094 - MADRID II (TODOS LOS SANTOS)

Todos los Santos changes and the 2th becomes the day of the souls, Día de los Muertos. Today I had lunch with some of my family, the family that I still have from my biological father, and we all said goodbye and because we are sort of loud but not overly sentimental some things my aunt said surprised me a lot. And I'm happy because due the divorce and my biological father estrangement I always feel sort of alone on these occasions, even if I know it's not intentional, I'm always on my own when I'm with them. My mum has, obviously, another life now and my brother has distanced himself, so the family bonds I have when I'm with them are somewhat thinner... and that feels lonely. It's quite curious I can be social and talkative, but I have these spells were I just disconnect, and my mind goes elsewhere; I'm the quiet girl, the good girl, so, a lot of times I don't know if they even like me as I don't engage all that much. And today I felt appreciated and valued by my aunt, and understood. And that's a wonderful feeling. 

Enjoy the change that comes from autumn, and enjoy your families, doesn't matter the form they have. 

093 - MADRID I

San Jeronimo el Real, Madrid (2013).

087 - from the same perspective

This is what happens when you let me up on the observation tower with a camera: I go nuts and the nice people who use all digital look at me weird because they hear the click-and-wirr sound that my analogic makes. I like my corner.

085 - Breakfast with a friend

One of the things that I adore is having meals with my friends; not surprisingly, breakfast, brunch, whatever you want to call it, is one of my favorites. Last weekend a friend of mine, and one of the loveliest people I know, came from Girona so we could go to a Block Party + Escort concert at Razzmatazz. We stayed up dancing until 4 or 5 in the morning and we slept wonderfully. Next morning we woke fantastic, no joke, despite the amount of gin & tonics we drank, so we went to brunch-breakfast together. It was sunny and warm, you know those bright days were is almost  mandatory to stay outside? that's how it felt. 

I love those kind of sundays.

080 - Cotidiano

Everyday life. It's hills and houses and green. City living is a very curious thing.

079 - on the russian track again

I've been trying to catch the contrast of green against concrete, city plants and trees. I don't think of it as a series but it will certainly be a theme. 

ZenitB again. Complete love.

074 - Portraits I

I'm cleaning up (my flickr, my blog, etc.), I'll keep at it for while, I guess, same as I'm doing with the rest of my everyday things. Spring cleaning for a big chance. 

Also, I have to return my Olympus, my uncle wants it back, so I'm window shopping for another second hand film camera... and there's so many! Any recomendations?

073 - Up close...

The last time I went to my friend's country house, I couldn't help being panoramic, I took this scenery photos because the view is always spectacular. This time I decided to be more personal if I could, more intimate, and to try something I'm not really all that comfortable, the vertical. I was lucky though, because the light was simply amazing. They feel much more like me.
