people cannot gain anything without sacrificing something. you must present something of equal value in order to gain something. that is the principle of equivalent trade in alchemy.

we believed that was the truth of the world when we were young...

'85

twenty years ago i was in bed and my mother woke me up shouting and pulling me to get out of the house. the bed was shaking insanely and everything was moving from side to side. eventually my mother and i just had to stop in the middle of the stair 'cause we couldn't keep on going down. my father helped us out and bla, bla, bla... it was a happy ending for us but a tragic one for thousands of people. it was an 8.1 richter scale earthwake that mexico city remembers today. the following article is in spanish so get yourself back to your high school classes and read this beautiful text along with 8 photographs from sergio toledano.

adobe photoshop 2.5 splash screen (the first one ever)

i came across a beautiful site, judging that by it's content. i consider myself a digital graphics freak and have always loved the achievements users and developers have obtained throughout the digital era. for most of the population (with a computer and internet access) the name photoshop is not a stranger. this software has been giving us most of the images we've been consuming for more than a decade.

this site gives you a chronology of the program as well as some really interesting (for some of us) facts and images from all the versions that have been realeased. i started with photoshop 4.0 and it really makes me shed a tear when i see that interface. i think i can even remember some of the names of the developers in the splash screen... we've been together a long time my friend.
