Paz Errazuriz




Today I will write and introduce to my favorite photographer: Paz Errazuriz. Paz has been my favorite photographer for many years, I have had visual and reflexive obsessions with her work.
She is considered one of the most outstanding photographers in Chile, she is National Visual Arts Prize. Her work has a special commitment to black and white portraiture, in which she explores various social issues, emphasizing the crudest worlds and trades of Chilean society.
Her latest book is in collaboration with the writer and biologist Jorge Díaz, and it seeks to broaden the discussions from a perspective embodied in blindness, seeks to address blindness as both a metaphor that has occupied art and literature for centuries, as well as a reality that is lived by thousands of people. What I like about Paz is that it captures images that are realistic and at the same time loaded with poetry. Among her best-known series are: The fight against the angel (1987) dedicated to the world of boxing, The apple of Adam (1990) whose theme is the living conditions of transvestites and quick-change chileans, The infarction of the soul (1992-1994 ) composed of images of couples formed in the psychiatric hospital of Putaendo and Los Nómades del Mar (1991-1995) dedicated to the last living representatives of the Kawésqar ethnic group.

Calendulas

I from a very young I like it flowers, in the garden of my granma we cultivated a lot of species. My favorite always were the calendulas, its color I remember to the sun. With pass of the time I learned about to the magic of the calendulas. Its benefits are infinite, help the soil, repel pests, and aid healing. My granma teached me the calendula has powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial properties. When I were girl, she used calendula flower petals to make a healing calendula oil and a soothing salve. To cure cuts, scrapes, bruises, bee stings, insect bites, etc,That’s why I plant calendula in my garden, to remember my granma.

With my friends!

This beautiful photograph was taken in February 2016 in La Paz, Bolivia. With my best friends, all geography students, we decided to travel on our summer vacations, we traveled through Peru and Bolivia, and our last destination before returning to Chile to La Paz. In this picture we are Valentina, me, Mariana and Isidora (from left to right), on one of the most effective public transport in La Paz: the cable cars. I like this photo because it conveys joy and love, we really enjoyed and we were very happy on this trip, it was an experience where we grew up in many ways. Besides, the cable cars trip is one of the most important memories of Bolivia, we loved it because it is a clean transport and the fastest that can be taken to travel in a city like La Paz. It has a very interesting route that is possible to see in all detail from the highest urban transport in the world !! It is really exciting to know this chaotic city from above! When I see this picture, I feel I would like to trave...

Family Meal

Hello! Today I will tell you about a family meal that I remember very fondly. This meal was two years ago in Chillan at the home of a family friend, we were a great group. We met my family and another great family of friends, they all lived in exile in Hungary, it was a way to rediscover and remember those times. We celebrated that after several years without seeing each other, we were the grandmothers, the parents, the children and grandchildren. There was an enormous amount of food. They cooked an exquisite Goulash, a typical Hungarian food that has many hours of cooking in a garn olla, is a stew of meat, potato, carrot, onion ... and of course, paprika! (pimenton). We also drank Pálinka, the hot water typical of Hungary, very strong and with a cherry flavour. Everything was very delicious and transported them to their past!  It was really fun and emotional, in the afternoon we had fun playing in the pool and in the  night , after lunch, we got together to talk about our li...
