The picture that I most like it’s a photograph that I and my other three brothers (Eduardo, Claudia and Ivan) take us as a Christmas present for our parents the last year.
This picture was taken by the personal of this studio (which is located in the “Mall plaza Oeste”) approximately in the second week of December. In it, me and my brothers appears together with clothes of the nineteenth century, and also with some objects like sticks and newspaper of that time.
The story of this picture begins in the firsts days of December in 2010, when my big brother Eduardo has the idea that we all can take us a picture in one know photography studio called “El baúl de la abuela” (The grandmother’s trunk), which is characterized by take pictures like the old times, in black and white and with old clothes. Then, we go a saturday to the mall without my parents, and take the picture in a two hours I think. It was a lot of time because we have to dress us whit trousers, shirts, jackets and hats in the case of the men, and my sister with an old dress. Then we take our positions (the older brothers behind, and the smaller at the front) and took at least ten photographs in different positions (some sitting and others standing). A week later my big brother at the studio and choose the best picture and buy them.
I like this picture because I think is the best present we ever given to our parents (even my dad cry when we show them) and also because is one of the few photographs where I and all my brothers are together.
Cristian! You have two brother and a sister. You have a large family. I saw a picture part in your facebook. I think that your brother Eduardo was a very well idea with this picture. Do you question to your parents if they used that clothes in their young? It could be interesting to question.

ReplyDeleteAlmost all families have such pictures. The concept is very entertaining.
