Six Feet Under





Much as been written about this television series.
In short words, I will say that i agree with the ones that say, it is a master piece.

But, once again, the purpose of this forum, isn’t to make pure reviews on the subject, but express what it made me feel. Why is it inspiring to me.

We live emerged in a chaotic cloud of noise. The world has become a place full of antagonic messages, that can cause severe blindness of what we are and what we want to be. It can make us feel confusing and frustrated with our most precious gift, our own life.

In six feet under we are confronted with situations, and characters that expose some of our darkest fears. Who am I ? What should I say or do ? What is wright and wrong? 
The oh so many crossroads of our lives.

Has time passes, decisions get harder and harder to take. Because you know that the time for going back and try another path, if at all possible, is shorter and shorter.

Seeing this beautifully written stories, gave me strength and understanding that it is OK to fell bad, fell sorry, do mistakes, ask forgiveness, and above all, get back on our feet and keep going no matter what.

Life is short, we ear so much.

But we only really understand the true meaning of that, when we know that each breath of ours can be the last.

Everybody's Free to Wear Sunscreen!



I just love this music and video clip. I'm sure it's not new for most of the people, but it's always good to remember.

I wish that it was easy to change our life's in that way...

The lyrics is written by Mary Schmich and was published in the Chicago Tribune as a column in 1997, the music was a single by Baz Luhrmann.

Michael Muller




Michael Muller has an extensive body of work, ranging in a lot of themes and styles.
From portrait, to fashion, to movie posters. From monochromatic to a full hypnotic color range. He also has the boldness of drawing a $63K car to make a shot, and to dive with white sharks.



Bottom line, he does it because he loves it, and that show’s in is work.


I love to wander on his site and dwell over the images, so many that it feels I’m always finding something new.

There is a great small video on youtube were we can see is wonderful personality:

Gregory Colbert - Ashes and Snow





Animal Copyright Launch Speech




Gregory Colbert dedicated ten years filming and photographing in a very poetic way the relation of humans and animals across places like India, Burma, Sri Lanka, Egypt, Dominica, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tonga, Namibia, and Antarctica.
This work culminated on a film and a group of pictures with the name of Ashes and Snow, that is gathered on a nomadic museum that travels the world,
He is also engaged in a project , the animal copyright , that tries to make corporations pay a fee for using animals on their commercials, like any actor would charge.

I have bought one of the hand made books of this work, and I've seen the movie, and i can say that it is a soul engaging experience. I recommend to everyone that at least one time in life to have this experience.
