June

June, sneaky month.  (Insert here your favorite excuse/apology for not being around as often as I would like to). Moving on. I'm sharing two of the photos that I developed a couple of weeks ago. The Lomo people already sent the physical copies my way. I love paper photos. The first one are some videotapes abandoned in Stokey back in December. The second one was me, with a disposable camera in my flat in Buenos Aires... at least one year ago. Sneaky year.

I'll keep this post short because I'm on my way to a very interesting workshop about emerging digital materiality in the Wellcome Trust. I'd promise that I'll share my insights about it here, but I don't trust myself anymore.

São Paulo in Film

More sunny memories for a rainy day. These are from my flash-trip to the lovely São Paulo this past September. Ibirapuera Park, the incredible Avenida Paulista and its arty phone-booths, and the MASP. I hope to have the chance to expend at least more than a day in São Paulo, next time my plane lands in there. Let's see!


PS: I don't have the photographic evidence, but the best sashimi I've eaten in my life was there.  Brazil is home to the largest Japanese population outside of Japan, so if you ever go to São Paulo, do yourself a favor and have massive amounts of sushi.

Minisnowflakes

Today it was freezing (-1 degree, that's a lot cold for Buenos Aires standards). Around 8.00 am I got to see like 16 snowflakes falling gracefully from the sky (for the first time ever). The rest of the day, I didn't mind about the weather being so cold, of course.

Unreal Tenses

Unreal Tenses: We used them to express regret that things are not different, to tell other people what they should do, and to talk about things that we would like to happen.

This is a grammar lesson I've just learn in my English classes. I think it's brilliant in very different levels. Apparently, I've been doing some serious unreal thinking/living these days. At least now I know how to call it. If only.


The photos are some random neighborhood film photos. A billboard that reminds me of Carrie, and my fruit stand of choice (recently named and painted). Hope you like them.
