I share an audio-slide show about Ines Valdivia Gonzalez, Mother Ines, an 84-year-old woman who runs the Sharing an audio-slide show about El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve in the Sierra Madre mountains of Chiapas, Mexico. El Triunfo is one of the most important protected nature areas in the world, and is situated in the southern part of Mexico's Chiapas state. It is a primary Pleistocene refuge and an endemic area for different groups of plants and animals. As the most diverse evergreen cloud forest in Mexico, and one of the most important sites for bird migration, the reserve is home to numerous species of birds including several of the rarest in Latin America like the Horned Guan and the long-tailed Resplendent Quetzal. El Triunfo is also home to hundreds of butterfly and amphibian species, spider monkeys, tapirs and five species of wildcats, including the jaguar. Audio slide-show production with a story photographed and recorded by four blind and visually impaired photographers showcasing the sounds of Mexico City's streets related to trades that are slowly but surely disappearing. The project was proposed by Gerardo Ramirez, who worked with his fellow students from the Sight of Emotion organization, Edgar Angeles, Jose Sebastian Munoz and Miguel Fabian. I edited the audio and photos and produced the audio-slide show.  Audio-slide show featuring pictures by Raul Lopez Esquivel, a blind man who learned to take pictures at a Sight of Emotion workshop that offers photography workshops for the blind and visually impaired. Lopez, who was born blind, photographed Paseo a Ciegas (Riding Blind), an initiative that takes people with special needs on bike rides using tandems along the main avenues of Mexico City every Sunday. I helped with the audio and production. Sharing an audio-slide show about the Mexican salamander, the ajolote (Ambystoma Mexicanum). Its name in the original Nauatl language is Axolotl, the acuatic name of the god Xolotl, twin brother of Quetzalcoatl. This amazing animal can regenerate almost every part of its body. In the audio-slide show I share information about this animal and also about the legend of god Xolotl, associated with this salamander.
Cuando trabajo en audiovisuales muchas veces tengo que suprimir pistas de audio muy interesantes y me gustaría publicar. Suelen ser comentarios sabios que hacen que entrevistar personas sea muy enriquecedor e interesante pero que no encajan en la historia final. Por fin encontré una forma de compartirlos. Empezando con la historia que hice de la convención internacional de payasos, la Feria de la Risa que organiza la Hermandad de Payasos Latinos A.C. voy a compartir estas pequeñas historias combinandolas con retratos de las personas o lugares que visite. Se puede pensar que es una clase de retratos audiovisuales.
