hello good evening
I want to start by telling you a little
story about my life when I
I was four years old my dad died and
the truth is that having lost my
dad from an early age makes
have many shortcomings but one of the
most important deficiencies or that many
Sometimes nobody thinks is that memories
they begin to fade very fast I
I only have a brief time of memories
with my dad and the truth as I go
growing they forget me or more and more and
more who was he what little I can
remember my dad was made from
documents like photos as stories of
my brothers from my mom and that was it
that was helping me put together the
puzzle and inside that whole ball
of documents there was a special that was
very important that was the video of my
three years when I turned three years
at the beginning we saw it more than anything
to remind my dad to
remember me party of three years and good
it was too painful as my mom
I could never finish the video without
end in tears
it bothers me a little bit that and the
truth is that with the passage of time we
we realized that the recovery of
loss was very very slow and painful and
what we started to leave should I leave
should stop watching until the
video the problem got left
is that it also began to be
stolen in my memories the mentioned
video and good to not tell you the story
so long
when I one day in college I do not
I noticed that a service
digitization of the tapes
analogous
I get excited, it’s not like
I will not see my dad again
already for me my expectations of seeing the
video were that way
because I having forgotten the content
of the video completely
I was very, very, very excited in
to see with my dad was talking to my dad
unwrap what jokes will be
of which everyone talks about him
then I send the video to
digitize and the wait was
approximately two weeks
after two weeks of being
he waited and waited and waited for the video
the truth my anxiety and began to grow
too much because my expectations
they started to grow too much at last
I get the video with the password
here is your video so you can see
the result of the work and then the
I almost almost got sweaty
because it makes us hands down hands me
my feet trembled
that I’m going to see my dad again
if then method is clear that the
passwords to watch the video online
and this is a bit of what we can
see in the video there is nothing
there is nothing with gifts
but there’s nothing if I really do
was normal may be good or be
suppose that these will be my memories are
suppose that this was the most valuable thing that
he had and there’s nothing all look black
everything looks super super big bear and john
pass through the stages that say
or what about the courage to the
disappointment to resignation
I went through all those stages of fury
The first thing that occurred to me was to
find guilty is not who is the
guilty who made the video and so my
brother you were 12 years older than me
back then he was the one who did the
video recording was 15 years old
then I did think about what
this bastard like you did not think
make a good take of my dad
how it did not take more time because the
video lasts one hour and they are the best five
minutes of what I see of him and he’s
all super fuzzy literally
then little by little I was giving
account that then nothing to see that
be I was looking guilty not be
my brother is not to blame
he just did a very good job
to document what a party is and if
we start thinking to see if I ask
to any of you who please me
get your hands to make the video of my three
years or 15 years of an acquaintance or
to help me record the wedding of some
known and I give you a camera
Well, I was probably going to do a
very similar work that my brother did
will start to focus on very details
obvious as the memories as the
gifts such as clothing comes to
girlfriend or the quinceañera quinceañera
or the three-year-old is hardly us
let’s think about what we are
making a memory like that for the
eternity and that is going to mean
very much for one person in thousands of
years
we’re going to be portraying the obvious and
well here we start thinking if not
we left the context of partying
I started asking these questions
what are the things that we portray
normally trivial obvious things
alex simple not if now I
I asked them to remember which
are the last three four five photos
what they did with their phone, not because
now everyone makes a photo and
video no we all have 24 7 a
gadget to take photos
if you remember what they were
were the five photos that have their
phone apart from surely a
chingo of the month
apart from all that your photos of that go
to find surely they will find
a jet is elvis they are going to find pictures
of your plate of food are going to find
your dogs will find more fis
they will find no end of things
common and trivial and then with networks
We also give ourselves a little bit of social
of account that is what people
is portraying and the truth is that I
I started to investigate a little more
have these that are portraying the
people I did not jump up
this to some people who are doing
instagram analysis and then right now
I came across this slide where we see
what went up on Instagram
They went up at the end of the year 2016
about almost 300 million
photographs with the selphy 300 hashtag
millions with elf hashtags and after
