De "lama's" (Lama glama) in Machu Picchu. IJdelheid en selfies


De "lama's" (Lama glama) in Machu Picchu. IJdelheid en selfies


Het is bekend dat de mode van selfies over de hele wereld wordt verspreid door het massale aanbod van smartphones (smartphones) met groot vermogen voor het genereren, opslaan en verwerken van beelden met een hoge resolutie; voor iedereen toegankelijk door de lage prijzen. Voor sommigen is de gewoonte om een ​​selfie te maken een mode en daarom tijdelijk. Voor anderen onthult de constante creatie van foto's een mentale of psychologische stoornis.

Dit potentiële probleem is een kwestie van mensen; Echter, in Machu Picchu, een autochtoon dier dat op deze plek woont, en dat de toeristen aanvaardt, tolereert en ermee in wisselwerking staat, komt het er naar uit dat het ook een neiging had voor de selfies.
De "vlam" (Lama glama ") is dit dier, dat alleen of in het gezelschap van toeristen, op zoek naar de te portretteren camera, met gratie en elegantie. In deze beelden lijkt het erop dat hij bewust naar de camera heeft uitgekeken.







In andere gevallen lijkt het erop dat hij poseerde alsof hij onverschillig stond tegenover de camera. Je kunt naar oneindigheid kijken of met trots overdenken, je domeinen, je territorium, de citadel van Machu Picchu.







De 'lama' is geen solitair wezen, zoals de vorige foto's lijken aan te geven. Eigenlijk co-existeert hij met mensen, met wie hij een grote affiniteit heeft.

The "llamas" (Lama glama) in Machu Picchu. Vanity and selfies



It is known that the fashion of selfies is spread throughout the world by the massive offer of smartphones (smartphones) with great power for the generation, storage and processing of high resolution images; accessible to all by the low prices. For some, the habit of taking a selfie is a fashion, and therefore, temporary. For others, the constant creation of photographs reveals a mental or psychological disorder.

This potential problem is a matter of humans; however, in Machu Picchu, an autochthonous animal that inhabits this place, and that accepts, tolerates and interacts with the tourists that arrive continuously to this place, it seems that it also had an inclination for the selfies
The "flame" (Lama glama ") is this animal, that alone or in the company of tourists, looking for the camera to be portrayed, with grace and elegance. In these images it seems that he deliberately looked for the camera.








In other cases, it seems that he posed as if he were indifferent to the camera. You can look towards infinity or contemplate with pride, your domains, your territory, the citadel of Machu Picchu.







The "llama" is not a solitary creature, as the previous photos seem to indicate. Actually, he coexists with humans, with whom he has a great affinity.

Machu Picchu, panoramic views

Machu Picchu, Panoramic views



The archaeological complex of Machu Picchu impresses from the first approach, from the first glance, either in detail or the panoramic view. When one is in the physical place, the emotions are indescribable.





In detail, you are in the same Machu Picchu, going through the esplanades, entering the rooms where rituals were performed, feeling with your hands the perfect union between the stones, trying to understand the mystery that remains in the place through the murmur of the wind that sneaks between the stone walls.





In the panoramic view, you can capture the harmony of the whole, perceive the surroundings, the wealth of nuances of colors and shapes of the temples, squares, terraces and everything that is part of Machu Picchu. Sometimes, the weather is bad, and in spite of that, the majesty and beauty of the place is not lost. Beauty, majesty and mystery always prevail





On this occasion, I present only panoramic views of Machu Picchu. The diversity of colors, approaches, tones is impressive and if you are a good observer, you will always discover some new detail in each photo.





Some photographs were taken by professionals, others by amateurs. It changes the focus, the style, the type of camera, the difference of techniques can be enormous, but the emotion, and satisfaction for being spectators of the magical world of Machu Picchu are the same.

Martin Chambi, photographer of Machu Picchu

Machu Picchu and Martin Chambi



Hiram Bingham was not the first to reach Machu Picchu and be amazed, but had the merit of being the first person to recognize the importance of the ruins. Others had him preceded.

Martin Chambi, Peruvian photographer, took care to show the world the charm and majesty of Machu Picchu with a set of beautiful pictures, in black and white, that impact the quality of the frames and content of the photographs.




Martin Chambi Jiménez (November 5, 1891, September 13, 1973) was born in the Puno province of Carabaya, Puno. Coming from a family of farmers, he became over the years one of the most important photographers who had the Peru.



Chambi knew how to portray their true essence in the life of his time in the countryside and the city. He is considered a pioneer of portrait photography. Recognized for his pictures of deep biological and ethnic witness, profoundly he portrayed the Peruvian population, both indigenous and the population in general.





Chambi was a documentary photographer, so do not cancel his artistic talent. The photographs of Machu Picchu income portray a citadel abandoned and still dominated by the jungle, but also exposed from their frames, with shadows and approaches, the monumental nature of the place.

Between 1924 and 1928, Martin Chambi and Juan Manuel Figueroa took many pictures in Machu Picchu that were published in different Peruvian magazines, massifying local interest on the ruins and turning them into a national symbol.





According to Teo Allain, his grandson, Machu Picchu was one of his favorite places, which is reflected in the extensive photographic record of the place. "My grandfather respected Machu Picchu by their remoteness and majesty," says Allain, who retains scanned images and several hundred more plates. He does not remember how many times Martin Chambi went to the structure considered today a wonder of the world.

Vargas Llosa says about Chambi:

"It's risky overemphasize the testimonial value of your pictures. They have it, too, but they express it to him as much as the environment in which he lived and witnessed (...) that when you put a camera behind a giant, a true inventor force, recreating life "became.





Martin Chambi always sought to learn more about their craft, learn from their elders in Arequipa (where very young he met the Vargas brothers), in Cuzco, Lima or abroad.
