Jewish Photo.



Hi...
Today i am slow, then i write more speed. I read a article about a Jewish Photografer called Judah Passow, then I will make a little summary of what I read.
 The article describes the work of the photographer, on a journey after the death of his father, a Jewish historian and rabbi. Passow travel to different cities in Britain, in order to discover the small villages Jews.
His photography exposes the traditions of the Jewish people: the home, the family and the rituals, but also shows the Jew as the other British, breaking stereotypes developped throughout the world. His photographs were made for an exhibition at the Jewish Museum, but 100 photos were chosen to be published in a book of great edition.
Passow's photographs are a direct homage to his father, and Rachel Lichtenstein, author of the article, thinks that photography Passow, gives value to everyday moments in the history of peoples.
For me it was ineteresting read this article because I am studying Jewish culture in another university class, in which I can discover Jewish culture, breaking prototypes and building an informed opinion Jewish reality. I invite you to read the article for so down the typical image of the Jewish people.

Thundercats, my favorite anime.


      Hi!

The anime was a very important topic for my infancy, because I remember that when i was sad watched TV, and ever saw Thundercats, its my favorite anime.

Thundercat is the history about feline family whit human characteristics and its war against Mumra. The principals characters were Leono, Cheetara, Tigro, Panthro, felina y feline.  They had  differents powers for the war, then  they ever win. Leono is the leader in the family, and he have a blade with a red feline symbol that is on in the danger moments. 

For my, Tigro is the best character, because I like the tiger I remember that played thundercats with my friends, and ever I wanted be Tigro, but ever was Panthro, because is similar with me.

I looked for information from the thundercats, online, and found a video made by fans, this video simulates a Thundercats movie with images from other films, then discovered that there are many fans in the world like me, which will probably be always there dreaming of having Leono sword and call friends for help.




See you later!

i want visit: Guayana!!!



 
Hi… today i will write about a contry i would  like visit.

For my is very difficult choose only one contry because i think that my favorit activity is travel, then i have a lot of countrys and places that i would visit.  Since 3 years ago, i watch a T.V. program about the virgin jungle, and with this show i discovered that the more virgin jungle in the Word is located in south america, on a bordering brazilian country, called Guayana.

If you look the map, you can see that on the Brasil there are 3 small countrys, the left to raigh: Guayana, Surinam and Guayana Francesa, but mi favorite is Guayana,  because have the virgin jungle, and on the Guayana there are a big bear comunity that eat ant, also on Guayana live the jaguar, and i could look in the trekkings tours.

The few information that i can find is that if i want visit Guayana, i travel to Manaus in Brazil, later to Boa Vista in the brazilian north, from there embark on a river, and later take a car to Georgetown, its capital (I read this information in differents blogs about travels).

I think my principal objetive with this trip is know the culturue and discover the nature entitenty Because in other trips could visit touristic place, but in this case, Guayana dosent have a touristic places
