogh wrote: " it is not any more than three fundamental colors - red, yellow and blue, with materials composed like they are the orange, green and purple color. By means of the addition of black and white an infinite variety is obtained of gray - red, yellow, gray grey, blue - grey, green - gray, grey - orange, grey - violet. It is impossible to say, for example, green - gray how many exist, there is a variety without end. But the whole chemistry of the colors is not more complicated than the simplest rules. And to have a clear notion of this gives a value of more than 70 colors different from painting - because with these three principal colors and white and black, there can be done more than 70 tones and varieties ".
Someone painting a craft, a nearby wall and we have a painter's real palette insured.
San Josep's market
They say that it is mas famous that The Liceu. From immemorial times, the peasants - or pagesos - they were in this place to sell his products to the merchants - or botiguers - of the city. His name comes from a portal of access to the medieval fortification, which the king Berenguer IV took to himself as booty of war when it conquered the city dwells of Almeria. His design arabesque was of so dazzling beauty, which before his presence to the people the mentón was falling involuntarily - of there the name of "boquería". The positions, especially those of the fruits, are authentic pictures full of forms and colors. I bought apples, my fruit preferída. Actually I bought a kilo of a beautiful picture.
District of Gracia
It wanted to make night photos of Barcelona one. A friend took me to a mount, former emplacement of military republican batteries in the neighborhood of the Carmelo. To come we had to cross the neighborhood of Grace. My colleague was commenting to myself that Grace was like a people almost in the center of Barcelona. With another pace. The following day I happened the whole day in districte from Grácia. The structure of his streets, of his squares and the environment was confirming it. The name is curious of many of his streets: Freedom, Brotherhood, Equality, Legality, Plaza John Lennon, Plaza of the Revolution. What reflects the character of this district. Also it differed always for being a headquarters of cultural centers of alternative and ultramodern character.
To the late afternoon, after taking a beer in the Plaza of the Diamond, I went down walking. In five minutes it had left the House Milá to my left side. A little time later he was asking for the Sony Nex-7 in Photo Casanova, closely together of the Plaza Cataluña.
The retirement of a piano
It is said that a piano has 88 keys, 220 ropes and when it is tuned to the final touch of concert, the general tension of the ropes is 21 tons. The inventor and culprit of all that was the gentleman Bartolomeo Christofori, as far back as the year 1700. In the pub " The fly vizca ", to the exit of the people of Concarnau, in the French Brittany, the old piano was resting. He had retired for the age. Now he was practising of object of decoration not to get bored, while the clientele was devoting itself without a minimum of remorse to realize the pots of mussels, watered with beer and cider made of the people.
Buick Eight
Engine Company was founded by David Dunbar Buick, immigrant Scot come to the USA when it had of 2 years. It was the financial prop of the General Motors, today the most important car manufacturer of the world. One announced called my attention. He was saying: " the car this one in mint condition I complete disarmament and I turned it to arming to restore to 0km. Everything is original though the gearbox I extracted it but I preserve it packed. I placed a box of torino to give him mas elasticity of march to the engine. The covers are Michelin okm and there is absent only both back absorbers and the ribbing of the box that I it can obtain. I boast 40.000 $ ". It was finishing off the advertisement suggesting the destination for collection.
A model that I like much is of the year 1938, the Buick Y-Job. It was the first concept car - car that is exposed in the lounges of the car to measure the reaction of the public to the new designs and that they can or not to be commercialized. Another very spectacular concept car is the model Blackhawk of the year 2000.
Cadillac of 1950
Ironically, the car that might define the North American style in car design, Ileva a name of pure French vine-stock. Cadillac's name comes from the official of the French army Antoine De La Mothe Cadillac who was founding Detroit in 1701. It is a self-propelling company that used the technological new advances in every epoch in his cars, since for example: the electrical glasses, I remove, and the electrical ignition. East Cadillac possibly is mas big that the apartment that proves to be to us Ikea. I do not exaggerate.
