Hi FAU Bloggers,
Today I’d like you to write about a photograph you took. I’d like to show you a photograph that I took that I really like. I took it in Valparaiso 5 or 6 years ago. It was taken at the exit of El Peral elevator which takes passengers from Plaza de la Justicia up to Paseo Yugoslavo en Cerro Alegre. I’d gone there to give a mini-tour of Valparaiso to some of my family who were here in Chile on holiday. I’m quite a fan of street art when it’s harmonious with the surroundings and when I saw the figure with the birds on his arms I thought it was just what you’d expect to find on “Happy Hill”. I think the artwork has real charm. I especially like the effect from the different sized eyes. I guess I’m proud of the photo, not because of any special technical ability, but simply because I created a better than average image. I use this image as the screen saver on my PC and as the background on my Facebook page. I went back to Valparaiso about a year ago and this figure had been defaced and it was in bad shape. I did however find another piece of art by the same artist. It was on a stairwell in the same neighbourhood. I think it was just the little “little prince” and one bird.

Good Photo! I like the street art! In Departamental, close to Panamericana there are a lot of paintings in every wall of a block building. Have you ever seen?
ReplyDeleteSimon! Valparaiso is a beautifull city indeed, and the street art there is amazing, I been just couple times to valparaiso and i just love it, the vibe, the ocean sourrounding you at all times the architecture, just a magnificent city. i specially like the street art at cerro polanco there is something special there, i dont know what.
ReplyDeletealso, come read my blog (;
Nice photo! I'm not an expert in the topic but you can feel something special about it. Street art is also a beautiful way to beautify buildings and walls when it interacts with the surroundings and, from what I know, Valparaíso is very rich in that aspect. I wish I can visit this city very soon!
ReplyDeleteLove Valparaiso, is a very entertaining city!
ReplyDeleteHi Mr. Simon, I liked this work because I like photography, I do not consider me a photographer but sometimes I like to capture the moments, and your post is very nice, it is a good wall art. I like it too. Bye :)
