I love NY

By Chuma Montemayor

There you go again, with shaky legs and eyelids, your index finger flexes, the desire. You won’t pass by the kitchen, there is no time, coffee on the plane you mumble, convincing yourself that you don’t need it, uselessly clenching your jaw, yawning, stretching and whining. Who books a flight at 5am? Who? Everything’s heavy, a dense beam of light reaches you from the bathroom and you squint, turning your neck, you flee increasing the pace. It’s time, you’re finally at the shelf, hands on your waist, you look at her, they look at you, seventeen analog glass eyes looking at you and in your slow hurry you ask yourself, you ask them: Who the fuck wants to go? And you picture them discussing, shuttering, arguing about who and why. In the darkness the silence grows until a Canon, the youngest of all, takes a step forward surrounded by your best known film rolls: Tmax and Portra, both Kodak, both iso 400. -Come on then, I thought, let’s go to unknown land but with known weapons.

Meet the Artist: Selma Fernandez Richter

This week I’m very glad to bring to you a photographer I have seen grow in time, Selma Fernandez Richter. A portraiture artist born in Oaxaca, Mexico residing in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Fernandez has been exploring themes that relate to identity through a connection with a place, adaptation and religion. Most of her late work is done in film, in a unique way where she relates to people no matter their religion or culture. One of her biggest strengths is that she is able to capture moments and feelings that speak for themselves and where the engagement she has with this world is shown in each and every portrait she does. Selma Fernandez also works as a photo workshop producer, including Mary Ellen’s Mark workshops in Oaxaca, Mexico and New York.

  You can see her series Ephimeral City at COLEC7IVA here.
