Run Run


It's been a while since I last saw this video,by Those Dancing Days which I fell in love with. But really a while, maybe a year, I found it through Black Eiffel. It just makes me happy, the song is very catchy, and the girls just keep jumping, having fun. It is until now that I find out who directed it, Daniel Eskils, so beautiful photography too. Have fun fun!...

You too...


You hear some music, and find it familiar, how could it be? this colorful frames, characters in illustration, fun lines and colors, and still very true stories. A lovely way to promote a song, this is the new single of U2, "I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight".
Directed by David OReilly, who used the songs themes and lyrics to create multiple, parallel stories about people who decide to make a change in their lives. Enjoy!.

A Unique Eye



Each an every one of us has one, when it comes to pick a place or theme, a thing, a space where to take a picture. It is lovely to see beautiful work, but at only fifteen, I must say Olivia Bee has not only talent, but a gift. Her self portraits are precious.

Todos tenemos un "ojo 煤nico" al momento de representar un espacio, idea, sentimiento, un lugar para hacer una fotograf铆a. Es genial poder ver buen trabajo, pero con solo quince a帽os, Olivia Bee no solo demuestra su talento, sino su don. Sus autoretratos son preciosos.

In the Moment



So, the King of Pop is gone. My best friend Ivette sent me these pictures, her dad happen to be in New York at that time, so he took some pictures of the beloved Apollo Theater and it's homage to Michael. I cherish this pics so deeply, not only for what they represent, but because of the one person who was behind the camera at that moment, in that place. Thanks Mr. T! You are definitively one of my true icons.

El Rey del Pop se ha ido. Mi mejor amiga, Ivette, me mand贸 estas fotos, su padre estaba en New York cuando pas贸, y por sugerencia de su preciosa hija fue al querido Apollo Theater a hacer fotos, aprovechando el homenaje a Michael. Guardo estas fotos con mucho cari帽o no solo por su contenido, sino por la persona detr谩s de la c谩mara en ese momento, en ese lugar. ¡Gracias Sr. T! es usted definitivamente uno de mis 铆conos.

Window Films



Finally got the time to put the gorgeus Emma Jeffs window film that I purchased last month. I'm redecorating our sudio, or I must say, the little corner that we have for it, we have so much stuff, lots of organizing and cleaning. Well better late than never!, one step done, now we can enjoy the light in our living room. It is so beautiful!.

Estoy en proceso de decoraci贸n de nuestro estudio, m谩s bien del peque帽o rinc贸n de casa que utilizamos para ello. Hay tantas cosas que organizar y limpiar, al menos he completado ya una tarea. Ha quedado precioso! Ahora podemos disfrutar de la hermosa luz en nuestro sal贸n.

Laptop Club


I got to the office this morning and did the usual, grabbed a cup of coffee and started my daily look into my favorite blogs, usually I take some minutes to explore and look for new concepts, inspiration, gorgeous work from great designers.
After bumping from link to link I found this article about the Laptop Club. So fancy, what is it? a bunch of e-profesionals with sophisticated machines, a mac air user maybe?. Well, no, this club members are from seven to nine years old, and they don't use any computer for their activities.
This is a program from one school, they create their own laptops with construction paper and pretend to email each other. I was amazed with the buttons they drew, I mean one even put an HP trivia key (Harry Potter), a Math key, Movies, of course shop key, one drew an ipod (this is my favorite! imagine a laptop with an ipod in the keyboard!).
I'm always amazed about the capability of kids, they're so sensitive they learn so much, so quickly, so in this internet life, we most click to the ON mode our parental key and keep up with them.

Esta ma帽ana llegu茅 a la ofi y empec茅 mi rutina, una taza de caf茅 y estoy lista! Me tomo unos minutos para explorar la web, paseo por mis blogs favoritos y de enlace en enlace, colecciono sitios que me sirven de inspiraci贸n.
As铆 llegu茅 a ver un art铆culo sobre el Laptop Club. Qu茅 es? Un grupo de profesionales con equipo sofisticado? Usuarios "mac air" tal vez? Pues no, este grupo est谩 formado por ni帽os de entre siete y nueve a帽os.
Como parte de un programa, una escuela primaria re煤ne a estos peque帽os para hacer su propio ordenador port谩til, sin otra herramineta que el papel de color. Una vez creado, pretenden enviarse e-mails.
Qued茅 impresionada con la selecci贸n de teclas que dibujaron, uno puso inlcuso una tecla HP trivia (Harry Potter); bot贸n de matem谩ticas, bot贸n de compras (claro!), otro puso un ipod (este es mi favorito! imag铆nense una laptop con un ipod en el teclado!).
Constantemente me sorprende la habilidad que tienen los ni帽os para aprender y demostrar su versi贸n de las cosas, no solo es creativa sino tambi茅n muy original. Creo que en esta vida con internet debemos activar la opci贸n parental de nuestro teclado y seguirles el paso (muy de cerca).
