15 días / 2 miradas, my experience.

In January I made a post about this collaborative project called 15 dias / 2 miradas (15 days / 2 looks) created by Arlette Montilla, which consisted in portraying the Venezuelan's daily life outside the country and each participant has to take one photo for 15 days. Then she will try to look for similar situations for a comparative of our lives.

From April 17 to May 1 it was my turn, I believe our results were pretty interesting. A lot was happening in these 15 days so I had some cool stuff to document. I loved the challenge, and it seems that I can't stop taking daily pictures. 

Here are all the pictures we took, tell me what do you think of them in the comments :) 

Hope you enjoy them.

Thank you for reading!

As you know (or don't know) last Sunday the Venezuelan elections were held, Chavez won... again. I'm not going to talk about politics because I kind of hate that topic.

Ironically the Monday after that was Thanksgiving Day here in Canada, but I could only be thankful for one thing only, being away from my country, being safe. I'm not going to be a downer here, but I'm going to focus on the thanks thing.

At one of my bus rides.

Canadians are famous for being very sorry or very thankful. In a normal day I hear people say sorry or thank you about 10 to 20 times, so this guys are very polite. Even when they get off a bus they scream "THANK YOU!" to the driver, and funnily enough they sometimes say "YOU WELCOME!", and I sometimes do it too.

So I was wondering how many times did I hear someone saying thanks to their bus driver, did I ever say it back in Maracaibo? Of course not, those are radically different cultures, but what if you start saying thanks to someone who don't get that too often?

I don't imagine people in Maracaibo saying a legitimate "Hey! bus driver, thank you for not letting us all get killed this time!" because let's face it, its hot as hell, there are like 100 sweaty people touching you and the driver is a maniac, but it could be fun if we start being polite to everyone around us.

Portrait and Ballet {7 days}

A couple of weeks ago I promised my best friend to post something ballet related so I had the idea to mix the black and white portraits with ballet. So instead of writing about my love about dance, which I'll cover eventually, I'm just going to show you.

These girls are some pretty amazing dancers. 

Thank you for your help and modeling skills girls ;)
