No picture. I have the great opportunity to draw a little bit,... no draw,... I haven't finish any new yet.
Since yesterday evening, I am in Valparaiso,...and I just love the place. I often have to answer to the question: " You know a lot of different cities, witch one will you choose for living?" and until yesterday I had no clue,... I have been charm by Barcelona, I enjoy Rome, I like Paris ( Maybe because I never live there,...) London is amazing, Madrid too... in is own way,... but I never really fall on my knee for a city.
Of course I will have to describe it with my words,... because all the pictures doesn't show it all,... because my only digital camera is a small pocket one,... ( I had three before I get stolen) and it will takes weeks for my other photos to be on line,...Well close your eyes,... ( only if you can ask somebody to read for you,...) and imagine a sort of stereotype of a south American city, Cuban taste,... the noise of the street, music everywhere,... big city with human size,.. animals in the street,...( I saw a goose in the town center yesterday),... this place is so alive, close to the sea,... with a big port,... and the smell of it. 45 hills hidden under the houses,.... 45 hills, colourful houses, New Orleans, la Havana, Lisbon,...Madrid,... Barcelona. ...All in one. This place may be the south American capital city of socislim,... there is so many stories on his walls,... so many assets of this south American way of living Barcelona's Barrio Gotico,...the lifts of a new way of seeing Lisbon,... big town center close to the port,... and above all art and history. Mixing up modern and old fashion, Romanticism and underground, art and culture, my heart and my feelings...
"Amo Valparaiso, cuanto encierras y cuanto irradias, novia del oceano,... "
pablo neruda
I might spend a few weeks there, ...visit Santiago from my room,... my windows are a open space full of dreams,... falling in love for the old street of cerro concepcion,...I am staying in a hostel call " la maison du filou",... so it is obvious that I feel all right,... like at home. Maybe this city is my home. I can feel that many travelers stop traveling arriving here,...This place look like their limit lover,... those people that barely nothing or nobody can stop, or dry out they appetite of adventure, except the sea or god... wild spirits,...This place is like those women who can stole you from reason,...Carmen ...de la valle,..del paraiso.
Maybe I will not be strong enough,...just to leave her,... ever






Well,... I am in the
newspaper, again,...What a trip!
Rainy days,... grey colors and a particular
smeel of the sea witch remind me home. This place is a kind of bretagne,...on a island! I am staying in a hostal of Castro the main city of the place. Here there is no way to
avoid seafood, seashell, patatoes, and the main production of the island,... salmons. Two divers from the "salmonera", actually stay in the hostel as well,... so I don't even have to go to the
restaurant. The sad weather allows me to spend more time on a cumputer,... so I just eat, sleep and take a few shots. Then, from tomorow, I will come back to the civilisation, with
bigger cities, and even reel streets,... Puerto montt,...Osorno,... Valdivia,... Temuco,... and then the unfamous and expected
Santiago (where I will maybe stay around two weeks)
Taking people portrait is a real pleasure, ...more than choosing who,...you have to show the
right angle and instant that will define him ( her) as you saw in his (her) deep open eyes.
Eyes reading is a code, a
language,... no way of teaching, everybody have to learn about it on his own. In a instant you know if you'll trust or not,... in a instant you judge, you classified,.. and there is nothing that
we could do about it,... your instinct is handing you.
I arrived in Puerto aisen by
11.00am,...I lived my first earthquake by 01.00pm,... and it was a big one,... about 8. It is really impressive, ...I was actually on my ass. The all city was
having lunch, when a close submarine volcano ( 25 km away )show his power to everybody.