It is a Rolls-Royce
Romantic fantasies and gossips surround the history of the most recognized pet of car of the world. Described by his creator, the sculptor Charles Sykes, as " A small and graceful goddess ". The " Spirit of Ecstasy " of today, rises up to 3 inches and, for safety, is mounted in a mechanism of spring designed for retraerse instantaneously inside the cover of the radiator if it is pushed in any direction. There exists the belief of which the pets become in massive silver. Throughout the years, different metals have never been used, but silver. In the first times, it was used white metals, now they are done in stainless polished brilliant steel of a totally handcrafted way, breaking the molds on having concluded the work, for what there are no two that are exactly equal. East Rolls was as exhibition in the corridors of a mall. A father is making clear to his son that the kings have this car, princes and magnates. It is a sign of distinction in the whole world and that is very expensive. But the lad likes mas the Volvo of the grandfather though it does not have the little angel in the knob.
Photo Artús
When you cross ways of silver and pixels, you need a point of reference to obtain the necessary provisions to cover the above mentioned ways. You look for a supplier that could offer them and, on the other hand, to put to our disposition a series of products that go from a filter up to a great assortment of delicatesen and black photographic legs. In an occasion, speaking with the soul máter Jose Maria, it clarified that any product that we will need us would obtain. But "to "cook" we would have to make it we. Since it is of born well to be agradecídos, I thank them for being for many years, my point of photographic victualling. And especially to Antonio, the stall, which they make Jose Maria feel like in house. With many toys in the showcases. Photo was realized in the first shop, the origin. Between all the shops that they possess this one me turns out to be the evocative mas. With difference.
Radiant flow
The luminous intensity is the quantity of luminous flow that issues a source for unit of solid angle. His unit of measure is the candle. In aerial map-making, there is named a punctual source that one that issues the same luminous intensity in all the considered directions. This candle, for example. To do the photo the lighting was very scanty. She was the model who contributed his own light. Sufficient.
Beautiful, look like a wasp!
During the World War II, and after the whole life dedicated to the engine, the Italian factory "Piaggio" devoted itself to the manufacture of a very special bombardier, the P108. The factory like that was turned into aim military and devastated by the allied fire. With the defeat, average destroyed Italy needed a way of cheap transport and of her average demolished factory happened to the owners to develop a prototype of very singular motorcycle, the MP5, which would give place to the known one popularly like "paperino" for his seemed one with the Broke Donald. It was a failure. D'Ascanio, an aeronautical engineer checked the model; it placed the engine on the back wheel and designed the front arm as a landing gear. Piaggio on having seen her I exclaim "! Beautiful, look like a wasp! ". The "Vespa" had just been born.
This singular vehicle has turned for many into an object of worship. It has been a cinematographic icon. There are innumerable the famous ones who have confessed devout of this vehicle: Louis Armstrong, Balduino of Belgium, Carolina of Monaco or Luis Michael Dominguín between others. My friend Carmelo de Catania sold his car because it could not support it. He bought a vespa and went away to Bologna where there is studying his girlfriend Graciella. I did the photo in an alley of Palermo. It was the admiration of the walkers.
Discussion of traffic
A national chain of television, with the aim to inculcate the children habits that they were helping themselves handle in an environment with quantity of cars, created a series led by the lunnis. It was an offer divertída of knowing and learning to respect the procedure of the safety víal. The children of the photo, it is necessary to recognize it, already they were aiming at ways of aggressive drivers. Of it six years ago.
To do without ceiling
They say that to do in the street is the art for the subsistence of his creator. The talent or the skill can help to pay the rent. The painter of the photo is the last one of a generation of street painters and it was hoping that it was the definitive one. In ten years it has not changed place. He establishes himself in the same square. What was called me the attention was not the painting of the photo, rather mediocre to my to deal. It was the position of the painter forming a part of the images of the linen. After doing the photo we take a few coffees with histories.
