  • Ceci gets into a fight with her boss at one of the restaurants in El Caminito.  She was late because she was at school.  She eventually got fired from this place.

  • Ceci dances with Meme most of the time.  It is better to have a partner who knows her movements and with whom she can practice tango coreographies.
    LAT01-16-RunaKG-A-10.JPG
  • Ceci has to wear high heels as part of her attire on a daily basis.  Her feet suffer after hours of straight dancing day after day.  Ceci is 20 years old and has been dancing tango since the age of 11.  Her life and passion swirl around the sensual tango dance on the streets of El Caminito in Buenos Aires.  Here, she earns tips from tourists who watch her twirl and kick while they eat their meals.  Ceci's passion was handed down from her grandparents who started taking her to Milongas at a young age.  She tries to balance her work with her university, but most of her energy goes to dancing.  Here is a slice of the life of a tango dancer in the streets of Buenos Aires.

  • They number but ninety-three. Ninety-three out of four hundred. Ninety-three children recovered: 400 children disappeared. A mere handful — but a handful that proves that blood cannot be erased. They, the ninety-three saved from the nightmarish plan of a military dictatorship intent upon annihilating their identity, are living proof that not all can be hidden. Not all can be made to disappear.<br />
<br />
The military regime took power in Argentina on March 24, 1976. Most of the children they kidnapped were taken along with their parents or were born in one of the secret detention centers. The ninety-three who have been found to date were saved through the unceasing battle fought by their families and with the unwavering support of the Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo. Some of these children were simply abandoned. Some were given to families who adopted them without knowing their true identities. Others were kept by the very people who kidnapped their parents. But in all cases the intention was to erase their true identities, to break the family line so that the children would never be like their parents.<br />
<br />
I began to photograph those children, today men and women, in August, 2001. I wanted to show them next to a family member who worked for years to find them. For me, putting these two people in a single image represents the failure of the policy — of the terror — that the military dictatorship tried to impose. These photos attempt to show that lies could not defeat family bonds because the families, and the children themselves, persevered.<br />
<br />
By including a reproduction of a photograph of disappeared parents the two images become a unit, joining the present with the past. The essence of photography is to put what has been together with what is. The text tells us who they are, what happened to them, and how they became who they are today. The three elements — the text, the photo of the present, and the photo of the past — form a triptych that closes part of our history.<br />

They, the ninety-three saved from the nightmarish plan of a military dictatorship intent upon annihilating their identity, are living proof that not all can be hidden. Not all can be made to disappear.<br />
<br />
The military regime took power in Argentina on March 24, 1976. Most of the children they kidnapped were taken along with their parents or were born in one of the secret detention centers. The ninety-three who have been found to date were saved through the unceasing battle fought by their families and with the unwavering support of the Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo. Some of these children were simply abandoned. Some were given to families who adopted them without knowing their true identities. Others were kept by the very people who kidnapped their parents. But in all cases the intention was to erase their true identities, to break the family line so that the children would never be like their parents.<br />
<br />
I began to photograph those children, today men and women, in August, 2001. I wanted to show them next to a family member who worked for years to find them. For me, putting these two people in a single image represents the failure of the policy — of the terror — that the military dictatorship tried to impose. These photos attempt to show that lies could not defeat family bonds because the families, and the children themselves, persevered.<br />
<br />
By including a reproduction of a photograph of disappeared parents the two images become a unit, joining the present with the past. The essence of photography is to put what has been together with what is. The text tells us who they are, what happened to them, and how they became who they are today. The three elements — the text, the photo of the present, and the photo of the past — form a triptych that closes part of our history.<br />

  • The Paco<br />
<br />
The Paco is a drug that is killing some years miles of kids in Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Peru. Born in the suburbs of Buenos Aires shortly after the 2001 crisis, soon spread to other countries. Paco is done with the residue of cocaine mixed with more harmful substances such as dust or glass halogen lamps burned. In a few time dependence is total and you get to death, body slimming, teeth falling out, until I choke. The paco only costs 5 pesos in Argentina dose (one euro) and has a few seconds 1000 times stronger than regular cocaine. Most affected are the young kids from 12 to 17 years. The great tragedy is that this deadly drug was released from the poorest areas and is now becoming fashionable even in the middle class. Without some kind of unstoppable epidemic.<br />

