The Little Chihuahua

Well, i m' not a big fan of photography. It's not like I dont like it, it just I never give it the time to appreciate the photos. I take photos with my own camera, but I dont have any here in the compùter class, so i ll tell the history of how i choose this photo, like my "favourite" picture.

Elliot Erwin took this photo, he is one of the greatest professional photographer i have ever known (maybe its because i dont know many photographer). He probably its the most famous modern photographer in the world, he took many pictures, to famous people like Marilyn Monroe, Nixon and Che Guevara.


Now i present this picture, from NY city. Elliot take this photo in 1945. Streetlevel shot comparing the size of a woman's feet to a sweatered chihuahua. I choose this picture because, its a really funny one, when i went to the Elliot Erwin exposition in the Bellas Artes, I saw many important famous people in those photos, or some conceptual photos, but when I realize about this photo, I really laugh about it. Looking that poor chihuahua, with that funny face beside the big dog.

 It was amazing, because I went to that exposition without a hope. I expect some  radical crazy and conceptual art, but i really understand the Elliot way to make picture and  it was fun.

'I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!'
Howard Beale-

 Well, as a film student, it is difficult to choose afavorite movie, “the only one“, I think in Orange clockwork or Apocalipses nowor anything made by Kubrick or the Coen brothers. With those movies, I ll never choose one, because that, I decided to talk about “Network“Directed by Sidney Lumet in 1976,  the last movie I saw and that surprised me. 

  There are four actors in stage, Faye Dunaway as the crazy mediatic compulsive journalist of the channel. Robert Duvall (maybe the most famous actor here) as the channel chief, always worry about the rating. William Holden as the news serious journalist,  friend of Howard Beale perform by Peter Finch.

A satirical movie about the television media, an acid review about the television environment with Howard Beale like a angry news reporter, who announces his suicide on TV a live to all north america. Later He envolved into the mass media television in a satirical situation.

 

An example of that, is this sequence days after de announces of his suicide. It s hilarious.

Don`t worry it`s far to be the end of the movie. 

I like this movie, because it’s a funny satirical film about greed, money and mass manipulation. A modern review about the Television and his implications, about power and greed, in the corporative power. Yeah it`s really worth to see this movie.

Portable computer, shit its good

I like technology, its easy to use and work. But it can be such an adiction to the people, like some folks who love his iphone or smartphone, that they cant live without it, even cant go to shit in the bathroom alone, just need the smartphone. I have one, but I just use it to mails o phone calls.

Now, my favorite piece of technology its my macbook pro, is new,I got it like 3 month ago. But its great, I can work easily, with edition, convertion, postprodution and write work (like this one). Its really portable, I had never got a portable computer and its really comfortable, I can work in my table work, in my bed and even in the backyard. i can take it to the college, in case of an emergecy or a need in somes works.

I use to work with my mac while I listen music with my headphone. I use it to see films and series, with headphones too.

Now why I m really relief about this new inversement, its because my old computer was a pretty noise one, like an infernal noise from the ventpipe (no sleep at the night). Now that’s pretty quite, the mac barely have a presence in the room. I can sleep a little more.
