salt

La mesa del domingo está llena de platos partidos,
recetas de tres abuelas distintas.
Discutimos de política y de fútbol,
pero seguimos pasándonos la sal.
Hay fronteras que sólo sirven para darle sabor a la comida.



The Sunday table is crowded with mismatched plates,
recipes from three different grandmothers.
We argue about politics and soccer,
yet keep passing the salt.
Some borders exist only to season the meal.



Ximena Cruz Villalobos, (1972– )

The Agfa Click-II (1959–1970) was a lightweight German 6×6 medium-format viewfinder camera with a fixed ~1/30s shutter, and an Agfa Acromat 1:8.8/72.5 mm two-element lens with fixed focus.

It used 120 roll film, yielding 12 exposures at 6×6 cm. The controls were simple: 2 apertures for sun (f/11), cloud/portrait (f/8.8), and a "close-up" mode (2.5–4 m). The Click-II produced soft, vignetted, almost dreamy images, a style later loved by Lomography users.

Today it’s remembered as a charming, lo-fi cult classic.
