One of my most favorite things in the world is dancing, It gives me life, there's something about dancing that does just that... gives me life, a purpose, a sense of direction, that wonderful feeling that you're good at something and makes you believe you can do absolutely everything. That's dancing to me. I love to dance, it is my life, and I also enjoy watching others dance, it transmits so much, and of course I love to photograph dance.

enjoy

this a a traditional dance from the Altiplano Perú-Bolivia, it's called 'morenada'

For the hand that rocks the craddle is the hand that rules the world. - William Ross Wallace.

Many times we have heard the above quote, I think it holds so much truth. I love my mother and I love my sister (the one on the picture below) who is also a mother. They're good examples of patience, wisdom, and love that I wish to emulate.

I'm not sure if this pic fits into theme... i hope so. It is wool dyed with natural ingredientes such as corn, lemon juice, cochinilla and different types of herbs, it amazing the colors that nature can give us. 

enjoy :)

A beautiful family!

Sweet baby Luciana was about to take her nap :)

This week as I was taking a morning walk I saw all this seaweed drying on the land. I walked towards one of the people that were pulling it from the beach and asked them why they were doing it... well, she said they collect it and let it dry and then it is sold and shipped to Japan so people over there can make cosmetics, food and medicine with it. And I thought, if only all those things could be done here, life would be very different. 

i know this is not the greenest shot you'll ever see, well I live in a dessert, but it got me thinking on earth day and what are we really doing to preserve the land we live in...

After our time in Arequipa, we had the chance to visit my hometown: Ilo

just a few shots... :)

Lovely week with two of my favorite girls, Carmen & Stefani. Here a few pics from our time in Arequipa. :)

I know she's not a 'thing', and this week's theme is probably refering to Spring time and how things start growing beautifully in nature. But right now I'm in Peru, and we just started Fall, so not very many things are growing, only my baby niece is :)

I love her tiny self, It's amazing how much they change and learn in such little time. She's grown so much in the last three months. On the picture on top she was 4 days old. The picture on the bottom she's three months old. 

enjoy your Spring time, those of you who can :)

I had a long walk this morning, it was very nice, i brought my camera along and did not regret it.
