A few weeks ago I was for two days taking pictures and recording videos in an artistic intervention of an abandoned buttons factory here in Buenos Aires, a great time, very good artist, very good place, with the best organization of the girls of “Algún Lado“.
In may I traveled to France to the marriage of a friend and enjoy doing some sightseeing in the south, in la campagne and then in l’Île de Ré on the atlantic coast.
The Cemetery includes graves of some of the most influential and important Argentinians, including several presidents, scientists, and wealthy characters. Internationally, Eva Perón is the best-known person buried in this cemetery.
The entrance to the cemetery is through neo-classical gates with tall Greek columns. The cemetery contains many elaborate marble mausoleums, decorated with statues, in a wide variety of architectural styles. The entire cemetery is laid out in sections like city blocks, with wide tree-lined main walkways branching into sidewalks filled with mausoleums.
While many of the mausoleums are in fine shape and well-maintained, others have fallen into disrepair. Several can be found with broken glass and littered with rubbish.
Each mausoleum bears the family name etched into the facade; brass or bronze plaques are added to the front for particular family members. La Recoleta is one of those cemeteries where the tradition of engraving a death date but no birth date has been maintained.
These are some pictures taken with my new Canon EOS 7D, I’m spending a season in my favorite city, San Francisco, California, where there are very good street art, perfect for photography, I hope you enjoys them.
After reviewing my options I decided to spend some time in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 2010.
I will do some studies of art direction and build on and expand my professional horizons.
Last week, spend a few magnificent days there, doing my enrollment in college and preparing the move, here are some photos, will post more information later.
My good friend Monica Carrero is doing many things lately, she is doing very nice web sites under the name Cereza Web, and has its own brand of handbags and accessories with handmade illustrations Las Cosas de Hule, very cute too.
