How did they end up here? Were they walking through the mountains and suddenly thought: “this is a good spot, let’s start building?�
It’s surrealistic, wandering between these rocks and strange buildings which once were the center of an empire. People actually lived here, in a way of living you can’t even imagine and will never understand. Their spiritual habits and symbolic rituals were all dominated by the will of mother earth. We will never be as close to this planet as they ever were. Building a pyramid with 365 niches and celebrating them as they were representing important events through the year, like harvest and full moon … that is poetry.

There was nothing else to see but my own pants.

… my first Lomo camera, a Lomo LC-A +.
Mr Stieno Latino got me very excited about these camera’s. Soon i’ll be taking lomographics myself, can’t wait!

I truly hope the mexican ‘aduana’ won’t start making importing this camera hard on me, as they did with my computer!
Otherwise ’soon’ will not be soon at all. Mexicans are so slo-o-ow.

Before&After is an online magazine with design tips. They are not all as useful as the other so i’m not paying for them. But some are for free and sometimes it’s worth to have a quick look at these tutorials.
