light/luz {11/52}

Yo no te pido

Yo no te pido que me bajes

una estrella azul

solo te pido que mi espacio

llenes con tu luz.

Yo no te pido que me firmes

diez papeles grises para amar

sólo te pido que tu quieras

las palomas que suelo mirar.

De lo pasado no lo voy a negar

el futuro algún día llegara

y del presente

que le importa a la gente

si es que siempre van a hablar.

Sigue llenando este minuto

de razones para respirar

no me complazcas no te niegues

no hables por hablar.

Yo no te pido que me bajes

una estrella azul

solo te pido que mi espacio

llenes con tu luz.

~Mario Benedetti

A Rejuvenating Moment

As a photographer, I don't have that many self-pictures taken by me. I would really love to learn the art of taking self-portraits, but I find it quite challenging. The picture above was taken by me sometime last year. It took me about twenty shots to get the desired look I was going for. This is what I did... I put my camera on self-timer and used my dresser as a tripod - because unfortunately - my tripod broke. Then I ran over to my bed, posed quickly and came back again to see if I had a the "one" shot. My little girl thought I was crazy! Lol By the way, I'm still without a tripod! :( And this was the final shot... This photo was featured on the Divas and Dreams blog. ;)
