los mineros del oro

My dad and I traveled around Colorado during two summers. We tried our luck as gold miners in the river. We explored  abandoned mines and ghost towns. This is the video of that time. Part documentary, part family chronicle. Part 1. In Spanish and English with Spanish subtitles. There’s drinking. There’s playing with dirt by the river. There’s driving a white  van (yes, kidnapper-style) up and down the Rockies.  And there’s the people we met. Some part historian, others part miner, many part character from a different era.

2001: A Space Odyssey – The Monolith On The Moon

El sol de agosto derretía las velas en mi ventana. Y el sol de agosto me despertaba a las 6 de la mañana por donde crecía detrás de montañas verdes y ordenaba su imperio y mandaba a su gente a trabajar y a los parranderos ajishi a dormir.

Desde mi venta la ciudad de Busan en su fin oriental. De noche y de dia sus taxistas y sus profes de ingles y sus prostitutas de pierna larga que se suben a autos negros y sus peluqueras y sus niños enfermos y sus niños felices y su gente sin y con trabajo vagan bajo mi ventana. Felices y miserables y apunto de su autodestrucción.  Y se van y vuelven y se van otra vez. A mi amor, la ciudad de la Montaña Caldera.
