The first day with him!

He is my life.

We met him one current day in front of my house with our friends of the place. I thought that he was very handsome, sympathetic and attentive, but I never said anything because he had a girlfriend and one baby. I followed with my life and he with his life. In a lot of time we didn’t saw again and I was very worried for him. One day I saw him in the place in front of my house and I went there.

We spoke a lot of time and he said all what happened in his life. His girlfriend was a very bad women and he did bad things with three boys different. He was shattered.

He started to cry and he looked me in the eyes and in this moment I felt something in my chest. Maybe that was the love, but in that moment I didn’t knew anything. I could only see his eyes. They were so fantastic. I had the need to kiss him but he was the first in do the step.

That was magic. And of that moment we are together and more happy than in the past, this is important.

Prize-winning photo.

This is a photo of Cristóbal Manuel. He was won the prize Ortega y Gasset de Periodismo Gráfico in 2011. It was taken in Haiti. This photo reflects the harmony and solitude of the human being in a chaotic environment and hopeless.

I will go to describe you this photo from foreground to background because in the foreground there is the most important thing but for that has mean, its necessary all that you see in the background. In the center or middle of foreground there is a boy who is affected by earthquake in Haiti. He is walking without clothes and he is back to the photographer. This boy has black skin.

Finally, in the background there is the scene that makes us understand the meaning of the photo. In the bottom there are ruins caused by earthquakes its show us the poverty, misfortune, ruin which has become Haiti  since the earthquake.

Biography

Michael Christopher Brown was raised in the Skagit Valley, a farming community in Washington State. Often using a camera phone as a primary recording device, his current work explores the ongoing conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In Sakhalin (2008), he captured the remote Russian island, while Broadway (2009) focused on New Yorkers amidst the financial crisis. He also put together a series of works from road and train trips throughout China (2009/2010) and, in 2011, documented the Libyan Revolution using a camera phone, exploring ethical distance and the iconography of warfare. He contributes in the National Geographic Magazine, Time and The New York Times Magazine. His photographs were exhibited at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Instituto Cervantes (New York), The Museum of Fine Arts (Houston), the Annenberg Space for Photography and the Brooklyn Museum. His forthcoming book, Libyan Sugar, will be published in 2014 by Twin Palms Publishers.

Photo:

I describe this photo from the background to the foreground because the most importantly things are in the foreground and I let that for the end.

-      In the foreground you can see some things. In the upper part you can see fuzzy clouds and, with difficulty you can see a mountain.

-      In front of that there are some trees.

-      In the central part, there is a green principal big tree. And with that there is a one black person.

-      In the middle of picture there is a dirt track where there is the most important piece of the picture, the black girl who has a boy in the back.

Quote:

This is an only quote that I found. I think this quote is for our time because the importantly thing today is the true mean of photography without the importance of the style of camera, etc.
