(I miss) So many things. Mostly, a philosophical and emotional sense of what life was like. Which had to do with our age and the time we were living in and the innocence of it all, the positive nature and the sense that we could do anything we wanted to do.—Amy Arbus

Echo de menos tantas cosas. Sobre todo, un sentido emocional y filosófico de lo que era la vida. Que tenía que ver con nuestra edad y la época que estábamos viviendo y la inocencia de todo eso, la naturaleza positiva y la sensación de que podíamos hacer todo lo que quisieramos.—Amy Arbus

    Wow, vaya documento gráfico! Increíble :) Me gusta especialmente el hecho de que todos sean tan diferentes entre sí y, a la vez, todos interesantes.

    Estas fotos me traen nostalgia de los 80′, que despreocupados vivíamos y como nos divertíamos con nuestras locuras (sin hipotecas, sin crisis, ….)

    No es por criticar, de verdad. Pero duele ver dos faltas de ortografía en apenas cuatro líneas.

    No existe “hechar de menos” sino “echar de menos” y sobre todo se escribe separado porque es una locución adverbial. “Sobretodo” es sinónimo de abrigo.

    Pero gracias por compartir esta entrevista. ¡Es genial!

      no hace falta que te duela, imagino que hechar y echar es una de esas que siempre me pasan…Te agradezco el comentario, un saludo
