<strong>Buscando imagen.</strong></p>
<p>Posando a la inspiración encontré  La línea de tu universo<br />
humo revelado con luz de silencio<br />
Notas de viento  Ceniza de palabras<br />
Fuego en los labios líneas de carne<br />
gritan tu imagen</p>
<p><strong>Clasificado</strong></p>
<p>Soy un monstruo que no sabe escribir. Le gusta escribir<br />
Soy un monstruo  que no respeta alto.  No importa el tono de rojo que sea, no importa la altura. No importa el alto.<br />
Soy un monstruo. El que abre tu refri. comeré tu comida.  Todo lo que en él hay. Pollo, salchichas, el queso.<br />
Soy un monstruo. Me beberé  tu cantina.<br />
Guarda el whisky.!!!!!!  Guarda el Reyes!!!!!!!.<br />
–Mejor Nooooo!!! No lo escondas.<br />
Soy un monstruo que acariciará a tu hija.<br />
La llamaré de muchos modos, la amaré de muchos otros, la corromperé.<br />
Soy un monstruo y entraré a tú casa. No importa que no estés.<br />
Tiraré esa puerta (por dentro) y entraré&#8230;. de nuevo.<br />
El monstruo que te hará daño.  Que te mostrará una cara.<br />
El que dará todo para después dar nada.<br />
Un monstruo que se alimenta de envidia, rencor y pasado.<br />
Siempre inconforme. Siempre insatisfecho. Hecho en México.<br />
Soy un monstruo mentiroso, cizañoso, un tanto cariñoso, malicioso.<br />
Un monstruo que vomitó el asco por si mismo en tu cama.<br />
Dejando mi olor en el&#8230; Tengo fotos. Quieres ver?<br />
Cuando soy un Monstruo. Me manejo automático a la destrucción.<br />
Los monstruos no queremos vivir mucho, solo queremos vivir bien.<br />
Somos Mark  Chapman, somos Charles  Manson. Somos un hueco.<br />
Sabemos existir para seguir siendo monstruo.</p>
<p><strong>Francisco Javier Calderón Becerra 6 oct.1950</strong></p>
<p>Me dicen Kiko, crecí con las muchachas del cavaret donde trabajaba cuando tenía 11 años, ahí aprendí a respetar a las mujeres, ellas me enseñaron mucho, ya han de estar muertas o enfermas de sida las que siguen vivas, nunca les llame prostitutas ni putas pues son mujeres de respeto que trabajan como uno, que trabaja para vivir.</p>
<p>Ya mas grande, la hice de administrador de Motel, sobraba con quien tener hijos nomás sacando cuentas, como 14 hijos he de tener, con mi esposa tengo 6, pero de los 6 nomás a uno le importo, hace unos meses me regrese de otro lado, vivía en Texas con mi mujer y los 6 hijos, pero pasa el tiempo y el cuerpo no aguanta lo de antes,   el presente carga mi pasado.</p>
<p>Habrá quien sepa de lo que hablo, de niño vendí chicles, periodicos, le di vueltas al volantín y la vida me llevo a donde estoy. En el gabacho trabaje en construcción, cuando no tienes papeles uno trabaja de lo que se pueda, no se pone exigente que salga pal taco, que por aya es la hamburger.</p>
<p>Pues el cuerpo se me canso y me operaron de las caderas, ya no podía trabajar en la construcción el peso era mucho para esos huesos que juntan piernas y torso.</p>
<p>Sin trabajo<br />
sin papel legal<br />
sin dinero pa la home<br />
a méxico me mandaron por viejo y enfermo dijo mi mujer&#8230;<br />
Y como México no hay dos acá  esta mi familia 14 hermanos<br />
Trabajo hay ; mesero, chofer en los camiones, por ahí sale<br />
ya me queda poco para jubilarme<br />
a ver si antes de morir me baño en le mar, no lo conozco.<br />
