U**1-En

During the time passed since my first and last post I was horrified by the destruction of our history and culture. Also shocked by the statements made by our Venezuelan Beauty Ambasadress on her latest visit, which made me question my decision to return to my home country... but such questioning got dissolved by the first rain drops of this "evercloudy" sky and the stubborn 10 degrees.

I was suffocated by the human stupidity to the point of wanting to change planet. I left the Facebook group "Fotografos de Venezuela" (Photographers from Venezuela) and their weekly competition since I understood I am not a photographer, I am trying to learn about it (photography, that is) and I cannot stand a group whose members seem to praise each other and denigrate the less "professionals". I have had enough of discriminations and destructive criticism and I am not willing to bear any elitisms any more. I want to consider myself as gregarious (and I making efforts to become more of it) and those who are humble, admit they are not perfect and accept others imperfections, are the ones I will easily have a chat with. The remainder, may as well go somewhere else for their group mass-turbation.

However, I upload some pics to the Flickr group Yo Tambien as my humble contribution to this month theme. But, I have to admit these are old pics, so I will have to shoot newer images during this month that explain "why I love my city". Such a difficult task since it is the coldness (from people and wheater) of this place one of the reasons for my decision to leave. I will try reformulate the theme as "the things I still like about this city"... let's see what comes up.

I was surprised by Susan Boyle just seconds after I saw my own human misery unfolding in front of me: I had judged her by her look. All of which confirmed that I am a being of these times: times ruled by "how you look is who you are".

An finally, as part of my yearly strategy to survive the English weather, I performed my first quaterly "outing" to a more "human" weather: Fuerteventura, Canary Islands, where my only brother lives. The pics are from Majanicho, a fishing town: I hope to retire to a place like this someday.

U**1-Es

Durante el tiempo transcurrido desde mi primer y ultimo post me horrize con la destruccion de nuestra historia y cultura, con las declaraciones de la representante de la belleza venezolana, lo que me hizo titubear respecto a mi decision de regresar (que explicare con mas detalles en futuros posts)...pero tal titubeo desaparecio con las primeras gotas de lluvia de el cielo "siemprenublado" y los 10 grados que se niegan a subir.

Me sofoque con la estupidez humana al punto de desear mudarme de planeta. Abandone el grupo en Facebook de "Fotografos de Venezuela" y su concurso semanal por que entendi que no soy fotografa, que intento aprender de eso, y que no puedo soportar un grupo cuyos miembros parecen autoalabarse entre si y atacar a los menos "profesionales". De discriminaciones y criticas destructivas ya he tenido suficiente y no estoy dispuesta a soportar mas elitismos. Intento ser gregaria (y hago esfuerzos por serlo cada vez mas) y aquellos cargados de humildad, que se reconocen imperfectos y que estan dispuestos a aceptar la imperfeccion de otros son aquellos con los que mas facilmente me sentare a conversar. El resto que vaya a masturbarse en grupo a otro lado.

En cambio, subi unas fotos al grupo de Flickr Yo Tambien como mi contribucion al tema de este mes. Pero no son las fotos mas actuales, asi que tendre que tomar fotos durante este mes que comuniquen el "por que amo" a esta ciudad. Tarea nada facil considerando que es mi disgusto por la frialdad (de clima y humana) de esta ciudad una de las razones de mi decision de regresar a Venezuela. Voy a reformularme el tema planteando "cuales son las cosas que todavia me gustan" de esta ciudad. Y a ver que sale...

Me sorprendi con Susan Boyle solo despues de abrirse ante mi nuevamente mi lado humano miserable: la juzgue por su apariencia. Lo que tristemente me confirma como ser de mis tiempos: tiempos regidos por "el que como te ves es lo que eres".

Y finalmente, como parte de mi estrategia de sobreviviencia en el clima ingles que repito cada anho, cumpli con mi primera salida trimestral esta vez por una semana a un clima mas "humano": Fuerteventura, en las Islas Canarias, donde vive mi unico hermano. Las fotos muestran el pueblo pesquero de Majanicho: a un lugar asi espero retirarme algun dia.

Nos vemos pronto...
