(It’s fun to see how I’ve evolved as a photographer and in shooting these festivals. Granted the recent San Pedro was during the day and had good natural light, but there is a clear improvement, which is kinda the point eh?)

Monday Memories – Clint Montgomery

Spoiler alert: This post is sad.
Soon after my brother died, I began to fear time. Everyone reassured me that only time could heal the pain, so I went along with it. But deep down, it was my enemy, each day taking me further away from my only brother. I feared I would forget him….
And here we are, 11 years later. I realize that I never had anything to fear. He will never be forgotten. It’s as John Steinbeck said in To a God Unknown:
“Life cannot be cut off quickly. One cannot be dead until the things he changed are dead. His effect is the only evidence of his life. While there remains even a plaintive memory, a person cannot be cut off, dead. And he thought, ‘It’s a long slow process for a human to die. We kill a cow, and it is dead as soon as the meat is eaten, but a man’s life dies as a commotion in a still pool dies, in little waves, spreading and growing back toward stillness.’” Continue reading Monday Memories – Clint Montgomery

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Tuesday, September 8, 2009
Hot soup containing beef or chicken with a potato, a corncob, carrots and possibly other vegetables with some rice: Cazuela, a typical Chilean dish. How about a steak covered with grilled onions and French fries topped off with a fried egg: “a la pobre.” Completos, a hot dog on a fresh baked roll with tomatoes, sauerkraut, avocado and mayonnaise, or empanadas, filled with various ingredients…this is Chilean cuisine.

Heat, salt, and endless blue skies define San Pedro de Atacama; it is a place of grand scale beauty, unfathomable until you have seen it with your own eyes. Continue reading Monday Memories – Atacama

Monday Memories – Winter…
Though not like my former West Virginia winters, snowy and icy, it still gets quite cold here in Santiago. Well, you say, days where the high could be in the forties, the low just below freezing isn´t that bad…and you´re right, in comparison it´s not. HOWEVER, the States has this lovely little cozy convenience of central heating, far from the norm here in Chile. Heating is expensive, so we just bundle up and deal with it instead. My normal at-home garb: Leggings, sweat-pants on top; socks, fleece socks over those; a shirt with a fleece on top and generally a scarf. My bed has six blankets and I still get cold. Needless to say, I´m looking forward to my two-week visit in the States this August!!

Monday Memories – Bailamos!
So I dedicate this Monday memory to the love for Latin rhythm. The phlog shows its age though, as I have since been to this club and it is not really a place I would recommend. Seriously, don’t go to Club 4-40. As I wrote in an article for work, there are so many other places in the city to dance. ¡Bailamos!
One, two, three…and one, two, three….
