The Caballo marino chilote (chilote sea horse) is an aquatic creature of the Chilote mythology of Chile, that bears some resemblance to the hippocampus. Legend says that the “Caballo marino chilote” is an invisible creature, which could only be seen by those with magical powers. The creature would look like a normal horse, but would have the longer snout, golden mane, four paws in the form of fins, and a long tail, similar to the tail of a fish. Exist in various sizes, from dwarfs to giants. The Brujo Chilote (a type of sorcerer and warlocks) would use as transportation to get to the Caleuche ghost ship. - Source Graphite on Paper,  Sebastián Farfán, Eriza

Antes de morir… (Before I die…)

Public art project at Centro Cultural Gabriela Mistral where people are asked to share their last wish or a goal they want to achieve before passing away. Inspired by an identical experiment in New Orleans last year and now replicated in a numerous cities around the world.

Announcing a new blog: Rouge y Pistolas

I’m getting a lot of positive feedback on my carabineras photos. The word is spreading. People love that these beautiful Chilenas maintain their strong sense of femininity, whilst also being powerful independent role models. The contrast of the rough outer shell of the uniform with the soft sensual lips, vulnerable eyes and thick dark lashes is an intoxicating mix.

Now you can see all your favourite carabineras photos in one place with a blog from Chile’s foremost photographer of carabineras in the wild… Rouge y Pistolas

Photos from today’s Zombie Walk here in Santiago. An annual event that draws thousands of people onto the streets in their most gory costumes and makeup.