  • Vista desde el interior del barrio Privado. Fundado en 1988, el country San Jorge Village fue construido sobre las tierras la familia Alzaga, una de las familias mas importante de la aristocracia Argentina. El barrio se encuentra a 30 kilometros de la ciudad de Buenos Aires. <br />
Serie: Argentina, Buenos Aires. Segun datos de 2011, en la region metropolitana, el 38% de la poblacion accedio a la clase media alta, como resultado del crecimiento economico acumulado de los ultimos a?os. Este sector se identifica como el principal impulsor del boom del consumo, destinando las mejoras de su ingreso anual (+11%, periodo 2006-2011) a la compra masiva de vehiculos, electrodomesticos,  viajes, servicios de medicina y educacion privada.<br />
Surgidos a partir de un decreto-ley de la última dictadura militar que fomentó su establecimiento, los countries conocieron su primer apogeo durante la neoliberal década de los '90. En palabras de la socióloga Maristella Svampa, en ese momento el virtual desmantelamiento del Estado y la seguridad social provocaron un fenómeno palpable de segregación en distintos niveles: mientras las clases populares conocieron un período de profundización de su situación de marginalidad y se multiplicaron los asentamientos precarios y las villas miseria, en paralelo, las clases medias y medias altas se refugiaron en su capacidad de gestionar privadamente la salud, la educación y la seguridad de sus familias, eligiendo como contexto de existencia los barrios cerrados o countries. La historia de esta familia es similar a la de las casi 290.000 personas que eligen vivir hoy en forma permanente en alguno de los 700 barrios cerrados del conurbano bonaerense argentino. Su historia es un relato de ascenso económico que narra la construcción de una vida ideal, cimentada en los consumos culturales, materiales y simbólicos que la clase media alta tiene como horizonte.La familia  (Horacio, su mujer Silvina y sus hijos Mercedes, Horacito y Titi) vive en el coun

  • Título: Juicio "Jefatura de Policía"<br />
<br />
Resumen: En el transcurso de 5 meses se desarrolló en Tucumán, el juicio por violaciones a los derechos humanos y torturas cometidos en la ex Jefatura de Policía, durante la última dictadura militar de Argentina en la década del 70. <br />
El ex jefe del Tercer Cuerpo de Ejército, Luciano Benjamín Menéndez, fue condenado a prisión perpetua e inhabilitación absoluta y perpetua el 8 de Julio; también fueron condenados el ex jefe de inteligencia de la policía tucumana, Roberto Heriberto Albornoz, y los ex policías Luis y Carlos De Cándido. <br />
Los cuatro represores fueron juzgados y condenados por la muerte y desaparición de 22 personas en el centro clandestino de detención “Jefatura de Policía”. <br />
En esta causa también estaban procesados Antonio Domingo Bussi, ex jefe de la 5ª Brigada del Ejército Argentino, con sede en San Miguel de Tucumán, y gobernador de facto entre diciembre de 1975 y diciembre de 1977, luego excluido del juicio por razones de salud, y los  represores Mario Albino Zimmerman y Alberto Luis Cattáneo, quienes fallecieron mientras se desarrollaba el debate.<br />
Esta fue la tercera de cinco condenas perpetuas que afronta Menéndez.<br />

  • Marcos, 89, and Monica, 87, have been married and living in their apartment in Buenos Aires, Argentina, for 65 years. In 2007, Monica was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Since that moment, her husband devoted all his time to take care of her. He has been exposed to suffering substantial changes in his life as well as a very strong physical and emotional impact, typical of someone who is gradually losing his companion of all his life. She passed away in July of 2011. The photographer has been documenting their struggle for 3 years. According to Alzheimer's Association, it is estimated now in 36 million the number of Alzheimer's patients all over the world. This disease is considered as a future epidemic because it mainly affects older people, and as life expectancy is annually increasing in global population, the disease is becoming increasingly common. By 2050, it is projected that the number of patients will have increased to over 115 million.

Sobre el ensayo "LA CRECIENTE":<br />
La Creciente es un ensayo fotográfico sobre la comunidad de isleños que vive en el Delta del Río Paraná. Fotografías de largas exposiciones nocturnas, tomadas en cámara de placa 4x5" e iluminadas con la luz de la luna, linternas y pequeños flashes. El Río Paraná es el segundo en tamaño en Sudamérica y recorre el sur de Brasil, Paraguay y Argentina. De esta fuente de agua viven más de 100 millones de personas y abastece a las ciudades de San Pablo, Asunción y Buenos Aires entre otras. Cuando el Paraná desemboca en el Río de la Plata se forma un Delta de cientos de pequeñas islas bajas y en formación. Para realizar este proyecto viví por más de dos años en estas islas, teniendo un contacto cotidiano con los isleños y los paisajes del Delta.
