Centro Cultural La Moneda

May 2016

During my trip to Santiago, I decided to go visit the Centro Cultural La Moneda. It was my first visit and I was lucky enough to stumble across their Ancient Egypt exhibition. When I was younger I was in love with ancient Egypt, the mythology and lifestyle being my favorite part of it all. It really was magical to be able to experience up close fragments of a world that fascinated me so much as a child. 

There was a little side exhibition of the PET Lamp project, that I thought to be quite interesting. 

The curator of this exhibition did an outstanding job. Not only was it incredibly informative, but it was also easy to navigate and visually stunning.

These are makeup tools and trays!! 

This last exhibition I wasn't able to photograph, but it was beautiful. It was a collection of photojournalism of the past 50 years of my country.

Autumn Date

May 2016

It was in this exact park that my partner and I began dating a few years back. It was a lot of fun being able to come back, especially in this beautiful autumn weather that just seemed to cast a veil of colors over a space that we knew so well through summer. 

These ducks looked like beautiful water nymphs bathing in between the reeds.

Stationery Haul

May 2016

I went to Santiago, the capital, this month to go see one of my favorite bands Crystal Castles. It was such an amazing experience, and  went along with some close friends from there. I was also taken by some other friends to go shopping at what is known as "China Town". Once I was there I went all out with stationery. 

I bought four Moomin cards, one small succulent card, two sets of totoro envelopes, a totoro pencil case, two notebooks, a highlighter set, paper dolls sticker set, two erasers, as well as six pens.

Summer Fair on Film

Summer 2016

I don't remember the last time I went to a fair. But I went this summer along with my partner. We took a disposable film camera with us (the same one that was used for the Cemetery on film- Corral) and had a lot of fun taking pictures. The only pictures that didn't have my partner in them were these three of me. I quite like them so I thought I would share.

I'm Back ~ Year of Absence

Hello, again.

I really don't know what to write, and have been postponing making this post for this exact reason. How do you pick up after a year of absence? I love this blog, but last year was a wild one. I moved houses, first year out of school, meeting new people, and a whole lot of more responsibility. I really don't know what happened, but somewhere along the line I left many things that I loved behind in order to focus on other things that I thought were more important. Looking back that may have been my biggest mistake.
Alas, time only ever leaves us and there is nothing we can do about it. One of the things I love about photography is how it can capture moments in time, by far my favorite physical form of memories. For example, the picture above: I was studying on my desk after a rainy day. My cat Hermosa, wanted to look out the window and keep me company. But she insisted on sleeping on top of my notes and papers. So I had to go get her that red blanket, put everything aside, and make space for her. after a while I found it so funny that I got my camera and took a picture.

I'm straying from the point. I'm back. And I wish to pick up on this blog, that I love so dearly and has been a dream of mine for over 6 years. I do have a lot of backlog regarding all the memories I didn't share in 2016, and this summer. Once I'm up to date with that, which I hope will be soon, I will begin posting more current events.

Thank you so much to everyone who reads this, take care.

Autumn Window

I probably have said this before, but autumn is by far my favourite season. The colors, the rain, the cool winds and the feel of a warm cup in your hands... It's heaven for me. Our town's Chocolate Shop, Entrelagos (where I went to buy my Easter Chocolate!!) always changes their window displays. I have to admit that in the past years they have been a bit boring and unoriginal, but whoever is doing the new display is doing an amazing job!! I wish I had taken pictures of the other displays, so as soon as this one came out I made sure to take pictures. The attention to detail is amazing, it really brings it all together. 

Walking about town and seeing these kinds of details makes one really feel that autumn is here, and it makes me very happy.

Lollapalooza Chile 2016

My, it truly took forever for me to get this post up... but here it is! I went to Lollapalooza this year!! It was held on the March 19-20. I worked all summer and was able to afford all the expenses; so I was off to the city and had one of the best weekend's ever. There were so many bands, so many people, and it was all so much fun. I've never done something like this before, it was most definitely out of my comfort zone, but it turned out great so I will probably keep doing things like this. (I've actually got concert tickets to go to see Crystal Castles on the 28th of this month!!) 

Above you can see the bracelet I wore to be able to get in and out of the festival; the concert tickets (or what was left of them); the booklet we were given; a receipt for some tokens that I could use inside to buy things; and my public transport card (bip!) that was Lollapalooza themed to promote the use of the public transport to reduce our carbon footprint.

Below are the different bands that were there, the stage each played on and the times. Overall I saw Eminem, Die Antwoord, Marina and the Diamonds, Of Monsters and Men, Twenty One Pilots, Jack U, Alabama Shakes, Stone Giant, Eagles of Death Metal, DJ Who and Bad Religion.

Take care,

Easter Chocolate

I finally went Easter shopping! I decided to go to my town's most famous Chocolate Shop, Entrelagos. They make artisanal chocolate, right there in the shop! Even though the wait took more than an hour and it was really crowded, it was totally worth it. 

I really wanted one of those big bunnies (they must have been about 0.5 m) but they were way out of my price range. So after buying for my family I got this cute little one instead.

Wishing you a happy weekend, no matter what you plan on doing.

Take care,
