A zebra crossing photograph

The picture that I’m going to talk about is the cover of Abbey Road album, the last album that recorded by The Beatles. 

Here it is, so you can see it, do yo like it?

The picture was taken by Iain Macmillan, in August of 1969. It shows The Beatles walking across the street, outside EMI studios, where they recorded the album, located on Abbey Road with Grove End Road. In the picture, you can see the band in a single file. The order of appearance from left to right is Harrison, McCartney, Starr and Lennon.  

This picture has a lot of curious details. For example, Paul McCartney is the only one without shoes and has the wrong foot foward. Also, there is a Volkswagen parking on the left side of the street, that after appear on the cover album, the number plate was stolen several times, and today the whole car is in a museum. Another curious thing is that the photographer only could take six pictures, because that street had a lot of traffic. The photograph has been source of a myth too. It says that Paul is dead and the picture was representing a funeral procession. 

I like this picture because I think is simple, creative, different, irreverent, specialy if we think about the time when it was taken. Also, I like it because The Beatles are in it, and I love them. I believe they are very good musician and never will be a band like them, because they cause a revolution in music. This picture is important to me in this moment because lately I’m listening The Beatles a lot, and the whole Abbey Road album is a landmark in the band’s carrer.

My TV addictions

Over the years, TV serial has become part of our lifes. Their role in our societies is mostly, entertain. But also, TV serial can show different realities and, in some way, they are art.

People like TV serial because they tell a story, like a movie or a book. The difference is that they are longer, so people can be watching a story in short parts but for a long time, usually six months. That doesn’t mean that they don’t have a bad side. Their bad side is that sometimes TV serial shows realities that are not real and sometimes people misinterpret them.

I have two favorites TV serial. One of them is very light and it’s about teenagers and their gossips. I like it because it distracts me and it is fun. Besides I started to see it a few years ago, and I feel that it has joined me thru the years. My other favorite TV serial is a thriller. It’s about serial killers and FBI’s detectives that use psychoanalysis to catch the bad guys. I like it because I like detective serials and I think that this psychoanalysis thing is very fun and interesting. Other reason why I like it is because it makes me feel adrenaline. I saw them every week, but I hate when the season is over because I have to wait six months to see new episodes.

To finish this, I’m giving you a tip so you can see TV serial: you can watch them online, all the season, free, without commercials, and all the seasons whenever you want!!! One of the sites that give that service is www.cuevana.tv.

Hope you enjoy it!!!
