花見 (Hanami-"ver flores")

Today I going to talk about my favorite festivity. 

Hanami is a festivity or tradition belonging in Japan, in which the flowers of cherry or "sakura" are observed. 

It starts in March even April, families visit gardens and parks usually they does picnics. 

This festivity have many years, is celebrated since the time "Nara" (century VII), and indicate the beginning of the new stage more beautiful and fruitful. 

Hanami it´s related to the emblem of the "Samurai" warriors, because it means that the warrior must show it´s glory in battle and not wither as the cherry blossom.

The forecast flowering Hanami is announced each year by the office of meteorology, the first cherry blossoms of the year on the island Okinawa and the last in Hokkaido. 

My dream is to travel to Japan to participate in Hanami, take lots of photographs and share a picnic down a cherry tree, because I think it´s a beautiful tradition, the flower symbolizes the beginning of something new, beautiful and the promise of something more warm.

Critical photograph

Hi, today I´m writing about a photograph that capture my attention.

This imagen is really impressive, and was took it by Kevin Carter.
He´s a grafic reporter South African, he was born in 1960 in Johannesburgo and he died in 1994 because of suicide.
The photografh is about a kid malnourished of Africa and nearby his placed a buzzard; this cause a bad social  reviews to Carter.
I like it this photografh because is interesting for think about the reality in others countrys called "developing", where the people is living famine, malnutricion, poverty, etc., and reflect on social inequality and injustice as a result of capitalism and his consequence. Today is necessary search for resolve socials problems, and I think that through my profession (social work) could take part in the solution to problem.
I believe that a photograph says more that a word, because through his we can looking and  confront face to face with the social reality.
