BLOG 5 - A Photograph and Its Story
Hello class again! Here we are giving our best on our fourth post. On this occasion, we will talk about photographs. Maybe you like a picture of a landscape or that special pet you care of so much. Once I read, 'snapshots are a reflection of our memories, a cut of time preserved for the future'. Here are the points to be considered:
- Who took it?
- What it shows?
- When it was taken?
- Why you like it? (give a couple of reasons)
- Upload it too?

A SUMMER DAY AT THE BEACH IN THE SOUTH OF CHILE
Penco is a small town near Concepión. I captured this picture many years back. What I liked at that moment, was the fact that people were enjoying a warm summer day under the sun. There were dozens of sunshades across the beach. Children were drinking juice and youngsters were playing paddle ball laughing abundantly!
I remember people's voices, they all sounded so relaxed and happy. Some ladies were analysing the last events happening at their favourite soap opera. Some men were reading the local newspaper and some others were listening a sport game on the radio. The air was filled with an gentle noise and ambiance of families and good humour.
Time to time a 'micro' passed by announcing their way back to 'Conce' and some vendors were shouting out their products at lunchtime "pescao frito con papas mayo"...It was a lovely day at the south strolling about in Penco beach.
The weather was so perfect that day, the funny thing is that the next day was raining profusely! Another interesting fact is that the photograph was taken while I was enjoying a tomato and salt. Out of 36 I got only 12 good, the rest went all blurry!
Good old days I would recall.

ReplyDeleteI love vacation photos! and your photo shows everything you say: perfect wheather, happy and relaxed people. The only thing missing is a photo of the tomate with salt.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely the way you talk about that picture and how do you remember that moment in 'Penco'. I would like to know when was this for the kind of photograph.
ReplyDeleteI was there, with my mother and brother, it was a bad day because the rain soaked my backpack with the week's clothes, then the whole week smelled musty.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a very good moment on your vacations, I remember eat tomato and salt sometimes too, it’s nice that you have photos of your childhood vacations, I don’t have any. :(
ReplyDeleteIt's great the landscape of the photo, and the quality is good even though it was taken ago several years. I would like to know how it will be now.
ReplyDeleteThe photos taken during the holidays are special, because they are taken in such spontaneous moments that they perfectly preserve what was happening at that moment and that is why when one sees them some time later, one can still remember as if it had been yesterday.
ReplyDeleteNice photo, I hope you tried the fried fish with potatoes, after the tomato with salt haha... It's nice the place, too bad it has changed so much :(.
ReplyDeleteIt is a very good photo, I really miss the vacations of the past, when people enjoy, laughed, played on the beach, and especially when they kept it clean :(
ReplyDeleteGood photo teacher! I don't know why, but these types of old photos have always made me nostalgic. Maybe it's because the past time was better and I can't go back to those moments where I was happy.
