Un recuerdito a “Pichuco” en el aniversario, hoy, de su muerte.
En el video, una escena de la película —Invasión (1969) de Hugo Santiago— se escucha “Milonga de Manuel Flores” compuesta por Troilo y con letra de Jose Luis Borges. A la guitarra y voz, Roberto Villanueva.

The lyrics of this song shocked me, big time! I first heard this cover performed by The Byrds, but found out later it was written by Bob Dylan.

I ain’t lookin’ to compete with you
Beat or cheat or mistreat you
Simplify you, classify you
Deny, defy or crucify you
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you

No, and I ain’t lookin’ to fight with you
Frighten you or tighten you
Drag you down or drain you down
Chain you down or bring you down
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you

“All I Really Want To Do” — Bob Dylan

I much prefer this The Byrds’ cover. Check it out! I’m loving this fine band — The Byrds.

“From his embed with US Marines Echo Company in Afghanistan, photojournalist and filmmaker Danfung Dennis reveals the devastating impact a Taliban machine-gun bullet has on the life of 25-year-old Sergeant Nathan Harris. The film seamlessly transitions from stunning war reportage to an intimate, visceral portrait of one man’s personal struggle at home in North Carolina, where Harris confronts the physical and emotional difficulties of re-adjusting to civilian life with the love and support of his wife, Ashley. Masterfully contrasting the intensity of the frontline with the unsettling normalcy of home, HELL AND BACK AGAIN lays bare the true cost of war.”

A MUST see!

Han caído los dos cual soldados fulminados al suelo
Y ahora están atrapados los dos en la misma prisión
Vigilados por el ojo incansable del deseo voraz
Sometidos a una insoportable tensión de silencio.

Han caído los dos bajo el punto de vista exclusivo
Iniciando una guerra en que nadie pudo vencer jamás
Ella sabe lo que el hombre espera sin haberlo aprendido
Y él encuentra sentido a un enigma que no le dejaba existir.

Antes eran dos barcos sin rumbo,
Hoy son dos marionetas que van
Persiguiendo una luz cegadora por la línea del tiempo
Han caído los dos en la boca de un dios tenebroso
Que sonríe mostrando
Sus dientes de acero.

Interesting reflections on photography & excellent advice for emerging photographers, from Christopher Phillips | ICP – International Center of Photography curator.

Via aCurator, arrived this work from Bill Schwab. It really made me slow down, take a breath and slowly examine each one of his images. Well composed, subtly textured: sand, water, leaves, plus nice film grain; make a really nice body of work. I encourage you to go and take a look!

Postin’ from the cold winter… wishing it was summer. Take care.
