Unshakeably inspiring.
For those who don't know the history I tell you that the street art seen in the photo is based on the famous USA "Rosie the Riveter" ad campaign from World War 11 where women were encouraged to work in the munitions factory because of a shortage of men who had been sent to war.
I also like the slogan associated with the ad: WE CAN DO IT!
I love this street art and it's one of my all time favorites in Barcelona. The older I get the more nostalgic I seem to be.
A photo is only as good as it subjects and I thought the pedestrian walking past the persiana typified the confidence and inspiration the ad suggested.
There are several old posters and artwork that I want to make an interpretation of. I aske my wife to pose in an interpretation of "Rosie the Riveter". She agreed on one condition. I had to emphasize that she is no feminist and promoting such propaganda pretty much goes agains what she believes in. In other words, I am a lucky man.
Lighting

No hago fotos oscuras, ni me autorretrato atormentada, aunque ganas no me faltan...No uso el flickr a modo de blog tampoco, aunque a veces creo que no estaría mal...
Me he sorprendido colocando este pedazo de título, y se lo dedico a las últimas semanas de curro que llevo, que deben ser las que inconscientemente han titulado la foto...
Paciencia a los de mi alrededor. Estoy, aunque seguramente he perdido un par de cetímetros en estos días, y mil kilos de memoria...Sé que me quieres igual auqnue me olvide de tu cumple Luca, pero no es buen signo.
De cualquier forma, todo esto no es más que un ejercicio de nihilismo del que algunos saben que me gusta practicar. Mi pozo no tiene más de 4 o 5 metros de caida. Mis crisis no me terminan de lanzar disparada en el otro sentido, como a veces deseo con todas mis fuerzas, y el lunes que viene será como los cuatro últimos por lo menos...
Os quiero...Hacía mucho que no lo decía...