Happy cat
In Istanbul the cats are the kings of the street. They are like the city itself; noble, half-caste, crossed, without pedigree, rebellious, dirty. The cats are treated by special fondness by the inhabitants of Istanbul, who feed them with what they have to hand. The feline this aristocracy represented by the Angora cat. And let's not say the cats of They Go. These cats for law cannot go out of the country. Only as present for chiefs of condition. At the far end there are Tarlabasi's, as poor cats as his inhabitants. In that restaurant placed in an alley with abundant terraces, a cat was resting to the Sun. Distant look, bored one saw happy because we all had treated it well. It looks like Changir's cat for the rather fat and glossy thing that is - says to me Abasi, the owner of the restaurant. And he asked me to do a photo to him for him. To five minutes the cat already was playing with another colleague for the roofs of the terraces. The noise that they were doing in the uralíta was deafeni
Vaginoplástic
The consumption of synthetic hormones (synthetic oestrogens) or of organic origin (natural oestrogens), they allow that the physical carácteristicas should alter for any of two sexes. In case of the men if feminine hormones are consumed the fat is redistributed towards hips and chests, the form of the face changes and the physical features are feminized. In some cases the consumption of feminine hormones: oestrogens, they are accompanied of andriandrógenos. In case of the women who consume masculine hormones they are develop beard in the face, there is intensified the quantity of corporal down, major muscular mass and facial features mas sudden. Normally the masculine hormone, testosterone, is injected so it can damage to certain organs if it is consumed by gastric route.
A few years ago I knew Mario and his boyfriend, both graphical designers. Yesterday, in an alley of the Old City I was approached by a woman's smile. Behind this smile Felisa appeared. In the cafeteria of the square it put me in the picture about the disappearance of Mario and about the birth of a splendid woman. And it does not have boyfriend.
Carabine
Carbine is a person who accompanies a man and a woman to prevent them from remaining alone. It was Thursday and had an appointment with my girlfriend. His friend, of profession carbine, insisted on doing his work and accompanied us in the walks along the Big Canton. It made it free.
Addams in Or Pindo
The Family Addams they cultivate only the thorns of the roses, have as pets to a few carnivorous plants, a rare taste for the poisonous liquids, and relax in the room of tortures. His shaded extravagancy is supported by an enormous fortune, they say that inherited from his ancestors. The Addams live in a mansion of a style mansardo, of middle of the 19th century, in the United States, and are mobilized in cars of luxury of the 20s.
The house that appeared after the bend, was situated on the Coast it gives Morte. It was extremely attractive to come out in photographs. She might be the summer casíta of the Addams. If it was appearing in this moment Morticia or the uncle Fétido, or Fingers covering my Summicrón, I would not be surprised at all. I returned three years later and met a totally reformed house. They had prepared her for rural tourism. A sorrow.
Street music
When to Eric Clapton " slow hand " they granted the recognition as the best guitarist, to the question of a journalist it answered that, turning the first corner, insurance that there would be a better guitarist. Simply, he had mas luck. When we meet in the street a box, a hat, a casing of an instrument, a few Euros, few ones, behind there is someone sowing life with flying notes. The lucky mas create an admirers' semicircle. Though the street offers for free entry, someone will part with a currency. One evening the street filled with music, as the smell of the coffee newly ground. It was a question of a quartet of rope which musicians concerned to musical associations proceeding from Dresden.
Once finished the famous festival of classic music, these musicians were devoting themselves to cross the world for his account, financing the trip with actions in the streets, sometimes in restaurants. In this case using instruments jazzisticos. The level of the group was the highest. It was a gift.
Ecotubos T-5
The fluorescent pipes last approximately 6.000 hours, are mas expensive that the incandescent bulbs, his energetic performance is 30 %, but with the disadvantage of having a light parpadeante and cold. The substitution of traditional systems of reactancia-cebador-condensador for balastros electronic can suppose a saving of 25 %. Nowadays there exist on the market a few fluorescent pipes, called Echo - pipe, which can be placed rapidly instead of the former fluorescent ones. All that seems to Marisol very likely but it wanted to verify it personally.
