This weekend in London

-





Luis sent me these pics, and I loved them. The first one is from a fire that took place in Camden Town in a very old market and it is a pity that a part of it was destroyed... and it is so strange too that the image is so damned beautiful in spite that it is an image of destruction. Fire... many feelings come to me: destruction, fascination, purification, ... and Fire is in love, isn't it?
The next image is also from Camden Town...
The third image focuses in the miniskirt of that tall girl! Luis said he didn't noticed her.... should I believe him? :))))
And the last one is about a chat between a tree and a sculpture... That's London!

A tall girl in a miniskirt? I can barely look at her, the background has too many differences: dark and light...
By the way, I was thinking about fire and about its hypnotism... but in many cases, its damages: a coworker, who lives in the States, has lost his home 2 days ago. He and his family are fine but he is into a deep depression and he has lost everything of his own... Fire destroys, finally.

Darth,

She is the one with the red coat, and she does have a mini mini skirt and looong beautiful legs....she should be my model :)

Yes fire destroys....but only if we let it grow without control... a little fire is always good in our lives, don't you think?

This weekend I went twice to the Royal Academy of Arts to the talks of Mexican Architects.  The first talk on Saturday was by architect Michel Rojkind. It was amazing, I liked very much the friendly and social approach to all of his projects, they are quite innovative and he thinks of people.  He is an excellent story teller and all the public was captured by his talk. He is a people person, and he reflects that in his architecture... the project that impact me the most was the on-site extension of la Cineteca Nacional. I loved this place since I was very young and used to live in Satélite; as I am a film lover remember driving every weekend there. Later I was lucky enough to live in Coyoacan so I travelled there by bike.  I was very impressed by the fact that Rojkind's project involves the whole area of the Cineteca, he includes the Archives in his plan and leaves the old Cineteca building untouched, giving tribute to the history of this old buildi...

A leap of faith

  13 years ago I took a leap of faith and came with my family to London.  I thought it was going to be easy. It was not. I thought that because during my youth I lived in another country, and it was one of the best experiences in my life. That other country was Germany, and since then I longed for Europe, well I confess I still do… because you should know, England is not Europe. Of course this is my very personal view. I was born in Mexico City, a vibrant and chaotic city. Mexico is a surreal beautiful country. When you are abroad you worth it even more. You might wondered then, why did we decide to leave Mexico?  Well, we decided to leave Mexico because my country was becoming very insecure. It was during president Calderon’s failed drug war. Mexico was so violent that we decided to migrate for the sake of our family.  I have been very lucky to be able to travel a lot during my lifetime. When I was a kid, I was two months in China. It was the China of Mao ...
