"Los tiempos han cambiado,
dicen que ya no hay nada nuevo,
que las cosas se reinventan - se mejoran - transmutan 
todas estas mujeres tienen algo en común: 
 poses que reflejan el estado de ánimo, ya sea que transmitan sensualidad, 
seguridad, femineidad, elegancia, fuerza, poder, sexo, androginismo, 
naturalidad, exageración,
cualquier mujer, chica, joven se siente identificada con la modelo
de los 60´s, 30´s, 90´s y contemporáneo, 
lo interesante de esta selección
y a modo de ejercicio personal que deseo compartir con ustedes es el 
estilo en que fueron fotografiadas, la variación, desde el tipo de
camara fotografica, tipo de rollo, luz, blanco y negro en diferentes épocas, 
el uso de la pintura para retocar, excentricidad, la moralidad de la aristocracia, 
hasta la técnica del photoshop, que en lo personal ni un estilo ni el moderno
desmerecen el resultado obtenido"


"Los tiempos cambian, las mujeres cambiamos, la gama de camáras fotograficas aumenta, 
pero el impacto de una imagen y el gusto-placer-hobbie-pasión de plasmar en palabras
visuales no cambiará"
