::: pictures : last two weeks :::

In the mirror.. a little narcissism for starters...




DJ Paula Burgos just before a set for a local radio station in a weird bar called Mambo. Washington was there too.. but he was moving too fast to be captured by this slow and low quality camera...




El Planta aka Sebastian Garat, waiting at Mambo for the djs to arrive...




Planta again, closer and darker shot... Planta has recently realized he cannot fight with his nickname, so he actually made a gardening company after temporarily retiring from his career as a cook. So, finally you know someone to trust the pruning of your "medicine" plants... All the best with your new business!!




Tortuga a.k.a David Wolff at the doping-test facilities in La Salita... He was celebrating his girlfriend's birthday that night...




Michelle Letelier, the best girl in town. In spite of her name, she actually does not speak french but german. Great artist, she does video installations and photography. She keeps her low profile and works like few artists do. Checkout her excellent website NOWHERE. Some people claim she works for an international mob of "something" and mysterious money comes into her account.. do not pay attention to those mean-intentioned gossips...




The yet-to-be famous chilean artist Diego Hernández at José Miguel Salazar's place. Buy his paintings today, tomorrow they will be too expensive!




DJ Vanyla, the same night. He played fucking good last saturday at Minga (do not mistake with a really bad internet radio station), a nice underground spot in Irarrazaval 457 (beware the goth kids at Balleduc righ beside...) Check his wonderful website mynews.




José Miguel, our host that night. Besides being a lawyer, he is one of the few music collectors of this country and probably the most demanding critic of the local scene. Few people have ever heard a praise come out from his lips. God, he has some music...




Chugo Avez, fictional character that fills the freudian need for a father for many underground and not-so-underground urban tribes. He likes to collect lost rich kids from the streets and give them a reason to live by any means available. Many people doubt he actually exists, claiming the fact that since no killing attempt has ever worked on him this would contradict the freudian imperative to kill the father. This blurry image does not account for a proof of existence...




DJ Lari, aka Andrés Zanzi, playing incognito in Santiago CL for RINFM, the first and best and only chilean internet radio station.




Headshot of Lariboy. Lari is currently staying for some months in Chile taking advantage of the swedish postnatal social benefits... He is doing a career in the swedish government, so watch out, perhaps one day the swedish presidend will be chilean indeed... and a DJ too....




Camila Berger, at her place one night, designer and art director of a local fashion magazine. I always been in love with her, but she doesn't take me seriously...




My friend, the poet and Ivy League PhD Matías Ayala...




José Antonio Cousiño, aka Cow or Cou, another of my friends with sounding family names but no money in their bank accounts... Besides being a psychologist (good and cheap, if you need assistance ask for his number...) he does massage clases at ManPower... sick bastard!




She's the one to blame I exist at all, my mom. In Valparaiso, eating a nice corvina at Cafe Turri. I really appreciate she went with me to try the motorcycle I want to buy, even when no mother wants his little son to ride such machines...




Michelle Gravel, another girl with a french name that doesn't speak a word of french. She is a producer of a local fashion magazine and the new girfriend of my friend Benjamin below.




Benjamín Echazarreta, the original guachupé, now back in chilly country after perfectioning his filming technics in France for several years. He even went to Cannes as the cinematographer of a short movie that was this close to win the big prize. Too sad that in Chile his only option to make money is doing stupid advertising... But he's in love and that will fill the gap. We're very happy to have him back. Thank you Michelle!!




These last two picture were taken in the Santiago Film Festival at the CineHoyts La Reina, right before we entered to see Tarnation. Great movie, but too much ego involved.. come on... there are bigger problems on earth than your own fucking sexual traumas!
