Lomo chile and the return of the analogue photography



Since a few years the analogue photography has taken over the photographic scene in the world. All begun in 1984, when a few frinds found in prague a LOMO LCA, a camera that was cheap and easy to use. They were very interested in the camera and search for the manufacturer, but the camera was discontinued. So the bought the Factory that made the cameras and that’s it, that’s how everything started. The philosophy behind lomo is that everyone can take pictures, doesn’t matter if the situation is important or not, just shoot! The Lomo movement had “embassys” all around the world, the chilean “embassy” begun its activities in 2004. There they sell everything that a analogue photography fan needs. Rolls, analogue cameras; such as, multilens cameras and more, camera accesories and the store has a film developing service. The Lomo movement is just gonna grow and nothing can stop it!

Zombie Walk 2013!



Yesterday finally the Zombie Walk 2013 was make in Santiago. According to the official counting of the organization there were more than 30,000 infected people on the north road of the Alameda. The walk begun in Plaza Italia and went through almost half of the Alameda and the course end in Parque Almagro, there, the people could enjoyed some live music (Chancho en Piedra and other great bands) different kinds of food (like thematic cupcakes, zombies, vampires and scary stuffs) ,and entertainment. This year thematic was Circus (we all know that clowns can be very scary, imagine a zombie one) but you could go like any kind of zombie, even as a resistance member (with big guns and everything.) The people that went dress up like a zombie also act as one, for example, people that went to the Zombie Walk just as an observer or member of the press, they scare the hell out of them. Growling and screaming at them. 

These are some of the pictures that I took that day 


These guys went dress up like Harley Quinn and The Joker, zombified! 





This Zombie Clown scare the shit out of me, it was my favorite!





There were many children, this shows that was a very fun family activity!

Race for the second place: Matthei, Parisi, and ME-O



A few days ago the ANP (Press National Association) debate held in Coquimbo with some interesting things that I want to talk about. First of all the absence of Michelle Bachelet, the soon-to-be next president of the Republic of Chile, she says that he has some agenda problems and once again we couldn’t heard her proposes on a national debate with all the other candidates, a pity. Secondly, and what I think is the most remarkable thing about the debate, there were many disputes between the candidates that are fighting the second place in the elections: Evelyn Matthei, Franco Parisi, and Marco Enríquez-Ominami. ME-O interpellate the role of Evelyn Matthei as a minister of the Sebastian Piñera government and how she is going to do all the things that she promise if she succeeded as a president but why she didn’t do it as a minister? Matthei answer in a very ironic way if she will going to ask help to Parisi in the eventuality of a ballot, she said that Parisi is not going to be anywhere. Finally Parisi said that is very hard to believe all the promises that Matthei and her party made if they don’t even accomplished all the promises that the Piñera government made. The race is on!
