ENG 1101: Composing Abstractions

I remember when I was a young boy and I just moved into the 109th Drive the house had a infestation of raccoons. The mother became road kill, the children were killed by my next door neighbor, but the father was the most crafty of them all. One evening my mother’s friend came over to patch up the hole that the raccoons dug up. Instead the raccoon jumped out the hole and ran towards me when my mother’s friend threw his pocket knife at the raccoon killing it. The next morning i ran to take out the garbage because it smelled like a slaughterhouse.

I wish I had a camera as I saw a drunken man standing at a bus stop. Using profanity, banging on the bus stop benches, frighting whoever crossed his path. His breath smelled like alcohol and toilet water. As a mother and her child passed by, the child said “Mommy why are there garbage bags with clothes in them at that bus stop. Is he Swiper’s brother?”

This passage speaks affluently about architecture and what are some of the practices that are no longer used due to the technological advances that makes drawing seem obscure. The passage has powerful points because society has found a more proficient way to design buildings without the use of free hand creativity, but without these ancient practices we wouldn’t have monumental structures such as the Taj Mahal, Colosseum, or the Eiffel Tower. Therefore, freehand creativity has as abundance as the technology in architecture.

This is a picture a did not take of me and my friend at Pinkberry. Entering in Pinkberry feeling the positive energy, we ordered our favorite ice cream, vanilla and fruits (strawberries, pineapple and Mango) and in the top glazed of caramel and honey. Each spoonful that I ate was a different sensation for my palate, the ice cream melting in my mouth, the bittersweet of the honey, caramel and the fruits making and explosion. The perfect combination.

This is picture I did not take of a friend and I playing frisbee at Central Park. I remember that I threw the frisbee as I never did before; with a great power that made the frisbee look good in the air! I thought my friend was not going to catch it, but I don’t know how he could run very fast and jump to catch the frisbee before it touch the grass, so he caught it incredibly; people around him even applauded him for his skillfulness. I wish I have had a camera to take that glorious jump.

This is a picture a did not take of a woman walking through the Brooklyn bridge. She was covering herself and a little kid of a pouring rain with a cardboard, both with worn clothing were shivering from the cold. I was trying to see their faces as the bus was run away from them, suddenly the child lift his head. His gaze was the most sadder gaze I had ever seen before.

This is a picture I did not take of a beach in my country. I was in the beach watching the most beautiful show, The Sunset. The sound of the wave colliding each other, the palm trees moving with the wind, the smells of the ocean, the colorful sky, blue, orange, pink  all this colors making the perfect sunset and the eagles flying and screaming. All the natural beauties plotting to the most beautiful sunset. It was amazing!

This is a picture I did not take of a girl who did not let any car parks. I was sitting down on the steps out of my apartment and then there was this girl who was standing on the street where cars park. I counted 5 cars that came to ask her to move away from there, but she didn’t. I guess she was taking care that spot for her husband’s car o something.

This is a picture I did not take of man who was trying of not missing the train. I was on the train and this guy ran so fast because the doors were closing!

This is a picture I did not take when I went to Ecuador. When I was returning, there was a girl who was crying for her love. I guess he was moving to another country. I could see her loneliness and despair! She grabbed him really strong as though it were the last time she was going see him
