In the past weeks some of my pics have been featured by three different wonderful and kind artist here.

I've said thanks personally to all of them, but I want to do it here as well, by posting their kind links.

Sorry if I'm submitting something a little bit local whitin this global village.

Yesterday my beloved Latinamerica, and so our global village, lost one of the most beautiful and powerfull voices.

Mercedes Sosa (La Negra) was born argentinian, but she was a true citizen of the world. She was not just a very important figure of the music, but also one of the greatest icons for every single human being wishing for justice, freedom, peace.

As I've seen along this day, she has been mouned not just in our Latinamerican countries, but worldwide. And as I've seen, and as I feel, the grief for her passing is deep; I sense a feeling of orphans among latinamericans right now.

Thank you so much Negra, for all you gave, for all you changed, for having done more than enough. You'll be missed.

Hoy hay un sentimiento de orfandad entre los latinoamericanos.

My clubs:

As I've promised, the deviation 1000 in my page has been submited today.

As I feared, just two votes were recived in the past journal in order to chose the 1000 deviation.

Anyway, I hope my watchers to enjoy the pic.


My clubs:

UPDATE!!!! LASTS HOURS TO VOTE!!!!!

In my last journal I was "mind-wandering" with the fact that my next submission will be my 1,000 deviation.

I've choosen three pictures among all the material I have here, and one of them is going to be the 1,000 deviation.

But I want my watchers to call the choice.

Since I'm just a pauper not-subscribed worm of the dirt, I can't post a real poll in my account, so we're going to solve in here.

The pics I have are:
1. A huge, delicate, elegant and deadly jellyfish of the seas, dancing on the blue.
2. A bunch of thirsty, exhultant, different sized elephants, bathing in the mud.
3. A little child in a very small and poor village in Africa.

I ask you, all my watchers, to vote for one of the pics by comment to this journal. The votes will be open until september the 12th. And I'll post the choosen one the very next day.

I hope that this is not finishing with two or three votes in the basket, so... make your call!!!

Thanks a lot!

I've submited 999 deviations so far along this years in DA. Next one will be the 1000 (Really, Mr. Math?) and I want it to be a real good one... I'll try it to be a real good one.

I know I'm far from being as good as I want, or should. And may be half of the pictures here should be, if most, in the scraps folder, or out of the site. But I've choosen them for one reason or another in the moment. Which reason? Maybe the word "moment" is that reason.

If you have been watching me long enough, then you know what's my attitude towards digital manipulation (and at times digital images, despite of the fact that lately I've been working with my digital cam instead of the film camera... since the film camera is "out of service" and is getting quite hard to find someone who can fix it... yes, thanks again f**king digital art). Part of that attitude comes from the fact that I've been lucky enough to watch so many wonders in this world; I remember one of the final scenes of Blade Runner, when one of the characters, in his final moments, remembers all the wonders he witnessed and regrets that after his passing, all that memories will be lost. I've witnessed so many wonders as well, so many magical moments, at least to me. And my camera has been there to helping me keeping that moments; so, not all of them will be lost along time. And since I try to capture MOMENTS, I'll never dare to manipulate nothing... that'll mean changing that true moment I've captured... and in that way the moment will be, in fact, lost.

Maybe my pics could be so much better by enhancing them by digital manipulation. I'd get so much better results. But the prize to pay for being somehow better would be losing all those moments... and to me is so high to pay.

I'll better try harder to improve my skills.
