I like photography so I going to write about one of my favourite photographers: Steve McCurry. 

Steve McCurry is a american photojournalist and he was born on February 24, 1950 in Pennsylvania. I´ve been reading about him and I knew he wanted to study cinematography, in fact, he started studying cinematography and filmmaking in Penn State University, but finally he finished in theater arts and he graduated in 1974. 

His career as photographer started when he worked in "The Daily Collegian" a newspaper of Pennsylvania as photographer, but his great leap he get when he started taking photographies around the world, specially in Afghanistan, in this place he took a portrait of a girl and it was really famous because it´s a beautiful portrait and it was front page in National Geographic in June, 1985. 

Then, he has covered several war situations and others human conflicts and themes around the world, but today he gives class in USA and Asia.    

I like this guy because I love his photos, specially his portraits, he has several beautiful portraits, and I put these here due to are the most representative (or maybe not, depending of your point of view) of his work.  

Steve has a great sensitivity for the portraits and he knows how to catch the precise moment for the take, he has said that he waits the instant for taking the photo, he finds a worthy person or group for being captured and he come back one, two, until ten times for taking the master peace, it´s necessary waiting for the moment for seeing the essence of the person through their eyes. Brilliant.

Well, the last movie I saw was "À bout de souffle", it´s a french movie in black and white and it was filmed in 1960. I saw just yesterday at my house for a presentation today. 
The plot of this movie it´s about a young criminal , Michel, a man without future, who goes to find his american girfriend (Patricia) to Paris and to get back his money from a friend, or rather other ganster. After he goes to find this, he stole a car in Marsella, so during his travel to Paris a police catchs him and Michel kills him and he must run away. When he arrived to Paris he finds Patricia and he said that they must go to Rome together, by the way she´s indecisive and she never anwers him crearly. Then due to an inspector who speaks with her, she knows police is finding Michel and she runs away with him, but finally she phones police and Michel dies. 
The actors of this movie are Jean - Paul Belmondo as Michel, and Jean Seberg as Patricia, Belmondo is a frequent actor for Godard´s movies. 
Finally, I consider a nice movie, with a different aesthetic, very typical of nouvelle vague french, although this movie starts up to this new school. I like the history, beacuse is true to life, wihout a Hollywood happy end.   

Well, I never have been attached to technology, I don´t like tablets and great touch phones either, I just love any music player that sounds good, very good, but in this moment I don´t go to write about some music player, I go to write about my other favourite piece of technology (and perhaps a piece of fetish) it´s the photographic camera.

I have two cameras now, a digital camera and a analogue camera, both of them very beautiful, although the digital camera is non-professional it was my first serious approach to the photographic world. I have the digital camera since 2007 (I still was in my other school), and I think that contact with this instrument it was a change in my life (although it sounds excessive), on the other hand my analogue camera I have since two years ago (well I think so, I don´t remember it exactly), that camera was of my father and one day it broke and my uncle Hernán wanted to repair but the problem was he never gave back it until another day I decided to find it to his house, after that no problem. I use my cameras in any situation, my digital camera I use it to photograph protests in this streets and some interesting situation in any moment and my analogue camera I use it to photograph family situations, I have to say their textures and aesthetic are totally different, photographies from a analogue camera are sublimes. In this moment I don´t use so often I´l like it, because I have less time, but in vacations I take all photographs I want. I couldn´t say the reason because I love cameras, or rather photography, but it always catch my attention, from I was a child (my father always liked photography and I remember when he arrived with our camera when I was a little girl, the analogue camera I have now). Finally I can´t conceive a world without cameras, because simply we´re in a culture of image, it´s impossible to think this world without images and besides that, I didn´t have memories of my life so visuals like a photography (personally).
