Today is Dia de la Memoria, another public holiday. If it weren’t for my school, this day would probably have passed like any other Sunday. Quiet, relaxing. But exactly on this day we were send out by our teacher of ‘fotoreportaje’ (something like photojournalism) to shoot this event. First of…

Ok. This is of course a subject that can’t be missed. We have a new pope. He is Argentine. I am an immigrant in Argentina. So he is kind of ‘my pope’. Although I really didn’t see it like that at all, quite on the contrary. I was out having…

The holidays are over, the new year has begun. Summer has started. And, Buenos Aires is empty. How a huge city like this, always so busy and loud, can become so quiet and empty in such a short period has always been a mystery to me. Right now the city…

Its Christmas eve. If you now imagine yourself a dark day, possibly snow outside, cold, the open fire, a huge christmas tree, lights, candles, the whole family present-including even your mother in law-, and a turkey, then you are mistaken. Today is probably the hottest day of the year. One…

Did it ever happen to you, when you were at a concert, that at the end, when the singer says thank you and goodbye, the audience does not start yelling, clapping and begging for a 2nd round of songs, but instead, ‘en masse”, turn their heads towards the exits and…
