Human capacities


Today I will talk about some topics that Ken Robinson touches in his monologue. I think that he is talking about things more serious that we could believe. One of the topics who make me senses was the idea that we are making people who live out-of-bodies experiences. Like we were” no-bodies-persons”, I think that it’s very true. Robison starts steadying who there is an extraordinary evidence of human creativity, this extraordinary capacity it’s truncated in the meantime we’re growing up. The society accepts the idea that we born, we grow up, we have a job useful and productive, we have children, we work all the life for having more and more things that we don’t even need, and then we die and we have to pay for do it. That’s life is it, this idea have become common sense. It’s very difficult for a person take the options that nobody is offering…“don’t be musicians, don’t’ do art”…. Just like Robinson says, in the school nobody teach you to dance like they teach you math... It’s the idea of be a useful person for the society, but who decides what is useful or useless? There are not more purposes, no dreams, and no questions. And if you decided to be happy, do what you really want to do generally you have to pay an important social punish. Well, about this my opinion is that we need be complete persons, and not just choose one of other activity, develop all us areas, learn all the topics: the human capacities are infinite. We could do and learn anything.

Au Square du Vert-Galant



Robert doisneau is a French photographer. He lived in the Paris of the decade of the 40'; jazz, bohemian, big writers ... but too in the period of war. He knew to Jean Paul Sartre and Albert Camus. His work it’s famous for having portrayed the life of the city of Paris and of his inhabitants throughout many decades. The most famous picture of Doisneau is “The Kiss”, I am sure you have seen it some time.



The composition of his images is fantastic, he can construct scenes full of life and magic, many of them are spontaneous and others are interpreted by young actors. Doisneau is a street photographer, many of his photographs are about young or old woman alone in an urban place, others are about kids or about pairs kissing each other in the streets of his country.



This picture is named “Au Square du Vert-Galant” and it’s one of my favorites, It was taken in a French place named Square du Vert-Galant, it’s a botanic park. I think it’s amazing, at the first view it seems to be a simple image of people near to the river, but then ... there are two young people kissing each other, and they are immediately the center of the photography! It’s really nice.



Well, I hope you like this picture, and I really recommended find pictures of this photographer, and other photographers of his time like Cartier Bresson.



Bye!

The picture was taken for Pablo in Isla de Maipo, when we were in the house of other frend, Nacho. Lalo is standing up and smoking and Nestor is the person who is seated.