Pool
One of the more popular categories of billiards is that of American billiards, also known as pool. In this case, the table has 6 holes or loopholes, four in the corners and two more in the center of each one of the long sides of the table. In them they must introduce the balls following the specific rules of every game. The games of pool are in the habit of possessing 15 balls numbered from the 1 to 15, it be 7 o'clock first known like smooth, since they are colored in a uniform way along the whole ball, using a different color for each of them. The 7 last ones know themselves like striped, using the same colors that the smooth balls in the same order, being distinguished by the form in which the color is applied in a band about the ball. The ball 8 possesses the black color, being the only one that does not repeat itself in the set applied to the whole ball like the smooth balls. The simple fact of introducing the white ball or of not touching the ball 8 alone when they exceed this two, or the ball extracts 8 out of the table or embocar the ball 8 in a loophole different from the announced one, is an automatic loss of the party for the one who has committed the lack. And it removes strictly.
The photo had to do it with the bad one. This way it might give perspective to the table and introduce the lamps in the setting. The face of the subject was not important in this case.
Stairs snail in offices of a notary
The end of the 19th century is considered by many as the golden age of the construction of stairs, Peter Nicholson developed a mathematical system for stairs and railings bringing the art of the stairs over to the craftsmen and workers of the wood and the metal. For ends of 1980 Eve Jiricna of London began to design stairs in glass and stainless steel what was giving to the stairs a futurist and elegant aspect. Nowadays it is increasingly common to go out of the conventional design of iron and wood and to go on to different materials as the stainless steel, the glass, and the titanium.
The building where I did the photo is dedicated to offices, in the main offices of a notary and someone that another agency. The perpectiva, already of for if very photogenic, he prospered with the human imágen refilling his papers. A few high large windows opened for the court of lights illuminated with a lot of "professionalism" the scene. I used a Sony DSC-V3, of the best of this manufacturer. The photo relieved the irrational invoice of the notary.
The friends of Dakota
Jamis Dakota Elite, height 17 ", disc brakes, pitchfork with blockade. Wheels, rims and connecting-rods Bontrager. Cambio Shimano XT and back suspenders of carbon. It is not that of the photo, but the friends exceed this one.
The astonishment
To fascinate, to astonish, to amaze, to fascinate, to admire, to be charmed with, to dazzle... And if to this we add the antonyms and his types: complementary, gradual and reciprocal, it is impossible to amaze. According to the traditional Chinese medicine, the heart acquires the postnatal emotions, between them the astonishment. It adds that the astonishment paralyzes the qi of the heart and reduces the qi of the kidney. In the times that run we cannot make another thing, turn the astonishment into anger for not being able to support the greedy money of plastic.
The last good-bye
The Law 42/2010, of December 30, 2010, more known as new law antitobacco or law antitobacco 2011 is a Spanish law that came into force on January 2, 2011, as modification of the previous law antitobacco of 2006, and whose more important measures are the prohibition of smoking in any type of closed place opened the public, besides some exceptions of opened places where it is prohibited to smoke and of closed places where it is allowed. The serious lacks will be sanctioned by fine from 601 Euros up to 10.000 Euros, and the very serious ones, from 10.001 Euros up to 600.000 Euros. But in my house I give the orders, though the one that smokes is the silhouette of my wife.
Magic flow
My friend Alfonso, great follower of the culture of the wine, invited me to savour a broth that, according to the slang that it used, was magnificent. The first step, airearlo. The jet that was falling down on the decanter of crystal, with his sparkles and color ruby, was magic. It was standing out very cleanly on the white bottom of the porch. It poured it very slow. It wanted to do a capture with my compact of pocket. The photo seemed to me to be attractive and I sent it to a contest summoned by a few warehouses known about the country. It obtained the first prize. Before the protocol of delivery of prizes, a member of the juror approached to wonder for the number of used flashes. Only the very powerful one, I said to him: the Sun.
Some so much...
Mas of 30 million persons dies every year for bad world distribution of food. The poverty is the major person in charge of the hunger in a world of abundance. There is no food shortage, there is shortage of will to solve this world shame. The armed conflicts, in the major measure, are one of the first reasons. In the World Summit of the Supply he remembered as aim to come a year 2050 reducing the numbers to the half. Very easy to obtain the aim, because the persons will be dying. The author of this photography overcomes the life expectation of a newborn child in the countries mas poor, that is 38 years. I sit modesty on having admitted that the shares of Herves's restaurant were so generous that I could not finish my food... And others so little.
