An artist that i admire so much is Diane Arbus.

She was a photographer born in the United States, New York in 1923.

During the 1940’s  she worked as a  photographer in “Vogue” magazine. However, she produced her most recognizable work in the sixties, during the height of the counterculture.

I find her work very interesting , because it always represents the “b side” of the United States society, the marginal ways  of life, ultimately, these things that never shown us, that which is unpresentable and left out for the establishment. (mental patients, sexual minorities, prostitutes, people with deformed bodies, etc.)

Her photographs always are in black and white, with high contrast between lights and shadows, which produces a strange sensation, like a mystery atmosphere. The personages always appear in first plane and looking at the camera, like defying the viewer.

One of my favorite images is a called “In the Park", where there are two pairs of personages sitting on a bench in Central Park. In the left side there are two transvestites dressed in lace and erotic clothing’s with dark tones, and the right side there are two typical ladies dressed in white with a attitude of strangeness front of transvestites.  I think this image is fascinating, is like a mixture of two universes totally different.

Post 3 : Unforgettable Holidays

In my last summer traveled to Copiapo, specifically at the beginning of February. I traveled alone and there was waiting for me a friend named "Waren" who gave me hosting in your home that is located near the city center… long ago my friend was inviting me to visit. It was a really interesting trip, I met the desert and many beautiful beaches, however, the more I wanted to know what was the desert, and the desert is what I most remember of the trip, especially in the evenings when the sun set and the desert changed color to purple tones.

Also camped near a beach called "Bahia Inglesa". Never had done a tent before in my life, and my friend either, and as you would expect he was not very well done jaja… but anyway served quite. Something I will never forget was when we found fish carcasses in middle of the desert, it was very creepy (probably some people ate and left there the remains) and as my friend is a photographer took some pictures of the place, so I chose a photo of that place specifically for the blog.

I have very good memories of those vacations, and also look forward to returning some day!

Post 1: Spring Term

During the first half of this year I had a bad experience with my band, when the drummer decided to leave. That was a major problem because the style of music we play (which could be defined as stoner / metal) is not very popular here, so finding a new drummer who fits in the band is very difficult, in fact, we have not found one, and it seems that we will not find anyone in a long time. Anyway, we decided to be patient and wait as long as it takes to get the right drummer.

However, during this time I have formed another band called "CAER", with a much darker and heavier sound, which keeps me very excited and motivated. The band influences range from a mix of "crust punk" and "doom-metal", so there are moments of great speed and others, on the contrary, very slow. I play the guitar in “CAER”, while Felipe (same name as me), who plays the bass and also sings, has a really cool voice, very guttural and demonic!
