The anti aesthetic war: Photographing life

These are probably one of the most shocking images I've ever seen! I love animals, I really do and to look at this is just breath taking. I eat animals in a regular basis and I can't call me an animal lover after eating them and looking at this pics.
I most say these are great images, although shocking and sad they come from a extraordinary photographer that has won the 3rd prize for the 2010 World Press Photo contest in the : Contemporary Issues category.
Tommaso Ausili took this images in Italy. You can take a look at his work in the http://www.worldpressphoto.org website and also get to know the other winers that are without a doubt the best photojournalist out there.

This is one of the photographs that you can find in blind photograpers. org. Originally posted by Lion42.
Are you aware this photograph has been taken by a blind or visually-impaired photographer?
Most of the time we believe that most blind people cant really see, but these guys are a showing that the human eye goes beyond what we think it can do.
Photography must set up a different story when it starts recognizing blind photographers art. The aesthetics of their work is quite similar to someone who has seen all her or his life. Therefore we have to revalue how do we think the aesthetics come in to our senses , since we have proclaimed for a long time it its by our eyes. take a look at these guys amazing work !!!
It sure shocked me.

New Project

2010-01-21T21:02:00.000-08:00

Hi!!! I recently discovered this really incredible website Hitrecord: http://hitrecord.org/
made from a artist to promote artists. It's really really cool, right now theyr'e working for a proyection for SunDance and you can send your material and probably be a part of it.

The most important thing about this new projects, is that we are getting out of traditional medias of who are the artists and , how can the expose themselves and more importantly you don't have to impress anyone, you just have to be yourself, and that's what makes it more worth trying.
It's all about video, music, film, images, and text.
You work for yourself but you expose it to the whole world and the final product will be what you want it to be.
please try going into the site and try to be in a screen in Sundance.

and most importantly Check out my work!!!!

I have always wondered why the biggest tragedies happen to the mos unfortunate people take Haiti now. I just hope that natural tragedies had a solution but lets face it, there's nothing we can really really do. Still the question remains, why always the poor people?
check this link to New York Times photos of Haiti, they say it all.

Most people would write here all the good things that happened in their year or whatever love problem they had and has them in a terrible depresion. Anyway, this ain't may case, or the space for writting about it. Probably someone just had a shity year and thinks that if he or she (no sexism here) puts three hundred panties on at 12 a.m and goes running naked 30 kms, he or she will get whatever person they want the first day of 2010. Lets not lie to each other !! Love is not a thing we can fabricate, Im sorry to say that since im the number 1 fan of magic things. So we just have to wait (horrible thing to say, I know) until someone comes along (probably the one we hoped for last year) .
So, this is what I have to offer until you wait and hopefully some of this exercise will take some of your down time.
do you have a camera? even the one in your old cel phone works ! take it out and choose one hour of the day you know you are normally in movement i.e : taking the bus, driving, eating, bathing, etc. That hour that you know you are not gonna be watching your favorite show and it makes you look like you are dead.
now, you have the time? lets say 3 p.m for me. here comes the trick:
each day at 3.p.m for 30 days you are going to take your camera out and take a picture of whatever you are doing in that instant. As time goes by you will se in perspective that you aren't really the looser you thought you were, or if you find yourself having a boring life you can do something about it and in the worst of cases you can finally acept you need pshycriathic help!! Its normal to forget the point of this, but on January 30th, if you have been doing it you will write me back (if there's someone who actually reads my blog) post a comment and tell me how did it go.
Ill be doing the same.
Have a wichcraft magic and doggy new year's and see you tomorrow when the first ray of light of 2010 iluminates your pale skin and make you remember that nothing has changed but you can still create stories in your head!!
p.s: I post the link to a video of the Killers that has made me have a good time. enjoy!

Es mejor ver directo a la cámara o estar totalmente sin máscaras?

Después de pasar horas y horas leyendo "Camera Lucida" de Barthes me he dado cuenta que la muerte que menciona en su obra, aun con sus múltiples contradicciones, es verdaderamente la muerte fotográfica. Aun sabiendo que la imagen es sólo un testimonio de que algo existió y que puede acabar bien guardada en mi escritorio, he decidido olvidarme de la espera y la angustia de la catarsis de los espectadores, mandar Barthes al diablo por unos días y fotografiar todo aquello que pienso pueda darte a entender cómo la muerte fotográfica opera y cómo al mismo tiempo puedo mandar a Barthes al diablo.

Masters of the anti-aesthetics war

La mutiplicación de imágenes en un mismo espacio dan sentido a la carencia del valor estético que se fundamenta en la homogeniedad y el moviemiento. La guerra, el bombardeo de imágenes no resta su calidad ni su valor; sino que construye una nueva presencia de nuestra forma de contemplar el arte anti-estético y contemporáneo

"Photography now challenges a traditional stereotype of photography: the idea of the lone photographer scavenging daily life, looking for the moment when a picture of great visual charge or intrigue appears into the photographic frame is dead. Attention is paid here to the degree to which the focus has been preconceived by the photorapher, a strategy designed not only to alter the way we think about our physical and social world but also to take that world into extraordinary dimensions."
Fragment taken from:The Photograph as Contemporary Art.
La lucha constante de un fotógrafo novato por encontrar un instante idílico que convertirá su click en arte, es hoy por hoy una de las peores estrategias en el mundo fotográfico. Lo que hoy se busca es una preconcepción de una idea estética generada por los medios, o en su contrario una batalla por representar el mundo cotidiano que en sí no tiene más sentido que el del movimiento apresurado.