Iphontografía
One of the characteristics to fencing for the brand of shift in this of the mobile telephony, it is the kindness of the built-in camera. `Yo more ' he got hold of the revolution of the pixels. The function for the one that initially they were created, as telephones, goes on to the second place. His quality supposes him and is not necessary to lose mas time. The icon that represents the telephone gets lost in a multicolored carpet of icons. Attending to the saying of which `la better chamber is the one that you take above `, it is here where the mobiles offer us with sauciness his photographic potential and of video. They bring of the hand the opportunity for the moment. The already this quality doing his way. The magazine Macworld, which one dedicates to all the Apple's products, published a front page realized with one of the products of the family, the iphone. For the cost of a coffee in the bar of the corner and in many cases gratis, there can be acquired programs of photography and video that they allow to edit in the own telephone. It is not a necessary computer. The results can manage to be very enterteining. I was a great detractor of the chamber in the mobile. Today I am less. I value the opportunity of a photo, though his quality suffers and does not need a great file. Always in absence of the camera.
A coffee with a dash of milk, with a cloud
Acapulco, Arab, batter, Belgian, white and black, brulot, cocoa frappe, capricci, capuccino, carioca, cartwright, Colombian, Danish, decaffeinated, espréss, favorit, leaked, flip, I leak, grains, Dutch, instantaneously, irish coffee, toasting, Turk, Viennese. My preferído is the ristretto or caffe all'italiana. Short and concentrated. It is prepared by the half of water and another half of ground coffee. As consequence the aroma and the flavor is very intense. In any bar this one coffee they are in the habit of accompanying it on a water glass. But now, at this moment, I will take a coffee with a dash of milk with a small cloud of milk.
Graphical nonsense
He says to us the Royal Spanish Academy that nonsense can define as saying or fact out of reason, sense or convenience. This photo was realized by the way very removed from a coherent and elegant look. I wanted to fill it with nonsenses: a pencil, a lemon, a bathrobe with seams at sight, a color fuchsia on red color. A cushion to a certain extent elegant. And all that on a personage sat in a sofa. Everything is been wrong, a mistake, a lack of logic. Ultimately, I obtained it. Una Canon Ixus helped me to demonstrate it. It is one of my favorite.
Shoefiti
Madrid could not be less, being one of the last cities in adding to the phenomenon 'Shoefiti', a movement spread over half a world that consists of hanging couples of slippers or of shoes on the cables of light or on those of telephony for motives as unlike as of reminding a death, of announcing a wedding or of putting up signs on the place in the one that sells drug. Half art half legend, the 'Shoefiti' can be observed already in some streets of Usera's district, in Carabanchel, in the zonas of New People or Quintana, in Linear City, or in certain municipalities as Móstoles. This phenomenon, which has replies in Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Mexico, Ecuador, Italy or Ireland, was born in the urban zones of The United States and Canada.
In a beginning it was said that this practice was created to put up signs on the places in which drug was sold or to remember the young persons belonging to Latin bands that had been murdered in some affray. But these are not the only explanations that are given him to the phenomenon. There is the one who thinks that to throw shoes or slippers to the cables of light or of telephone it has to see with the celebration of the end of the school course, with an advertisement of wedding or simply with the fact want to leave a personal fingerprint in the city. Some American neighborhoods are in the habit of using this practice to remember to someone that it has expired recently, for what his shoes throw to the branches of a tree with the belief of which when his spirit returns it could walk.
Where I did the photo it was an important point of distribution of drug.
Repliant Nexus 6, n º of series 120034/Ne102
Already Philip K. Dick was saying it in " do they dream the androids of electrical sheeps? "... The gray air of the morning, full of radioactive particles that were getting dark the Sun, was offending his smell. He inhaled involuntarily the corruption of the death. Well, it was a slightly excessive description, it observed while it was going towards the particular sector of lawn that it was possessing unitedly with the immense placed apartment down below. The inheritance of the Terminal World war had diminished the power of the men. Those who could not survive had been forgotten years before. Then the powder, already mas weak person and with survivors mas strong, only could alter the mind and the genetic capacity. There was born a future in which beings made across the genetic engineering, which were named repliants, were used in dangerous works as slaves in the exterior colonies of the Earth. These repliants made by Tyrell Corporation to be mas human that the human beings - specially the Nexus-6-were alike physically the human beings - though with a major agility and physical force - but lacking the same emotional response and empathy. Repliants were declared illegal in the planet Earth after a bloody riot. A special body of the police took charge raking, withdrawing or killing to the fugitive repliants. For it they contracted Harrison Ford. The video of war made it Ridley Scott. At present some repliants survive in the shop windows of malls.
