NYC shades of grey...

in a city like that, everything seems to catch your attention...

Crazy buzy week! (loving it, btw!)
Hope you don't mind the NYC shots...

"There's enough metaphysics in not thinking about anything.

What do I think about the world?

I don't know what I think about the world!"

(Alberto Caiero) 

(I found this old Pessoa's - my favorite poet - book while I was cleaning my bedroom this week...)

One way or another...

"I love everything that has been

Everything that no longer is

The pain that does not hurt me anymore

The old and mistaken faith 

The yesterday that the pain left

What joy left

Just because it was, and flew

And today is already another day."

(Fernando Pessoa)

hit the road jack...

Now I can say, for a fact, that I've been to the middle of nowhere... 
road trip is the greatest! 
I used to think that GPS took a bit of the fun of big maps all over and getting lost, but this trip came to prove me wrong in every single way.


I've fallowed a house, yes, a HOUSE for about 40 miles with almost no gas in the middle of the corn fields of mississipi... GPS took me to take a dive into the river, instead of taking the brand new bridge... overcame trucks bigger than the lane I was supposed to drive in... was stopped by the sheriff car so the largest vehicle ever could cross right in the middle of the road... sow mini tornados while driving with no cars beside me...
all that, added to a great landscape and a lot of music.
could't it be any better?


here are some shots of Clarcksdale (home of the blues) and Route 61, the music highway...

"I read the news today oh boy...

about a lucky man who made the grade!"


it's bizarre, sometimes, this blogosphere... At the end of my week I caught myself thinking a lot about Inga... 
Unlike her, I did not have the guts to take a leap of faith, but destiny took care of it for me.
Four months ago I lost my job, and this week, out of the blue, I got the greatest opportunity I could ever imagine...


life does leads its on way sometimes.


Hope you all had a great week...
music?

And New Orleans in black and white film...
(sorry but now you'll have to put up with all my pics from the road trip... lol)

arriba!

Almost one moth after the end of the trip I start sharing the pictures I just got developed... 
unemployment does not suits my urge for non digital photography. :o/

Living on borrowed time...

... without a thought for tomorrow!


it is nice to show your home town to people, specially when you were not born in the most turistic of places (well, actually my city is the least turistic place on earth)... But yet, you get to experience it as if it was something new and exciting... Almost as if you were borrowing someone else's eyes and background.
No matter where you live, I strongly recommend!
