Long time no see guys. After the craziness of the holidays and the craziness of getting back into the school/class routine's ( yes, it takes me at least a good three weeks to get organized) I am ready to tell you that my new children's website is up!!!!!!!! I have been working hard to finisFebruary knocks on my door. Mission accomplished.
Go to

and check it out!
It was a hard process but sure worth it.
Our three week Miami vacation was amazing, Maia finally doesn't throw up in a car every time we get in one ( unless is a NYC yellow cab of course ) she is now swimming like a dolphin or she would say " mami a mermaid" and my art Career is already starting to pick up some speed. I was interviewed on Venezuelan TV with skype for a live show that has an artsection on January the 13th, I am being interviewed for a website called zonaportatil.com and I am assistant professor in a lighting class at the International Center of Photography. yee haa! Loving all of it. Also Valentines day is around the corner and you and I have to strat thinking of a good Valentines day gift!
Maybe an art photo for your home, A beautiful book with images from our past shoots or some images of your child's favorite toy, blanky or shoes.
Elmo
Venezuelans in the mix, I have an AVILA Project that I made last year that has some beautiful images for your "missing Venezuela" kind of guy. Here are some samples for that.
Life has gotten great and Maia is so big now she is such a wonderful companion. At the end ladies it does become a fascinating experience. I loved the other years but this one up to now has been my favorite. I get stories and questions and thoughts from her and it just makes me so happy to finally be able to have a great day without any crazy tantrums, diapers, screams, etc etc etc. She is now my littlest of friends. I love her company. For some parents all stages are great. Even the whole breast feeding situation ( not for me at all) and thinking about having another child as hard as it is to realize that it's kind of a must is in the plans. I have come to a final decision, to all of those that have heard me go back and forth on the whole idea. It will be very hard for me to get back into it, But seriously in 4 years It will be amazing again! jajajaja
Maybe a dragon baby? jajaja dunno.
Well guys leave you with some images of the holidays, and a new recipe for the delicious Kale Salad. Kale is hard to cook but this is the best way to have it.
KALE SALAD
- I bunch of Kale
- 3 limes
- 3 tbsp of olive oil
- 1 1/2 tbsp of liquid Amino ( you can find this at whole foods) It is a natural soy protein sauce.
First wash your kale, cut stems off. In a jar or container you can close to shake the dressing put squeeze the 3 limes, trhow the 3 tbsp of olive oil and the amino. Shake well until well mixed. Then in the container where the kale is toss half of your dressing, with clean hands squeeze the kale and the dressing together very well, until you strat to notice the kale is softening. This you can do depending on how you like it. Some people like it softer than others.
Throw some dried salted almonds or some toasted sesame seeds in.
Enjoy!