Y de la mujer que no me quiso ya ni me acuerdo<br />
Ya tengo bicicleta pa pedalear, ella tiene 30 años es mas chiquilla que yo, tiene un chamaco de un año, ellos si me quieren hasta me corta las uñas y yo le compro la medicina pa su hijito, la quiero bonito.<br />
Y de las caderas ni se queja, bien le gusta el meneo.</p>
<p><strong>I.M.S.S.</strong></p>
<p>Espero en urgencias. Para mi la mayoría de las cosas son nuevas. Y lo único que tiene de urgencias el lugar es el nombre.</p>
<p>En uno de los cientos de pasillo que hay dentro de esta mole de edificio hay pacientes impacientes. Esperan el menor de los males.</p>
<p>Los enfermos, algunos en una camillas acostados sobre una colchoneta de plástico. Otros,sentados  esperando camilla. Pero eso si todos perfectamente uniformados. En bata verde ya muy gastada, con algunas manchas ya secas de líquidos varios de otros usuarios. Afortunadamente mantienen su calzado y sus calzones. Camino cabizbajo. Voy viendo unas cañitas envueltas en botas de obrero, piernitas tilicas. Otras hinchadas y moradas dentro de sandalias</p>
<p>–es por la diabetis-</p>
<p>Comenta el familiar que viene acompañando a su anciano padre que yace en silla de ruedas.En otros casos no hay pierna. O como Ricardo, el paciente no. 43…  solo medio pie.</p>
<p>Escucho decir a una enfermera que falta poco para que saquen a las visitas del pasillo. Yo no quiero irme. Y no es por que este disfrutando.</p>
<p>El personal, los archivos, el mobiliario y el servicio son todo un caos, parecido al que tengo ahora dentro de mi cabeza&#8230;..</p>
<p>Camino por el pasillo, la capilla Sixtina pasa en imágenes. Viendo rostros en agonía de los santos. Pero los presentes no figurarán en el calendario santoral.</p>
<p>La busco en cada paciente…La dignidad fue dada de alta por que no esta aquí.</p>
<p>De regreso, me detengo frente  las sillas que están acomodadas al los costados del pasillo. Me detengo y mi hinco ante la paciente No. 41. Miro a mi madre y me apoyo en su pierna. La persona mas entera del pasillo o eso parece.</p>
<p>Doña Mary es nuestra vecina hoy, una anciana de 67 años que esta inconciente en su catre después de convulsionarse. Alrededor de ella sus hijos  la ven.. uno de ellos, el mayor, llama a su madre…no hay respuesta.. completamente sedada. Y Luz María, otra ancianita que es una pasa en la silla.</p>
<p>A diferencia del cuerpo médico de la mañana y el de la tarde, que mostraban un semblante cansado y de pocos amigos. La ronda nocturna a primera vista luce amable. Las enfermeras bien podrían trabajar de meseras en algún centro nocturno mientra las doctoras se van paseando  con sus taza de café rellenable del 7-11, collares de colores y su manos libres en el oido.</p>
<p>Un grupo de doctores y estudiantes están dando un rondín por los pasillos. Se detienen frente a cada paciente y una enfermera les cuenta el capitulo de su vida en el que van.</p>
<p>Síntomas, evolución. estabilidad y mas cosas. Nunca se dice si el paciente esta bien o mal, solo observan, le dan un nombre en latin a alguna parte del cuerpo  y siguen adelante. Cada paciente es clasificado y va a acompañado de una minuciosa descripción que mas adelante se traspapelara entre otros expedientes  médicos.</p>

