LONDRES: foto de estudianta de Middlesex pre- seleccionada en concurso fotográfico del Canal 4




An up and coming photographer from Middlesex University will see her work shown at Channel 4’s New Sensation photography exhibition, run by the influential Saatchi Gallery.
 
The photography student who recently graduated made the shortlist beating more than 800 entries, the highest number of entries since the competition started in 2007.  Polish student Aleksandra Wojcik’s work impressed the prestigious panel of judges including Channel 4’s commissioning arts editor, arts commissioning editor of The Times newspaper and the Director of the Saatchi Gallery.
 
Three pieces from her collection of photographs of the River Thames (titled 'The River Song'), will be exhibited from 9-15 October 2012 in Bloomsbury, London.  Aleksandra is no stranger to recognition and has previously had her work shortlisted for a number of other high profile competitions including the Sony Photography Awards and the Sunday Times Spectrum Awards, winning the Magnum Showcase competition run by a top photographic agency, as well as receiving a First Class Honours degree for the larger collection that ‘The River Song’ formed part of.  
 
Middlesex University graduate Aleksandra Wojcik said: “The River Song ' is based on my experience of the English landscape and I look forward to sharing that with other at the exhibition.  However, for me this is just the beginning.  Being selected just motivates me to continue producing more work and documenting my experiences through my photographs.”  
 
Channel 4’s New Sensations, which looks to identify the most talented artists graduating in the UK and Ireland, opens up many opportunities to up and coming artists including having their work sold, taken on by galleries, invited to be exhibited in the UK and internationally, and shortlisted for other prizes as a result of their work being seen in the exhibition.
 
Aleksandra plans to continue pursuing her passion for photography by studying for a Masters in the subject at Middlesex University.

ESTOY HECHA DE RETAZOS-POEMA de CARO CAROLINA

Imagen
      Estelas en la mar 7   · Estoy hecha de retazo S     Estoy hecha de retazos, pedacitos coloridos de cada vida que pasa por la mía y que voy cosiendo en el alma.   No siempre son bonitos, ni siempre felices, pero me agregan y me hacen ser quien soy.   En cada encuentro, en cada contacto, voy quedando mayor. En cada retazo una vida, una lección, un cariño, una nostalgia... Que me hacen más persona, más humana, más completa.   Y pienso que es así como la vida se hace: de pedazos de otras gentes que se van convirtiendo en parte de uno también. Y la mejor parte es que nunca estaremos listos, finalizados. Siempre habrá un retazo para añadir al alma.   Por lo tanto, gracias a cada uno de ustedes, que forman parte de mi vida y que me permiten engrandecer mi historia con los retazos dejados en mí.    Que yo también pueda dejar pedacitos de mí por los caminos y que puedan ser parte de sus historias.   Y que así, de retazo en...

USA The good job of a floor maid at the Tewksbury Institute

  One of the better stories I have read in a long time. Dr. Frank Mayfield was touring Tewksbury Institute when, on his way out, he accidentally collided with an elderly floor maid. To cover the awkward moment Dr. May field started asking questions. "How long have you worked here?" "I've worked here almost since the place opened," the maid replied. "What can you tell me about the history of this place?" he asked. "I don't think I can tell you anything, but I could show you something." With that, she took his hand and led him down to the basement under the oldest section of the building. She pointed to one of what looked like small prison cells, their iron bars rusted with age, and said, "That's the cage where they used to keep Annie Sullivan." "Who's Annie?" the doctor asked. Annie was a young girl who was brought in here because she was incorrigible—nobody could do anything with her. She'd bite and scream ...

http://www.archivohistoricoconcepcion.cl/biblioteca-digital/autores/rolando-saavedra/ He leido con no pocas emociones este magnífico recuento de la historia de la querida familia de la cual heredé dos hijxs maravillosos, Yanina Andrea Hinrichsen Zabaleta, nacida en Concepción, y Tomás Alejo Hinrichsen Zabaleta, nacido durante nuestro exilio con Ricardo Alberto Hinrichsen Ramírez en Glasgow, Escocia.  Como casi todo ya está dicho por el autor, no me faltaría tal vez más que agregar algunas fotos de las decenas que atesoro.  Mientras decido cual/es, saludo al autor, Don Rolando, y le reitero mi agradecimiento por su esmerado y logrado esfuerzo de investigación para llevar a su conclusión a este valioso nuevo libro suyo que, con su acostumbrada g enerosidad, nos ha compartido.
