titaness: Nearly the end of my third cycle, I had this idea of working with the oriental influence in Lima. Most of all the visual aspect of them, the neon signs and the golden door knobs were all of great photographic value and capacity to me. It was all going on in my head, mostly questions, like why hasn’t anybody done something big and meaningful about the Chinese phenomenon in Lima. I think it’s a phenomenon because it started way back between the xix and xx century with a group of poor Cantonese immigrants, making a living out of cooking in “ghetto” places. And now they are literally EVERYWHERE, in every single district, everyone has their local chifa. Right where I’m living, there are 2 chifas within my block. That says something, and there’s a ton of background to that. Digging and researching more into the subject, I kept getting even more interested. It’s not only about their pretty neon signs anymore, it’s also about the socioeconomic aspect too.So this fourth cycle I officially started working on it for Photography IV class, starting with the closer districts. I have other classes that make it impossible to just focus on this project, that would have been great, having in mind that according to Wikipedia, there are over 6,000 chifas in Lima, not counting the rest of the country. Yep, that’s a lot of chifas to photograph. But you gotta start somewhere right?  I’ve divided them into three categories: wariques, casas, and imperios. Those names are temporary, maybe. And I have two other categories in mind that I haven’t photographed yet. The technical part: twin lens medium format camera, 6x6, Fujifilm Neopan Acros-100 film. There’s obviously a whole meaning into why I choose b/w over color for this project, details some other day. This is going to be my thesis project and probably on-going for a good three or even five more years. Eventually I’m turning it into a huge book. Anyway, I thought I would share some that I’m proud of so far. Bravo Cinthya!

A University of California, Irvine study revealed that employees working in open-plan offices (cubicles or around big tables) were interrupted 63% of their time at work. Employees with offices were interrupted 49% of the time. After each interruption, it took 25 minutes for the cubicle employees and 26 minutes for the office employees to get back on track. However, typically, employees turned to 2.26 OTHER tasks before getting back to the original task from which they had been interrupted. Which means, if each interruption costs you that much time to get back to the original task, it doesn’t take many to eat up your entire working day.

Filtra lo que lees y escuchas

Everybody’s talking and no one says a word…

John Lennon

Si quieres ser sabio, aprende a interrogar razonablemente, a escuchar con atención, a responder serenamente y a callar cuando no tengas nada que decir.

Johann Kaspar Lavater (1741-1801) Filósofo, poeta y teólogo suizo.

Una de las cosas que mas admiro de mi Pastor es la plataforma que le respalda. Años de experiencia en la vida y en el ministerio. Y sin embargo hay veces que ante situaciones complicadas o relaciones enredadas su respuesta ha sido un sincero “No se, déjame meditar en el asunto”.

El me ha enseñado a filtrar lo que escucho y leo, a escoger bien a quien dejo que influencie en mi vida. 

En temas de relaciones siempre voy a buscar consejo de parejas o personas que tienen un recorrido amplio en la vida, cuyos ‘galones’ acreditan batallas ganadas o perdidas.

Hay mucho escrito en la internet. Mi desafio personal es saber escuchar entre las miles de palabras que suenan bonito y ver si hay una esencia, un respaldo biblico de acuerdo a la fe que dicta mis morales y normas de conducta.

Muchos hablan, pocos dicen algo.

Busco a personas que tienen una plataforma construida con el paso de los años, un ministerio que los respalde y sobretodo personas con aquella sencillez que caracteriza a los grandes.

Saludos.

The Leica Freedom Train was a rescue effort by Ernst Leitz II and his daughter Elsie Kuehn-Leitz to get hundreds of German Jews out of the country when Hitler’s rise to power was starting. Ernst, who was the head of the company from 1920 to 1956, was instrumental in ensuring that the lives of German Jews were preserved through the brilliant but dangerous Leica Freedom Train.

It seems like most of the folks who try to give advice about “going pro,” are just people trying to draw more attention to their own photography—it’s just their way of advertising.

Laissez-faire parenting does not produce gracious, humble children. It produces brats. They are neither fun to be around, nor happy themselves. They are demanding and insolent. Their “freedom” is not a blessing to them or others.

John Piper

One explanation why children are out of control in public is that they have not been taught to obey at home. One reason for this is that many things at home don’t seem worth the battle.
But this simply trains children that obedience anywhere is optional. Consistency in requiring obedience at home will help your children be enjoyable in public.

John Piper

I saw that the church wasn’t a museum for good people; it was a hospital for the broken. Jesus wasn’t trying to create a place to show off his shiny employees; he wanted a place where his children could be healed

Jefferson Bethke’s Jesus > Religion.

Every phone you will ever own will have a camera facing your face and another facing the world. Use the one staring at you sparingly. The world will appreciate how you see them much more than 34 selflies a day.
