Selkman and photomontage

In my free time I really enjoy surfing on internet, looking for new music, movies, and photographers. Blogs seem to be a paradise, in which you can find everything you want. This weekend I discover a blog called  "Un viaje increible" (this is the link) the blog is written by Matias Callone, an Argentine adventurer that  decided  to  travel and take photos around the world. In a post he uploaded photomontages about  the Argentine Patagonia and Selkman. This week I´m going to write about this photomontage.

Photomontage is a technique of producing a composite picture by combining several photographs. In this case, historics Selkman´s  photos with new photos taken by Matias.

This photo was taken in Ushuaia, capital of Provincia de Tierra del Fuego, Antártica and Islas del Atlántico Sur in Argentina.

 In this photo you can admire the virginal twilight landscape, and a Selkman´s family in their canoe.

Matias'  photos make me think about our ancestors and their history. 

I like to imagine how life would have been in America if the Spanish conquerors hadn´t  destroyed all.

I think that this type of photomontages are necessary to make us think about the relationship between art and  memory.

A dreamer

Nowadays it has been a period of fighting among those that believe in their ideas and those who only have been searching for excuses to answer different demands. So, the power and the pacifism are in struggle to have the right. 

If i try to understand pacifism as to assume that everything that is happening is right i am just a puppet inside society without ideals! every human been has the right to ask for demands he thinks are correct, and nobody should believe that a government has to use violence against people that fight for their rights and ideas of justice.

No politician has been able to give any answer to students demands. No one has been able to think how poverty can be changed, but we had to listen to a  politician who said that you can eat whit a ridiculous amount of money.

I am a dreamer. I must say that i believe that one day we will live in a real democracy and we won´t run in order not to be caught by those who think that have the power.
