Dean O'Gorman Photography.

Today I want to talk to you about Dean O'Gorman's photography blog. If you have not already seen it, I would recommend you to give it a look. It's a minimalist blog that highlights the photographs.

But who is Dean O'Gorman?
As he said in his biography on the blog, Dean is an actor, a photographer and an artist from New Zeland. 

"He is widely recognized for his portraiture and constructed images of The Vietnam War and more recently The First World War as a way of exploring ideas of masculinity and the vulnerability of youth."

In 2012 he held his first exhibition about the Vietnam War at the Page Blackie Gallery in Wellington.

These pictures are simple but very effective. Especially the Vietnam War pictures (you can find them here) that I find extremely striking.

I am not a feminist.  Yes, I am a woman and I don't believe in feminism. It's not that I don't believe in equality between men and women, but the word already gives it away: "feminism". Not the best way to express the "lack of differences" between the two genders (which is bullshit, but this is not the purpose of this post).  I am interested in showing how different is for women to go out by themselves. It doesn't matter if it's day or night, if it's in a club on a Saturday night or during a sunny day in a park full of families. It doesn't matter if it's in a city or in a town. If you are not in the company of a "penis-equipped" person, there will always be someone ready to annoy you.  Everything started last weekend when two friends and I decided to make a trip to London to do something different. We were ready to go clubbing, so we left the hostel (in a quite central area of London) and we head to the bus stop.

10 curiosities you have to know about The Avengers: Age of Ultron

Are you excited to watch Marvel's new movie "Avengers: Age of Ultron"? Well, me too. I waited for so long and finally the day is close! Before watching it, here are 10 curiosities you must know about the Behind-the-Scenes. 1) To avoid Scarlett Johansson's baby bump being seen, the production casted three stand-ins of the beautiful actress. It confounded people on set, especially Chris Evans, who confused one of the doubles with his long-time friend. 2) Tony Stark will be armoured in his Mark XLIII , the new version of the Mark 42 . What are the differences? Exchangeable face, LED light-up eyes, arc reactor and a new range of repulsors. 3) James Spader, who will play Ultron, was chosen for this role thanks to his "calming and hypnotic voice". 4) In Seoul, to film the most extreme and special scenes, they used drones and remote control cars. 5) The costumes used in the film were created by the sports clothing line Unde

You've Got Mail

Hello, people! I already failed my purpose of writing every day, but here I am. Last night I watched "You've Got Mail", a film from 1998 with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. I already watched it a few years ago, but yesterday I looked at it with different eyes. When you get old you look at things in a different way.  It's quite amusing to watch a romantic comedy about two people that never met having a sort of relationship online in 1998. Even better when they talk about virtual sex and stuff like that. It's fun how the film shows how the computer worked at that time, making that weird noise every time they connected to the web. Or when Meg Ryan explains her frustration in waiting for the computer to connects to see her emails. "You've Got Mail" was released 17 years ago, but it is extremely ongoing.  They are two people that apparently never met but know a lot about each other, insomuch to fall in love. But at the same time, th
