Parque juan XXIII, ñuñoa

More than a park... for me is great part of my life, allways present in my life, since my childhood until now, Juan XXIII finding in The commune of Ñuñoa, near from my house too, is a wonderful park full of histories, an priceless moments for people.

I go there when i need to be alone with myself, it might sound a little emo lol, but is a very quiet park then you can watch kids runnin' around the games, calling their parents to see them down in the slide, even some couples or teenagers that go to spend the time drinking beers, smoking something (i've seen cigarettes to even weed XD). anyway...it's a nice environment to walk in a spring afternoon.

I used to go there with my former best friend, we went to take some pictures, he was teaching me how to use my analogue camera ( a Zenit XP12, with a 50mm lens), explaining me the light condition, the diaphragm openness etc, i can say i learnt with him.

I think i've said almost everything about this park, because to say "ohhh is so green, it has so many trees, a playground, grass and grapevines" it's superfluous to me, we know almost every park in the world has these qualities, so i needed to mention the qualities that makes this park special for me.

I hope you can visit this park, and maybe you can tell me how was it =)

Bye everyone!

Robert Capa

Hi everyone, im sorry i'm late... but anyways today i will write about one of the most important photographer to me. Robert Capa.
Who is he? let's se a short biography. born Ernest Andrei Friedmann in Budapest. Capa was possibly the most famous war photographer of the 20th century. Robert Capa covered five different wars: the Spanish civil war, the Japanese invasion of China, World War II, London, North Africa, Italy, D-Day on Omaha Beach and the liberation of Paris are all history documented in part by Capa.

He wasn't a full-time job photographer, he started like only a part-time job in photography, but His most famous work was done on June 6th, 1944 (D-Day Normandy Invasion) where he swam up on the beaches like all the other soldiers that day, but instead of being armed with a gun, he was armed with a camera. (very tipical from him, that's one of the motives he was called "Kamikaze Cappa").

Unfortunately cappa died by stepping in a landmine in May 25, 1954 ending that way with the rest of his glorious career short.

Here yo have some of his work capturated during wars.

As we saw in the pictures, we can see the passion in the pictures that Capa transmit to us, besides the quality of the image (the kind of format also, B&W) giving us the chance to see "another side of the war".
That's basically why i admire so much him.


Regards to everyone =)

NO todo es ARTE

When i say art... i think, what is really art, a piece of art, or maybe one type of it... honestly, i still can't figure it out, i just can say that, for me, almost everything is art in my life, and today i'm gonna talk about some of my favourites bands/artists . =)

I will start with "Lacuna Coil"
is an Italian metal band from Milan formed in 1994. for composing midtempo songs consisting of prominent guitar lines and contrasting dual female( Cristina scabbia)/male vocal harmonies to help create a melodic, detached sound.
Actually this band have 5 studio albums being "The shallow life" the last one recorded in 2009.


There you have one video i like, one of my favourites join to Whitin me.

Other band completely diferent from LC is "Red hot Chili peppers", are an American rock band formed in LA, California, in 1983. The band's current line-up is Anthony kiedes(vocals),Flea (bass), Chad Smith (drums) and Josh klinghoffer(guitar). Their musical style has fused traditional Funk with elements of other genres including hip-hop, punk-rock and Phsychedelic Rock.
They were in Chile in 2002 (i think, i cannot remember exactly), i like their music since i was a little girl, but now that i'm older i can enjoy all of their songs and videos, and of course understand it.


Why are these bands special for me?
They're both make me feel so good, make me sing and why not sometimes scream a little in my room (wait a minute, that sounds a little creep, lol).
