This is Toku Konno, a japanese tsunami survivor of March 2011. She has been photographed by Denis Rouvre, a french photographer, portraitist of many famous around the world.
Denis took many photos in Japan of people survived at this tragedy. He made a sitting in studio after the earthquake and tsunami hit that country. This photo is one of those and is third on singles prize of portraits category in World Press Photo, a famous foundation aboutphotojournalism and documentary photography that receives many works of worldsides.
I like it because the face lines are very deep. Her eyes hides many feelings and suffering for the tragedy. I think is very difficult take photos about terrible situations and is more complicated make portraits of this afected people. Sometimes photographers cross the line and choose awful events to make their photos at that very moment. I prefer something like this. Is not necessary for me see destroyed houses and many people crying for tsunami. Im agree with the decision of take the expresion of this oldest woman. Her face say more that Japan on ruins.

I have in my mind a lot of greats movies like Christopher Nolan's films or "Fargo" and "Raising Arizona" of Coen Brothers but today I will talk about the film "Turtles can fly". I don't wanna choose something of Hollywood because they are so famous, so they don't need flattering words by me.
This is a iranian movie of 2004 written and directed by Bahman Ghobadi about Iraq's war against Estados Unidos. The difference in this movie with another war films is in actors. All of them are kids, and they show how live the consequence of violence and abuse for adults that kill for more power.
The story take place in a camp of a little town on Iraq, where children live their innocent days with bombs and mutilated bodies, but they are happy and play with each other.
I love this film because is so hard and delicate at once. Kids are little persons that have rules and hierarchy in the same way as adults are. Those scenes are shocking for a few moments.
About technical terms, photography is wonderful. Places are beautiful but dangerous for these kids who act in the most real performance of their lifes because many of them aren't professional, but they play like facts viewed before.
My father always dreamed have a reflex camera. When I was in the school he brought to me a little compact camera Sony and in this moment I begin to take many pictures in everywhere. Seven years ago it was a amazing camera, but the technology advance very quickly, so my father bring to me last year the best gift of the world: a digital slr camera, brand Nikon.
Now I can work very good because I'm studying to be a filmmaker and this object help me a lot. I use it when I travel, on meeting , in familiar celebrations, in concerts, in university homeworks and sometimes to do little business. This camera is very good because records in Full HD and has high resolution to take a photograph in different light conditions. I like it because it's a incentive from my dad to be best every day.
The only problem is I used my camera and in the future I will not change it for another. Well, only for one better than my camera.
