UPDATE: I decided to add the book in its development process in a slide format. It can be found below the screen shot of the cover.

The title has solidified and I’m liking it more each day. I thought I’d post the cover of the project. It has been floating around on the project page with the rest of the images, but this is the FULL cover. That is, the front, the back, the spine and the two flaps (black), that make up the rest of the dusk jacket. Use your imagination to see it as a real cover.

In putting together this project I was reminded of how much I enjoy photographing people and I might just see a style and never-ending project developing. I’m already looking for the next installment. Okay, working on it, but I picked a tough one and the networking I’ve been doing for a year now has yet to get me in the door. Cross your fingers. It will be awesome.

p.s. Sorry about the moderately annoying watermark.

Thanks y Gracias

The process is slow. I think I admitted that before. But anyway, the editing on the tattoo project is advancing. I decided to post a few pages full of images to say thanks to the individuals that allowed me to photograph them.

Thanks

El proceso es lento. Ya les dije antes. Pero de todos modos, la redacción del proyecto de tatuajes sigue. Decidí subir unas paginas de imagenes para agradecerles a los individuos que me permitieron sacarles.

Gracias

From my point of view ~ Old Friends

Good friends are worth every joyous moment, every heartache. Good friends are for today, for tomorrow, for when you’re in your 90′s and need to help each other walk the sidewalks. There are few people in this world I would want to be just like. At this moment in time, on this day, on this street, at this second… if given the option, I would to grow up to be just like these women.

‘Para Toda La Vida’ ~ La muestra

Although I only have one photograph from the Comedor Los Pibes project among the show, I hope if you’re in Buenos Aires you will come for the inauguration or stop by to see the work by all involved.

14º Torneo Sudamericano de Sumo

This past Saturday, October 17, 2009, the 14th South American Sumo Tournament and the 2nd Feminine Sumo Tournament, was held in Buenos Aires, Argetina. Among the participants were wrestlers from Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Brasil and Argentina.

I photographed the event for Sumo Amateur Argentino and posted the photos to Flickr. Personally, I used the event to take a series of portraits, along the style of the previous Los Pibes project. Those will be uploaded in the next few days.

So, in no particular order… Enjoy the action.

The unfamiliar sounds of the subte

Osvaldo Ortega, 80 and his wife Celia Liano, 80 dance inside the Uruguay subte station.

Among the sounds of screeching train brakes and horns inside the Buenos Aires subte this past Sunday, was melodious jazz, rockin’ blues and plenty of applause. In the yearly Festival de Jazz, September 20, 2009 the Metrovias organized music in different subte stops, free of charge.

Some came with mate, some rode the subte from one concert to the next and others danced to sweet memories surrounded by metal and flourescent lights.

For me it was five hours of riding the subte, mostly the B-line, so I could make it from one concert to the next quickly. The finale, Deborah Dixon at the J. Hernandez stop on the D-line was overfull and I pulled out my camera, pushed politely through the crowd and caught the last song and a half.

Twenty groups participated, playing along the B, D, A, and E lines. The music ranged from jazz vocals, jazz trios, blue-grass to a little swing.

So despite the wonderful spring afternoon, I spent my Sunday underground having one of the best musical experiences in Buenos Aires.

I have a Youtube video made from the new Soundslides conversion below. Yeah. Tell me what you think, feel or see.

(I recommend you hit play and immediately hit pause. Let the red bar load and then hit play again. This will give you better sound flow.)

Support your starving artist

Note Cards now available. Four scenes of Buenos Aires at Night

Note cards now available. These cards were made with four images from the Buenos Aires at Night series. They are glossy, high quality prints on the front, blank inside and bearing my logo and description on the back. At this time, I am only selling these from Buenos Aires. Shipping not included in the price.

1 note card plus 1 envelope = $5.25 pesos (or USD $1.40each)

4 pack with 2 silver and 2 black envelopes = $20 pesos (or USD $5.25)

I intend to seek out stores in Buenos Aires to host the cards and from which to sell, but at this time I wanted them to be up on my blog at least. Let me know if you’re interested and as always, if you have interest in  a photo, I am now  printing C-prints out of Los Angeles and giclees (ie, canvas, etc.) out of Colorado for stateside orders (so, shipping cost will not be from Argentina).

And if you don’t buy from me, buy from someone else.

Support your starving artist!

cheers,

Cate
