My favorite picture: Evo+Fidel+Chávez together.




I love this photo because I think that photography should express a lot more than only beauty. For this reason I like the political photography, because it shows symbolic elements of the problems of the society.
This photo was taken in April of 2006 in La Habana, Cuba, in the context of the visit of President of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, and the President of Bolivia, Evo Morales. These Presidents visited to Fidel Castro, in this moment, President of Cuba, for commemorate the first anniversary of ALBA (Alternativa Bolivariana para las Américas).
This organization meets to the countries that are committed whit socialist political project. Also I love this photo because shows the profiles of the leaders of this process. And these profiles are very different, reflecting the personality and style of these Presidents.
In the center of the photo is Fidel Castro, whit a expression experienced that reflecting his long political career. In left Hugo Chavez appears whit a face more young than Fidel, depicts his momentum and strong character. In right appears Evo Morales, the most young of the picture. He is the one who is smiling, and he is who occupies more area.
Other element that I like of this picture is the colors. Hugo Chávez has a red shirt, the symbolic color of the socialist. Fidel Castro has a green shirt, the classic color of the Cuban revolution. Finally, Evo Morales has a white shirt, shows all his youth as a leader.
Other element that I love of this photo is his light. This light shows hope and happiness. This light makes this photo in a party.  
This photo belongs to a news agency.

Vertigo, by Alfred Hitchcock

I like going to the cinema, but I can’t going ever because it is very expensive. For this reason I took a class of film criticism in my University. In this class, teacher gave a list of great movies of the history that I can getting free in the library of my career. Here I found a movie called "Vertigo" by Alfred Hitchcock.
I loved this movie. For this reason I went to rent Blockbuster to view it again.

From there, Vertigo became one of my favorite movies, along with “The inception”, “Fight club” and “El Laberinto del Fauno”.

Vertigo tells the story of a man who suffers for the love of a woman who usurps the identity of another woman.  This woman disappears, but then again with his true identity.

This movie is different because it cannot be classified into any one genre. Vertigo shows elements of drama, comedy and suspense.

I think that this movie hasn’t weak point, because it is a masterpiece.

I think that all persons who love the cine should see “Vertigo”. And then, they should see Psycho, the most famous movie by Alfred Hitchcock

I love my old computer

My favorite piece of technology is my computer. It is very slow and has little memory capacity, but it was my first computer and I love it for that reason. My grandfather bought this computer in 2004, as a Christmas’ gift, since then, I have used it in every day.
 I use my computer for a lot of activities, like upload posts on my blog, review my e-mail and know the last news of my friends on Facebook. Also I use it for read the newspapers and for make my works for the university.
 In synthesis, I could to say that all my life is related with my computer, for that reason I love it, and my life without it would be very bored, slow and disorganized.
But now my brother needs a computer, because he lost his cell phone whit Internet. For this reason, I’m saving  money to buy a new computer.
