Spotlight: Held Hostage in Colombia (2008)

Today I am happier because Ingrid, 3 North Americans (those in the video) and 11 other Colombian soldiers were rescued.
Nor too happy to realise that my country is been held hostage not only by guerrilla, but by its own government.

@Rusty4172000, siento mucho decirle que no conozco a la persona que esta en la foto; como fotografa (informal) que soy, uso diferentes maneras de expresar lo que mi cabeza esta cocinando en algunos momentos de mi vida y esta foto es un ejemplo de esto: La foto es realmente una critica a una sociedad como la de Colombia que para que las personas puedan tener exito o ser reconocidas requiere tener una apariencia particular.
Le recomiendo que lea el libro de "Sin tetas no hay paraiso" de Gustavo Bolívar Moreno, de donde esta foto tomo inspiracion.

jaja, pará, q no entendí si el título es por que tiene tetas (lo cual no me parece) o porque ante su falta de tetas, no es un paraiso. Y ello último seria bastante lógico debido al imaginario social de los bogotanos, donde hay un porcentaje enorme de mujeres operadas.
Yo no viaje todavía a Bogota, pero es el comentario que recibo cada vez que viaja algún amigo/ex compañero de la empresa de turismo donde trabajé. Suelen viajar a las Expo-Aviatur, cliente de la empresa...
A mi me parece una barbaridad que les resulte tan importante el tamaño de unas lolas cuando para mi es lo de menos...
Pensando en el resto de las cosas, supongo que es resultado de una competencia entre mujeres, como siempre. Pero en este caso es llevado al extremo. Y ello es un problema enorme que existe en todos los lugares del mundo: las mujeres son muy superficiales.... y después se quejan ante las preferencias de ciertos hombres... q verguenza!

@ Alui....well the "real" one u can get it only in Colombia mainly in a region called "Antioquia" well known cause Pablo Escobar was from there....the people from that region are called "paisas" like to say glasweian from Glasgow...as an example....so paisas make this dish as a typical dish that it is why is called "bandeja paisa"......bandeja means "big" dish....this one I had it in Madrid,,,so actually in the notes I've being a bit critical cause of course in Spain u cannot get every single ingredient as u can get in Colombia.....;P....but even thou it was gooooodddd!!

I love the way Glasgow changes slowly within seasons....every day slightly different colour....and this place (the Italian centre) is a great theme and works as a canvas to show these changes.

Andres Lopez Doing the Bag Pipes with Carlos

Walking by the streets of Madrid, it is very easy to see myriads of Colombians. But, what are the chances of meeting someone you admire? Well, I bumped into Andres Lopez and had the chance of talking to him; This reminded me about some casual encounters I had with Jaime Garzon years ago in Colombia, when I never knew if while talking, he was jocking or not.

Caminando por las calles de Madrid, es muy facil encontrarse con miriadas de colombianos. Pero cuales son las probabilidades de encontrarse con alguien al que tu admiras? \pues bien, yo me encontre con Andres Lopez y tuve la oportunidad de hablar con el; esto me recordo de los encuentros que tuve con Jaime Garzon, agnos atraz en Colombia, cuando nunca supe si lo que hablaba, al igual que Andres, era en serio o en broma.

A Vision of Students Today

a short video summarizing some of the most important characteristics of students today - how they learn, what they need to learn, their goals, hopes, dreams, what their lives will be like, and what kinds of changes they will experience in their lifetime. Created by Michael Wesch in collaboration with 200 students at Kansas State University.

Information R/evolution

This video explores the changes in the way we find, store, create, critique, and share information. This video was created as a conversation starter, and works especially well when brainstorming with people about the near future and the skills needed in order to harness, evaluate, and create information effectively.

Optical Camouflage (Invisible Cloak)

One of the labs in the University of Tokyo uploaded some interesting videos several years ago.
This technology involves neither chroma-keying nor photoshopping but is "quasi-invisibility" using a specific fabric and projector.

Marc Anthony - Tu amor me hace bien

Love this song....!!!! it is one of my favorites ever....

Ravel - Bolero - Daniel Barenboim - Berliner Phil. Pt. 1

I first came a cross this musical piece back in 198...ish when I saw for the first time the movie by Claude Lelouch "les un et les autres".
English title of Bolero in reference to the Maurice Ravel piece heard in film ....since then Bolero by Ravel has become my favourite musical piece of all the time.....

This was the piece Carlos and I (we) choose as a background for our wedding, back in 1996.
