“… and then i asked him with my eyes to ask again yes
And then he asked me would I yes…
And first I put my arms around him yes
And drew him down to me so he could feel my breasts all perfume yes
And his heart was going like mad
And yes I said yes I will yes.”
James Joyce
That’s the quote that begins the photobook “the family of man”. And I never could understand what did that means. My godmother give us that book in December 2000. And I just loved it. I was eight years old, and I love to imagine the histories behind the pictures. The picture that I choose is from the “love part”, but the book also has some really hardcore pictures. Is like a complete view to the humanity, from the shots of lots of greats photographers.
The one that I pick was taken by Robert Doisneau, a frech fotographer. He used to walk around the streets of Paris with his leika. Like he said:
“The marvels of daily life are so exciting; no movie director can arrange the unexpected that you find in the street."
I don’t know exactly when was this picture taken, is around the 30’s I think.. He took lots of kisses photos ( you could google him and you’ll see). But I love this one. I always love to see it like if it was the first time, and I used to saw the kid first, then the lady, and then I tried to find what she was looking. And there’s the kiss. And, maybe now I will say tons of corny thing, but I love the way that they are like hidden, apart from the rest, like a not important part of the picture. But, they are the picture. And maybe that’s why this it my favorite kiss since eleven years.

Free time
I can’t speak about only a free time (almost all my blog post start in the same way). Because I have a lots of ways to feel that im enjoying a sparte time. Now, because I’m to tired to think about sometiçhing better, I’m going to make a kind of list, with a “definition”.
The real spare time: that’s when I am on holidays, and I don’t have anything (and when I say anything I’m really meaning it). In that case, I used to sleep like 25 hours every day, or just to be in my bed thinking about everything, and it’s boring, because It’s an excess of free time,and I get tired because I don’t do nothing at all. That one is the “ February free time”, when I’ve just arrived to Santiago, and the city is empty.
“I’m just finished the school/university “ kind of free time: During the year, I think all the time about what I’m going to do when I go out from vacations. In that time, I supouse to read a lot of books (just because I want to!) watch movies, go to the cinema, meet with some friends, go out on the city, or just sleep. But is the best moment ever, when I feel that I have time, and how to enjoy it.
The “guilty” spare time: that happened to me every week, when I want to watch series (especially glee, gossip girl and how I met your mother). In that occasions, I have the computer on my bed, and the things that I have to read hidden under my bed.