that if we start looking for
photographs that have the hashtag food
if there are almost 200 million photos and those
they are only the ones with the hashtag and
they are only those that have the hashtag
in English not if we were to
think everything that we upload that does not have
the hashtag or that has no figure
area and in what language they are going to be
surely triple or quadruple
millions no and well I do not do this with
no intention that it sounds like that
they are alarming figures we are going to change
nothing to see is not simply me
I start thinking to see what it is that we
It does take a single that’s what
makes us take a picture of our food
and I really believe that what happens is
that when we want to take the
camera and pressing the button is because
we have a little sparkle like happiness
if here in the pancita we feel
something that I did here chingón take a
picture or how beautiful I am having it
I’m going to take a picture if then what
I’ll say is that it would like the
will smith in his movie is that of
this part quote from my life
this little part of my life quote
flame happiness that would happen then if
we realize that in this device
Mobile that it can imagine that in
this mobile device we have
saved a shit part dating
small of our life that is called
happiness
It would be super interesting because
then we would have a
invaluable opportunity to be able
start to thank the life of everything
what we have
we hardly see what
It contains our photos from a level
little bit deeper and I think that the
photos are a very clear example that
there are great things in our life
I the truth says the exercise that
I have enough friends on facebook and I
I put the exercise here, do a favor
send me the last picture they took
with his cell phone than a meme
last you did with the
cellular and wonderful things came to me
on the slide this picture of mónica
hegemonic picture that it is not
of my child who started to draw
little things with crayons imagine all
what could be grateful
you can be grateful that you have a
small is fine that that is
happy that surely paints because
he is happy that he has money to
buy crayons you’re seeing
grow you have all these wonders
in your life in such a simple photo
the next from my friend memo yes
striking the ue you are watching netflix
eating a snack and it can be a photo
x
you do the exercise I’m going to thank
what I have at this moment can be
thank you have the blessing of
to be able to rest that has the blessing
to have a pet that is warm
that you have food that you have wool to
pay in netflix this picture I love
because there are so many people in the world
that you do not have to eat that you have
to fill the food cart and
that is the greatest blessing that
many many we can have this photo me
said my friend Bethlehem I sent it to me
mom to see how I got the
decoration of my daughter’s room
bless and give thanks that you have a
daughter that you have the love of your mom
still that you have three generations
Oh , and you have money to be able
make a super nice decoration and
so we can not go with more and more more
more pictures not here not even day
I have to start saying why can
To be grateful, Monica is beautiful and is
perfect everything then the truth is that
through this exercise
I invite you to make your phone and
get to see the last photo the
penultimate whatever and see all the
wonderful things simply sum by
what can give thanks adds up that
until I almost lose it in the
account for how many things these
grateful because the truth of the world
right now is going through a stage
super dark and I think that I do not do anything
more I think there are many people who say
that the greatness of the human being begins
with thanks
So if we already have a
disgusting dependence on the phone
mobile we’re not all super addicted and
we all do not take it off our hands
at least it is a tool
so you can start to thank
we almost do not see it that way
Take a break in your day and say
Well, I’m going to see a picture a minute and I’m going
to see what it is and I will give thanks for
everything in that picture and be
wonderful
do not remember also every time
feel that spark of happiness though
be minimal of anything they want
keep well keep it if you take it
its time to focus people well
to the loved one or at the moment it does not happen to them
like the video of my brother who is
all fuzzy and all dark do not observe
good things
we photographers always say
that light is the most important thing and if the
light is important but I mean
mainly in light of the
loved ones
for us the light of his smile the
light of his most daily gestures the light
of their voices
that is what matters most if then
remember that now if I see low
the same perspective that is something in
what I can be grateful
after having seen the video of me
dad who is that at the time I was
extremely angry about this aspect of
that was not well recorded and all that
well in the video what I see
It’s a party that my dad gave me with a
stream of gifts if with a jet of
guests with a piñata with a cake
giant and if now I start thinking
let’s apply my own exercise
because I can be grateful because you can
be grateful because I had a
gigantic love show and that
it is much more valuable than any
clear memory and well focused that
could have aspired to have many
Thank you
and
