between caos and new hopes

I've been meaning to write for quite a while but life has suddenly become quite busy around here!
First I went to a small country town called Mococa over the weekend to do a photo shoot. It wasn't a paid job, but lots of fun. I went to photograph a group of women who used work in the coffee plantations and are now embroidering for a living. They do some amazing work.

Between editing these photos and working on possible new projects things are slowly moving, finally.
Here are a couple of shots from the weekend.

So I had kind of a job interview yesterday... Only thing is it was for a cooking job, not photography. But right now I think I'm up for almost anything. We'll see.
Today I'm supposed to be going to a small town called Mococa to do a photo shoot of a small comunity of women who live off embroidery. Hopefully I will be able to come back with some nice shots. In the mean time, here's a couple of quick photos of my grandmother's backyard which I love...

Happy Birthday!

It's my grandmother's birthday today. She turns 94 or is it 95? In any case, she's an incredible woman and that's a long long life. Her story is amazing, just for startes she had 12 children... and I doubt they had peridurals back then... but I wouldn't be able to tell it right. So I'm just going to add a little photo from a long time ago.

what's up with this blog??

So i'm trying desperately to post some photos here but this stupid thing just won't work... No idea what's going on. Will have to try again later.
Damn frustrating!!

urg!

Still feeling rather down in the dumps... that's why I avoided any posts lately. Nobody reads them anyway... Sick of everything and on top of it all with a horrible cold... Also seam to be going through a second puberty or something... my skin is breaking out... I look awful and feel worse.
