The analog camera

 

  

I have always been impressed about how machines work.Until today  is amazing for me see how a camera can capture a moment of life and make it appear in a photography.


My brother's camera
In the Christmas of 1998, my father gave to my brother Rodrigo a Zenit Camera (Russian Technology), He was thirteen years old and I was five years old, and since that moment we began to take picture of everyone and everything. That was our firt camera. It was really important for us that camera, we used it all day, taking picture of our friends, the family, the pets,the neighborhood, the city and everything we wanted. We used this camera many years, until one day the camera began to have problems with the lens.

This picture was taken with the Zenit Camera


After some years my mom bought a new camera. It was a digital camera, it wasn’t the same that the old camera but it was a camera at all. In that years the digital cameras became popular and so, photos became a everyday thing and lost the magic of the past.

Fortunately, my boyfriend have an analog camera, like my brother's first camera. It's wonderfull take picture with it and remember when I was a child and my and my brother taked picture and pictures...Now I can do the same with my boyfriend.

My favorite band


Today I'm going to write about one of my favorite bands, Calle 13.They are from Puerto Rico and in the last years they had become very popular between young people.The band is comprised of René Pérez "Residente" an his brother Eduardo Cabra "Visitante". René is singer and composer, and Eduardo is composer and multi-instrumentalist. Their sister Ileana Cabra "PG-13" participate in some songs. The band had won a lot of awards, including Latin Grammy Awards and Grammy Awards.
I'd like this band because their songs talk about social injustice, poverty and the situation of Latin America,criticising the system and society. As a famous band they try to show to the world the injustice and inequalities that here exist, something I think it is really important show it, for that people get interested and try do something.


Here is one of my favorite songs of Calle 13, "Latinoamérica"