Performance
A peformance is an artistic action in any situation that involves four basic elements: time, space, the body of the artist and a relation between this one and the public. The performance has kinships with the poetical action, the intermediate one, the visual poetry and other expressions of the contemporary art. Some of them call to such expressions (identical or very similar to the performance): live art, action art, interventions and manoeuvres. The photo belongs to a performance that took place in a public park. The nake and bedaubed actors were purifying and cleaning his body with the water, as expression of the need of the vallued liquid. The effect in the public was forceful.
Reflexus
The reflection in the photography is, undoubtedly, the natural assembly of the light. It allows us to combine, somehow, very different planes that come from other caps and directions. In most cases, the elements do not have anything to see between yes. For these cases it is necessary to use the manual approach of the chamber. The autoarea can deceive with many facility, for the different planes of the light. His execution turns out to be exciting. The photographer does not place the elements for the capture. The photographer invades this space and looks for the angle mas adapted to combine the subjects, throwing a pulse to the light. The difficulty is in controlling the planes in all his aspects and not waiting to what it goes out. To cross a street in the hour determined with chamber in hand, it does not have waste.
Trio of two
The actress of theatre Marta Escribano was not knowing his future profession when he collaborated with the tyro at the time Angelo. Time later one told it to his great friend Juan Diego and this one was splitting of laugh. The scene was free, an empty beach. The material, of undone, a few frames and a chair of the garbage. An old woman rèflex given, Nikon F, with a suspicious aspect, lasted until the end. She had been given me by a friend who had a place of glasses, a modern bar with room of exhibitions in which several projectors of slides were working simultaneously. The effects that were producing were spectacular. The condition of the lending was in exchange for nourishing it of slides. In this moment it seemed to me likely. It could take a free glass. And I had a good réflex in the hand.
I did three captures. In the hardware store of the neighborhood I obtained a chunk of network of plastic. The salesman ended up by being a colleague, for the times that it was going to buy objects of all kinds. I believe that it was entertaining him exceedingly on having known his end. In the "study" I composed a sandwich with the girl, projecting his face in the network. For it I used an old man Agfa. I did an alone photo. It was not for a well versed discipline. The Kodachrome 64 was magnificent, but very expensive. Every reel was taking advantage of it to the maximum. We were moving in times of excited heads and humble means for very gratifying results. But they were necessary. I have to say that the colleague gave me the old chamber. Already he was an owner of my first réflex.
M-30
I read in the papers that the tunnels of the M-30 are a set of four tunnels cartwrights in double pipe each one of éllos. These tunnels form the major network of urban tunnels of Europe. In three years that lasted the obras, recollection to spend for autènticos bullpens. Orders and signs of jackets reflectantes and blue, red hulls and the white color of the foreman. Informative handmade signs, narrow steps. Today, finished the works, these tunnels allow for a moment to escape of the car chaos of the surface of the street. But care, they warn me, it is an inexhaustible source of sanctions for speeding. Not everything was good. All the cars were advancing me for my caution. My speed allowed me to place the chamber on the glove compartment. It was testing the Fuji X100. Because not to begin there. The road surface of the causeway was still in good condition, which allowed to reduce enough the trepidation of the capture, helped by a coiled huntress, as support of the chamber. I went out of the experiment without any sanction.

When I read Françoise Barthélemy who defines the word autoportrait, the self-portrait turns into a subkind into west into the 14th century. It is the first time that associates it with the reflexive image of demonstrating the conscience of a singularity. He acquires a particular vigor at the end of the Renaissance when new humanist worries arise. At present, in the photography, to the self-portrait we might be call him a better autopresentation.
I had the temptation of retouching myself very seriously. It would remain years but it would win in stupidity.