Michael wears a suit every day.

50 Golden Gate  is about meeting my neighbors, I  wonder about the people that live around me. What are they like? Where do they come from? How long have they lived here? I have become a part of the building’s history, along with the long list of hundreds of previous tenants. I wanted to explore the history of the building I lived in by  by meeting  the  people that inhabit it.]]></description>

<blockquote><p>&#8220;I am still thinking about how I am going to gain the confidence of perfect strangers. How do I get them to let me take their picture and not swear at me after?  Or for that matter, how do get them to not hide their faces? It has happened.&#8221;</p>

<h4><span style="color: #ffcc00;"><strong>Hablame sobre tus temas fotograficas.</strong></span></h4>
<p>Me encanta contemplar los paisajes darme un tiempo para admirar y descubrir esas pequeñas formas luces, sombras , texturas que están a mi alrededor y pasan inadvertidas, por el tan acelerado ritmo de vida que tenemos.</p>
<p><strong><a title="Caja Magica" href="http://www.lacajamagica.org/graciela-noemi-flores-zepeda/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1035" title="cañaveral" src="http://blackbootsink.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/cañaveral-590x394.jpg" alt="cañaveral" width="312" height="208" /></span></a></strong></p>
<p>Con gran regularidad salgo de viaje y el observar el paisaje tan hermoso que tenemos a nuestro alrededor. Es placentero, simplemente levantar la vista y fundirte con esos colores azules, hermosos con esas nubes blancas que se expresen suavemente dibujando diversos personajes.</p>
<p>El poder captar con mi cámara esos sublimes paisajes con los que todavía contamos dentro y fuera de la ciudad. Tomo mucho fotografías de conciertos es alucinante. Me encanta ver esos cambios de luces y la fuerza que cada uno de los involucrados usa de diferente manera para transmitir su arte.</p>
<p>Esos estados de animo de la gente, el actuar de cada una en escenarios diversos, el poder crear fotografías con cargas de emociones diferentes, es una descarga de adrenalina padrísima.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1037" title="conciertosmll" src="http://blackbootsink.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/conciertosmll-590x393.jpg" alt="conciertosmll" width="481" height="320" /></p>
<h4><span style="color: #ffcc00;"><strong>Cuando empesaste to carrera y porque el interes?</strong></span></h4>
<p>Comenzó mi interés en forma en la universidad.  Dado que quería ganar dinero inicie tomando fotos en diferentes lugares de fiestas infantiles y poco a poco me fue surgiendo el interés a raíz de descubrir como en la película se iba deslumbrando poco a poco lo que yo horas antes había tomado. Es una sensación padrísima. El jugar con las luces, con la exposición, el que tu tienes el control de la toma fotográfica es increíble.<br />
El poder captar esos pequeños bellos momentos de la vida y compartirlos con los demas.</p>

<h4><span style="color: #ffcc00;"><strong>En que te enfocas el año 2010?</strong></span></h4>
<p>En seguir creciendo  en la técnica y pues me gustaría salir a difundir las imágenes de México, nuestra gente, cultura, costumbre, paisajes, etc., por el mundo.</p>

<h4><span style="color: #ffcc00;"><strong>Hablame sobre tu experenciaen el taller BBI Guadalajara, Mexico 2008</strong></span></h4>
<p>Mi primer contacto con Black Boots Ink 2008 fue muy interesante. Me enseñaron a enfrentarme con lo que visualmente no observamos con detenimiento porque ya pasa a ser algo común y no lo registramos como autentico o interesante.  En el analizar mi entorno visual, y de ahí crear una imagen representativa de el entorno o el momento.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align: left;">Thank you LA for making this project a success.</h3>
<p style="text-align: left;">It was great working with you. As first time visitors to the city of Angels, we were not sure what we would find.  The streets welcomed  and challenged us to find our portrait of  downtown.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong> It was an incredible experience!</strong></p>

<p>The images made in Los Angeles were a sincere reflection of downtown Los Angeles. Thank you for all your work, many hours of walking and great company.</p>
<p>Thank you <a title="Tony D" href="http://www.dizinno.co.uk/" target="_blank">Tony D</a> for hosting us in your amazing studio at The Brewery.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">&#8220;I&#8217;m excited by what I see. The work from the second half of the day demonstrates that they took our critiques yesterday morning and have run with them. There is an immediacy to the images, a bravery about them. As the images flash on the screen, I see the transformation.&#8221; <a title="Ibarionex" href="http://lafotoboy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Ibarionex Perello</a><span style="color: #999999;"> </span></p>
