My favourite piece of technology


My favorite piece of technology in this time is my DSLR Camera Sony. I bought it two months ago and it's become in a very important piece of my time. I try to take a lot of photos, of nature, people, the city and obviously my favorites are my son's pictures. This weekend I took a lot of pictures in the Panul's Forest, which is ubicated in The Andes foothills and also I took pictures in The Nacional Reserve Río Clarillo, located in the Pirque's Town. Recently, I enjoy very much take photographs of native Flora and Fauna of Chili, because it is amazing know and see our natural resources and its better when you can see it by yourself.

I use this camera as often as I can, frequently in the weekends, when a I have time to go out and look for some places rich in nature near to Santiago.

Before this camera, I used a conventional Digital Camera Sony, and used habitually, but I didn’t had the quality of my new DSLR Camera, that’s the reason that I had to bought it, and I think that was a very good inversion.


This is the Panul's Forest, in La Florida.

This is a photo of a native flora in Panul's Forest, its called Mask Flower, and its scientific name is Alonsoa meridionalis.

In Panul's Forest we also can see wall lizards, like this one, The Liolaemus tenuis.

This flower we can see it in Panul's Forest too, and its scientific name is Phycella bicolor.

The Nacional Reserve Río Clarillo is amazing place, you can see native flora and fauna and also you can have a picnic, because you have the infrastructure to do it.

This flower is known like "coxinea" in Río Clarillo and its scientific name is Collomia biflora.

Now, when I can see the pictures that I took, I can´t imagine my life without my travels taking pictures of native Flora and Fauna in Chili, or in an others countries in the future, I hope travel a lot and keep going taking photos of our amazing planet, and also obviously taking pictures of my little boy Agustín.

This is my little boy Agustín.

I think that I don't have a favourite movie and it's very difficult for me chose one. So, I've choosen two ahahaha. The first one it's called 25th Hour or "La última hora", directed by Spike Lee, and protagonized by Edward Norton. This movie it's about a man, who was sentenced to prison because he was a drug dealer. The all movie it's about the last night in freedom, because in the next morning he had to appear to prison. This last night was full of memories, meetings between his father and friends and show the last day of his privileges that he obtained like a trafficker, priviliges that he lost because he was denounced.
I like very much this movie because is amazing the history, the turn of the life of Monty (Edward Norton) when he had everything and then he lost all, girlfriend, friends, privileges, etc. I saw this movie 4 years ago, when a was looking for Spike Lee's movies.




The next movie that I wanna share with you it's called He Got Game or "El Juego Sagrado" and it is also directed by Spike Lee and protagonized by Denzel Washington and Ray Allen, who is a NBA star. In the movie, Jesus (Ray Allen) is a young student who have the chance to go to university thanks to a sport grant. He is a young promise of Basketball, and also is great brother, because he had to live like a brother and father since his father killed accidentally his mother and was sentenced to prison. His life will take a major turn when his father in exchange for the commutation of his sentence, try to convince him to sign a contract with the governor's favorite team.
I like this movie because i like very much the basketball, and also is a flashy history since the point of view a dramatic film, it is a broken family history, the life of the protagonist have a social pression to be someone more than his peer and help his little brother. I saw this movie many years ago, I don't remeber exactly when, but I think it was like 10 years ago aproximately, I saw it in Showbiz Channel, a cable televison channel that today doesn't exist.
