My future job

This issue is very complicated in this profession. After finished this year, I hope, jaja (anxious laughter). I want to study a degree in fine arts pedagogy, it's a special degree for people who already have a title in that profession, have a short duration, twelve months.
I want to go to the south of the country, specially Valdivia for study in the Universidad Austral.
I think it must have a good environment for study, I feel a little overwhelmed studying in the capital.

After that time, I think come the time to work. Obviously I want to work as a teacher, but I would love to work in a rural school.

I would like to give back what they have taught me (The teachers) but do it in places that most of the time do not get much attention.

My school had classes of art but we never did much more than drawing, and only once we painted.
When i got to college I was surprised when my colleagues told me the things they did in their fine arts classes at school. Photography, films, painting, sculpture and many other things.

About some others aspects, honestly i don't care if I make a lot of money, I don't want to work in the city, I like nature and smalls towns.
I'm a persistent person, I like to help other people. I'm not very good with numbers, I always forget dates.

I hope I can accomplish theses wishes as time passes.

My favourite album

Hello everyone, today I will talk about my favourite album or song.

It's very dificult to me choose one song or album, I don't think I have a favourite one. But for a very long time I have been a fan of the artist Natasha Khan.

My favourite album of her band (named Bat for Lashes) is Fur and Gold, Natasha is the singer in the band and also the song writer, she is from England and apart of her band she write  for another artists in addition to that is an multi instrumentalist. The singer recieved the Mercury Prize nominations for the album Fur and Gold and Two Suns.

The album fur and Gold was the first album that i heard and I was so delighted.
I had never heard that kind of music, the style of the band was so different. It's like indie, folk, experimental music.

And from that moment I started to listening the album all the time, specially when I traveled by bus or when I went to sleep.

I remember when I was traveling to Santiago to attend the workshop of art in Balmaceda Arte Joven. I always heard that album in the bus, and I enjoyed so much. I did that all the weeks in the travel to Santiago.

But I listened it too much, at the point that the album began to bore for me and I stopped listening for some time.

I let you the link to the album in youtube.

Vivian Maier

I don´t know if I really have a favorite artist but possibly at the moment is Vivian Maier.

Vivian was an american street photographer, worked for forty years as a nanny.
She took a lot of photographs during her spare time but her work was not recognized until her death.

Vivian was a nanny who loved to took pictures when she went outside  for a walk with the children she had care.

Maier photographed everything that caught her eyes, children, homeless people, poverty, but in a very sensitive way/manner.

A young photographer named John Malof found thousand of negatives that belonged to vivian, later would become famous.

I like this photographer because she never studied anything, was a self-taught.
Even so her work was wonderful, she never sought to be recognized for her work, always hid her photographs, ///but never knew why she did it///

I remember I met this photographer when I saw a documentary called Looking for Vivian Maier and it seemed so mysterious that I started searching all her works.

I loved the way she portrayed the reality.
Last year I was lucky enough to visit a photographic exhibition of her in Valparaiso and it was very nice.

I recommend you to see the documentary.
