Why don’t you kickstart the photographer in you by visiting Mario Testino’s exhibition at MALBA (Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires ) in Argentina?
You’ve seen all of his photographs already in numerous fashion magazines, so submerse yourself with his time-sensitive “In Your Face” exhibition. The Peruvian world-renowned photographer has life-size, giant masterpieces spread out in spacious rooms. From Madonna’s CD cover to Kate Moss’ most celebrated magazine covers, you’ll be stepping inside a time capsule of pop culture, in vivid colors. Malba, Av Pres. Figueroa Alcorta 3415, C1425CLA Buenos Aires, Argentina (map, website). Exhibition until June 16, 2014. Why don’t you just take your car and go for a ride. Not just for an afternoon, take the weekend off! No laundry days, no couch time with the TV. Just a spontaneous road trip, even to a city just a few hours away. Cruisin’ does wonders to the soul.
Why don’t you take the time to listen…to the voice of someone you love. You’d be surprised at the power of your attention and what that may do to a friend or a family member. Your undivided moment dedicated to a person that matters will only validate the fact that he or she does matter to you and to the world.
