A shot from the venue and The Namesake



The movie of Nobuyoshi Araki was quite interesting. It made me nostalgic for Japan. Sometimes it seems so long ago that I lived there for two years. For aspiring or established photographers, the movie shows how an extremely successful photographer works and how immense his output is done. He has tremendous energy and is the forbearer of snappers like Terry Richardson and all the others who shoot naked people with flash.

The venue was quite amazing, the Polyforum Siqueiros, which is next the WTC in México City. The murals and shape and the moving spaces make for a interesting experience.

I saw another movie this weekend called The Namesake. As someone who is living in a foreign country and married to someone from a different country, I really identified. Bring a tissue when you go!
