la inocencia del ayer

After watching Spike Jonze's marvelous Where The Wild Things Are trailer, I felt very nostalgic. Especially with Arcade Fire's poignant lyrics for the trailer's song Wake Up..."Children wake up, hold your mistake up, before they turn the summer into dust." This made me browse through my laptop and found a few snaps of some of my friends at a tender age, where things are magical and imagination is a wild thing.

so many...

things to share with you, but I'll leave you with this photo for now, taken by my roommate Yasmin Alishav student photographer at the Art Center. It was fun tossing my hair around a few times until we got this shot.

el rey (de un laberinto femenino)

Cuauhtémoc Suárez.

One who doesn’t stop amazing me is my friend, Cuauhtémoc Suarez. It is his effortless but yet delicate manner of capturing beautiful scenes of young women all over Mexico that keeps me coming back. He welcomes the world to moments of intimacy and innocence with the now overlooked magic of film. His work has been featured in magazines such as Page. The Magazine and galleries from Monterrey to Guadalajara, but I’m hoping to collaborate with him on a show here in Los Angeles this year. Crossing my fingers. So for now, enter this labyrinth of feminine mystique.
Temo, you need to visit LA soon.

un, deux, trois...

Simply a perfect Tuesday night song to listen to.
The album version is even better! It is so haunting.
