sunny days & good wine!

Days like this, dark and gray, make me sad. Since I'm already tired of waiting, I'd better cheer me up with pictures of a sunny day.

I love the sun, it's like my daily battery and these are just some photos I took of a beautiful vineyard and Château here in Guatemala, just a few minutes away from Antigua. I love it! One Sunday I went to have lunch and fell in love with the place; good food, good wine, good day, what more can you ask?

If the pictures make you crave for more, here I leave the link for you to pay a visit and tell me about it. Hope I made your day a bit shiny.

Bisou,

Ana.

uniforms

clothes for me are a way of expression, they show a personal style or point of view and present it to the surrounding world; it's a form of art and also several times through history it has been used as a symbol of rebellion. no need for time travel, only by watching the latest events in Guatemala city that have been distinguished by the use of white.

So, why the title? Wouldn't uniforms stand for a censorship to our self-expression? Aren't they the very antithesis of freedom to dress up as one wishes? ABSOLUTELY!
... and generally I'm opposed to the use of uniforms because it restricts our autonomy and will, however I have noticed some benefits of uniforms such as:

serving as an icon
help to easy recognition
allow identification with an ideal
a team
a feeling
a group
they make us feel part of a larger goal and we are proud of it
they make our goal seem closer and this explains the contrast of this publication with others.

ok I was running away of tons of work but now I got to get back and return another day.

Enjoy,

Ana.

amaizing pics

hey I got something! for quite soooome days I have received pics or links of Guatemalans who, like me, like to show and express their personal point of view. So this post is about other people pictures. Hope you like it and comment to support the Guatemalan art.

the first one and these other are pictures of a super friend who took them for a design class,
but I truly believe they show a different perspective of Antigua
Some of the oldest ... these are some of Bianca and her serie invisible
these are of a friend who just started his course of photography... how about?


and finally I left a small sample of super professional photos.
For more info visit the author's page, who I had pictured before in my contemporary artists post.

well that's it, tell me what you think, if you have your own photos send them, and more important support art.

have a nice weekend,

Ana.

a change in the wind

hey there... i think to all of us who love Guate, this whole scandalous situation of the past days has really affected us. So I will take this post to remind you that there are not only thieves and crooks. We are good, honest and working people.
After showing you that we know how to fight for what we want and work to archieve our goals I leave you photos of a walk that went against polio in our country.

Courage!

Lets go ahead & support the good things of Guatemala.

xo,

Ana.

secret career

All my life I have had a dream career secret, many are wondering what is this? wel, it's a job that I have always wanted to be but I've never done.. And what's mine? Street-sweeper! yep! hehe! already told! that idea has always fascinated me, i dunno if an old Cantinflas movie I saw as a child has something to do or i don't know... And now I have come to meet a man who inspired me, besides he working as my dream career, he does it amazingly: singing, half dancing and blessing everyone around him!
I present you Mr. Miguel García a really inspiring man, just meeting him made my day glad. I hope you find your inspiration. Good día!
