It's been a while.

Therefore, I think its appropiate that I fill you in with stuff that has been going on in my life.

As you know, I was gonna return to Venezuela (last blog dixit). So, here I am, it's been a month already and I', still trying to fit in into the old life style. Thing is, same way I never felt like...

I write this at almost 4AM, with a bit of insomnia and with a thousand thoughts and many more on my head,

My account is about to expire, but since I managed to sell some of the stuff (more on that later), I guess it doesn't hurt to add one more year. Silly as it sounds, I've come to need this place, in a way....

So, here is the deal.

I have a massive case of insomnia. So, in that spirit, I was thinking about opening a fight club here at Gracia. Then I realized I am a lousy brawler and so I did the next best thing, I grabbed my camera at 5am, got into the subway and hit the beach,

Here's the result, more or less.

Btw, massive...

Well, winter mode is on, full rage.

I don't think I need to tell you it's been pretty cold here in Europe lately, you all read/watch the news (I hope).
However, let me express my most sincere feelings regarding this siberian cold wave.

I'm FREEZING MY ASS!

There.

I'm sorry, I know that compared to, idk, Ukraine, we have it very easy here next to...

All my bags are packed and I'm ready to go.
Tomorrow I'll be leaving for my hometown to spend the holidays with my family and friends. I'll be there till january, roughly a month. As usual, I'm really looking forward for this time of the year, the one chance I get to spend with my family, the one I was born into...

Today I took a symbolic step.

I bought a new camera, on my own, using money I worked for. It sounds kinds of silly, I know, but having gone through a difficult year, barely working, barely doing anything useful, it's good to know that fruits eventually come, this time in the shape of a nice little new camera (a Canon 600D, entry level, but very...

Basically is the only thing that is keeping me from loosing my sanity, this year, despite some very good things, has been not what i expected it to be, and definitely not what i want...

Today I decided to change my old handle from college. So, from now on I am just Rafa (but I am still Napo for my dear friends like Araid or Sper).
Now, since i wanted to remember why I started a whole now life across the ocean and decided to bet on it, I just added the word Kino, which I am sure you...

Greetins, sinners...

Well, my trip to Madrid went great. Had a wonderful time with my friend over there. Had time to rest, to eat, to have some beers, to help a friend on a film shooting, to catch up on my photography hobby, to read. It was an excellent retreat, I hop I can do it again soon, perhaps in Rome? or Southern France? oh...

I hadn''t noticed that I've been away for over a month.
Then again, truth be told, there is really nothing much to tell, I mean, there has been a couple of things going on , but I guess that being busy also kept me distracted.
Anyway, last month we shoot two short films at school, in one of them I was script, erm, boy? i...

And we are back...

Last night was Nit de Sant Joan (Saint John's Eve), probably the one local celebration I really really enjoy (well, that and La Merc). Is basically a huge citywide party to celebrate the arrival of summer. Bonfires ar lit on the beach, people gather to feast and drink, and set things on fire with as much firecrackers as possible.
I like...
