THE BEST

I want to talk about Sergio Larrain, he wasn’t a film maker.  He was a photographer and it’s a kind of a myth. Born in Santiago de Chile in 1931 and his the most important photographer in the history of our country and died in the rural locality of Ovalle, converted in a species of mystical man. In his youth, he went to study engineering to the United States, but didn’t like it, so prefer to study photography in the University of Michigan.  He was the first Latin-American photographer what work in the magnum agency, the most important agency of the world. His photos was in many museums of the world, but in Chile his didn’t remember.

 I love his pictures because, he show us in a new perspective the quotidian life. All the compositions of his photos are made to highlights the emotions of the situations. The larrain’s most acclaimed work was: Valparaiso.  In this work, we see the city, before mentioned more beautiful than usually is, and the characters of his pictures looks like from another magical site.

WHAT UP, DOG.

On monday i did'nt have class, so i use the oportunnity to see a movie. The movie i saw, was the documentary of the french duo Justice. The name of the documentary, it's a   funny english game of words, bescause his name is: A cross the universe, like the song of the beatles, what is, actually, across the universe. 

The documentary show us, the 2008 North American tour of this band and it's a kind of a road movie. This duo plays electronic music, and it's made up for Gaspard Augé and  Xavier de Rosnay. They are two crazy dj's and live the rocker's life: sex,drougs and rock and roll. the tour it's very succesful, all shows are sold out, but also it’s a complet mess, because   Xavier spent all his time drinking alcohol and having sex with groupies and Gaspar made a lot of riots, in fact the band was busted by the local police, because gaspar into a fight with a drunk stranger and broke a bottle of whisky in his head.

The Documentary it's amazing, because mixe the amazing electronic music with the life of this two crazy guys, which made funnier to see it and know this band in a different perspective.

I hate the technology (especially the bloody smarts phones) and the technology hates me. That's the fact. I don't have television and don't want to, too. Before, when was a child, i love my PS2, but broke it, so many years ago, and my interesting changes. When start my film studies, my uncle pola, gave me his old photographic camera, that's mean a lot to me, because i never had a analogical camera, before that. This camera was a Zenit 122, from the union soviet(that's rock). it's heavier, than the usual,all functions are manual, and use reels who made me learn the real art of taking photos, because you have only thirteen six photos to shoot. and i love it, because that's make me think the photos and concentrate to take the pictures. The process of revealing photos it’s very exciting. The sensation of you don’t know the results in the same time, create more expectatives. I hate the modern digital reflex cameras, because everything think professionals photographers and the camera don’t make the photographer, it’s the opposite. Because of that, long life to old cameras and death to the digital cameras. All time which past, was better, say the proverb.

I always remember the concert of "los fabulosos cadillacs". It was the twelve of octuber of 2009. In latin america it's a very important day, bescause it's celebrated the day of the race or the discovery of america (like if we never exist). The concert was in Club hipico, a place where usually made horse races. I hate agglomerations, but this time didn't care, because i was with one of my best friends, cristian and i found my best friend Carla was very high, and helped to stay fine. When the show started i was very exciting, and started to jump and mosh with my friends and strangers. I didn't want the concert finish, but all finish in this life.
