the last day of the rest of your life

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.
Aquí al link por si te animas a leer lo que me está volviendo loca

Un poco de muerte, un poco de vida....

Cómo serán los últimos diez segundos de tu vida?

PENSARÁS O SÓLO LO DISFRUTAS?

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

Photograpy now

"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.
