Corner View - número tres
This week theme in “Corner View” is Modes of Transportation!
I´m always taking crowded buses, and trolleybuses to move inside the city, but today I thought about trains…
I live near to an old station and I have listen to the sound of sirens and trains passing all my life. Trains in Cordoba are only freight trains, at least until now. There is a big plan of using the railroads and the existing structure to add a new way of local transportation.
I usually walk my dog following the railroads. The station and all that surrounds it are great photographic subjects!

La versión en Español:
El tema de esta semana en Corner View es Medios de Transporte!
Yo siempre viajo en colectivos y trolebuses llenos de gente, pero para hoy estuve pensando en los trenes.
Vivimos cerca de una vieja estación de trenes, y he eschuchado el sonido de las sirenas y de los trenes pasando toda mi vida. Los trenes en Córdoba son sólo de carga, al menos por ahora. Existe un plan de reutilizar las vías y la estructura existente para generar un nuevo medio de transporte local.
Generalmente paseo mi perra por las vías del tren. La estación y lo que la rodea son muy buenos temas para fotografiar!

"La historia que justifica y funda la fotografía en arte es la de la fotografía que se cuestiona a sí misma. (...) la fotografía creadora no se define ya como excelencia técnica, ni éxito estético, ni continuidad evolutiva en el tiempo. Se constituye como arte en la medida en que existe gente que hace fotos interrogándose sobre lo que es la fotografía."

Corner View - número dos
This week theme for “Corner View” is breakfast, one of my favorite meals of the day!
Normally we don´t have a lot of time to eat breakfast, but in the weekends we love to have it in one of the many cafés in the city, or in our own kitchen spending all the time we can.
I usually have some toast and a latte, but in the picture you can see a more typical selection: medialunas and café con leche…. Or croissants and a cafe au lait… with fresh orange juice made with the fruit we buy in a vegetable market nearby.
But I promised you something else… Mate!
Here it is! I usually have it every day after breakfast when I´m at work, but is a very common breakfast for most of the people in Argentina… actually, we drink mate at every hour of the day!
All you need is some yerba mate, a sort of tea that is cultivated in South America. You put the leaves in a cup (also) called mate, and you insert a straw called bombilla. Then you pour hot water in it… and you drink it… just like that…
Some people add sugar to mate, or herbs and fruits that change the flavor. It´s actually very bitter… so it takes a lot of time to truly love it (little children almost never drink mate… they just don´t like it… is something that you get accustomed whit time).
But at the end, the most important thing about mate is that is a social drink… something you share with others during a conversation. One person prepares mate for a group of people; everyone has his turn to drink it, sharing the same cup and straw. This helps a lot when you are talking to someone, when he or she is drinking… is your time to talk; when you are drinking… is your time to listen.
I hope you like it!
PS: I have also posted this in my photography blog “llorar en los colectivos”
