Profesional, educador, padre, ciudadano con un punto de vista "político" claro; persona, ante todo y en suma... Todo lo pongo en evidencia, aunque sin vocación de mártir: tan solo me niego a ocultarme, a cargar con toda la responsabilidad de lo que me pasa... ¡de lo que NOS pasa! Porque en esta sociedad tenemos más de un "armario" que airear. Un saludo a todo el que se atreva.
No quisiera terminar esta introducción y bienvenida sin mencionar que las fotos -la mayoría de ellas- y demás material gráfico que se ve en este blog es obra del que se dirige a Vds. Espero que les guste.
Hi! This is Carlos A. Torres Velasco. I am a Spaniard teacher of Art in a Secondary School of Santander (Cantabria... No, not a bank!), and so I have been since 2001. The problem about addressing Anglo-Saxon people (or rather: almost any other people from wherever in the whole world) is that... you won´t understand a single word of all this! And I am sure the point of such a case will be difficult for you all to grasp: something about striving for a decent and professional way of living; something that has to do with wasting almost your entire professional life in a sort of "limbo"; with dignity and apparently aimless purposes too...
I spent quite a long period in Northern Ireland, and that is why I know the sort of "logic" that pushes forward your societies and the individuals within. Where this sort of "logic" is concerned, Spanish society is a far removed (very "stiff") kind of structure. Actually, this could be said about any aspect you might single out: politics, economy, industry, universities, investigation, trade... And such a "huge mistake", as it were, pervades ALL in this country; obviously, education, as a whole, is affected too. Our personal lives as well: very deeply.
If you don´t have the "guts" to dive so profoundly, then just "enjoy" my few photographs here and there. I hope you will not be discouraged... Thanks a lot!
