Los Mingitorios

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

Sigue mi propuesta para el “Festival de la Luz,” el agosto de 2008. Y por ahí­ hay un ejemplo como instalar la obra. Como un varon, yo entro a baños publicos con mingitorios casi todos los dias. Varias cosas allá me llaman la atención. Empecé con la obra en 2004 en mis primeros dias en [...]

Porteño Strays

Friday, November 30th, 2007

The holiday season is near in Buenos Aires so it’s getting hot. Makes for nice walks with my dog Clyde no matter what the hour. We pass through Parque Lezama near where I live a couple times a week. It is a big lush park, with Jacaranda and Ceibo trees now in bloom. There are [...]

Parallels

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

War and the suppression of basic liberties are never nice things. Today there are few people who believe that the invasion of Iraq wasn’t a big horrendous mistake. Even the greatest advocate of the war, the current president of the USA, is looking for a way out of the mess. And the US public is [...]

Señora Presidente

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

In a country where a steak is cheaper than a tomato, a new president was just elected who happens to be the wife of the current president. She is also a prominent senator in her own right. The centrist Christina Fernendez Kirchner won with 45% of the national vote. And the price of the tomato [...]

Slide Show of Northern Argentina

Saturday, October 6th, 2007

I shot over 300 pics on my recent trip to Salta and Jujuy, and this is one perspective of the landscape there: Click here This was a technical exercise in using Adobe Lightroom to process raw digital images. The slideshow itself was generated straight from Lightroom and then I tweaked it to fit this site.

Telerman Invades Buenos Aires

Monday, May 28th, 2007

This is the current chief of the government of Buenos Aires, and he is running for re-election. At first these ads seemed a mistake, but now I see that they are a strategy. (Photo by Katarina.) See the entire photo gallery.

Los Carritos

Monday, May 21st, 2007

Es una obra que siga todaví­a. Conjunto con un clase de fotografí­a hago en el Centro Cultural Rojas, se llama “Ensayo Documental Fotografí­a,” estoy documentando los carritos que venden carne por la Costanera Sur, la Costanera Norte, y Parque Palermo. Como soy un extranjero, me impresionan mucho la cultura donde hay un rico sandwich de [...]

Violencia en pleno

Tuesday, May 8th, 2007

Violence is not always what it appears or what you expect it to appear like. In my experience living in a few different cities I have been exposed to all modes of violence both directly and indirectly. Something seeming very dramatic can really be nothing more than a squabble between two over-testosteronized dudes. A parent [...]

Macri Declares, La Nelly Responds

Tuesday, March 6th, 2007

I saw this image played all over the news channels last week, and then in the newspapers. My proficiency in the language is not so great that I could understand it all, but figured it was politics as usual here. Mauricio Macri was announcing his candidacy for the head of Buenos Aires in the coming [...]

Manolo

Wednesday, January 4th, 2006

Manolo is my favorite restaurant in all of Argentina. Also it happens to be located 2 blocks from where I live. I first came across this restaurant after I had moved into the San Telmo neighborhood, or so I thought it was the first time. I first went alone and then began to bring people [...]
