My name is Manuel Lopez Garcia, Photographer, as part of an individual project rescue our memory a photographer developed the minute hand, a character who is part of our intangible heritage.I intend to start from Valparaiso enhancement of trade in the city disappeared for fifteen years or so, which brings us closer to our roots photographs.¨ As in other facts of our history as a nation is the birthplace of Valparaiso in Chile photography. Indeed the daguerreotype had appeared in 1840. On June 6 of that year, El Mercurio de Valparaíso echoes the visit of Louis Copmte priest who, passing through the port, was carrying a camera, "Giroux" and had received instructions from Daguerre himself before leaving Nantes in 1839.Robert H. Vance arrived at Valparaiso in February 1847, immediately becoming known as a portraitist. Thanks to a clever press campaign, parading through the halls of Vance and Hoytt [his partner] the best society of Valparaiso and Santiago, government officials, priests, lawyers, soldiers, merchants, landlords and of course respectable ladies with their children. .. atelier fame spread beyond the capital and its echoes reached provincial towns "Gustavo Milet, born in Valparaiso, and of French origin, does its work largely in Lebu in 1886 where he moved to Traiguén around 1890.Other photographers "founders" is Obder Heffer. Born in Canada, arrived in Chile in 1886 hired to work at the prestigious "Photo Garreaud". From 1910 up his own studio, and its activity is diversified inroads into the importation of photographic papers and films. His work was quite prolific including urban views of Santiago, landscapes of the Andes and south of the country.
A critical photographic work of history in Chile is that conducted by Harry Olds, who passing through the country made a collection of plates, the number of forty-over Valparaiso in the early twentieth century and which were published in 1999 under the title "Valparaiso 1900: Photos / Harry Olds"In addition to these photographs, the author gives us a score of letters to various members of his family by Olds from Chile, and which together with reports and comments everyday, almost puts us in the presence of a travelogue, which is useful to plot the vision of an alien who assists the turn of the century Creole. ¨ (1)Approximately in 1920 minute hand is the picture in Chile and it was through this mechanism that photography was democratized and went out to public places to keep track of citizens in their daily lives.The minute hand photograph was popular until the 80 twentieth century, vanished in the mists of time without hardly documented.The workplace of the "timers" as it used to be called street photographers, could be either in the Muelle Prat, or Victory Square, Plaza Echaurren; Plaza Anibal Pinto as Italy Park, in El Almendral and in the viewpoints rides and hills of Valparaiso, in Plaza O'Higgins worked the last two teachers, being displaced by technology or the documentation of street vendors.Going on a trip to Viña del Mar, the were before the flower clock, with its old box camera on a tripod and a monkey coming up the reins of Victories dressed in costume.The proclamation was to attract customers ¨ ¨ Photo Minute photograph because it was a matter of a couple of minutes in his wooden box, a laboratory notebook that can capture light on various materials such as metal, glass, paper or other and disclose in its interior.There were those who walked the beaches with his camera on his shoulder. The outfit consisted of a neat white hat cotona according to the custom of the time.The order for the shot was ¨ ¨ look at the bird, with that paid attention to the portrait photographer and sat still long enough for the shot, the camera rested on a parrot that accompanied the photographer.After taking the photo, the photographer advised the sailor who wore his uniform proudly in Plaza Sotomayor, or the bridal couple portrayed in the walk Yugoeslavo, who brought the copy in hand until a dry well. And so they walked away, taking a photo at one end and shaking it gently.Some photographers place lit by painting pictures with colors pink, blue, green, or yellow land. Others were accompanied by a rocking horse, or dolls of familiar characters, trying to attract the interest of younger children, or with large curtains where only portrayed introduced through a hole in his head pretending to be an aviator taking off from the torpedo, in the midst of the sea or other allegorical.The image obtained in postcard format was stamped by the respective stamps each photographer or mounting them on beautiful mat is giving him a single character to the copy making collectible at a level such as philately.(1) History (James) Alexander Abel - Margarita Alvarado - Karen Berestovoy - Andres Diaz - José Luis Granesse - Juan Domingo Marinello.Historia of Photography in Chile: Rescue Footsteps in the Light.

I intend to use this art for a living extinct, seeking a way to claim a character that is part of our urban history. Lukas portrays him in his book ¨ ¨ porteños notes as part of the urban landscape of Valparaiso.It is also very educational explain how photography works in the physical chemical process in a theoretical and practical citizenship in the street and approaching an art and photography, as experience, in all its processes.I recently got permission to work on public roads in the City of Valparaiso, and well within the historic rescue of the intangible heritage, in the words of Adriana de Castro, an expert Brazilian NGO ¨ ICOMOS Intangible Heritage Valparaiso has a great presentation in literature, customs, places of conventional wisdom. Fishermen, for example, have their own culture, and dance, music, traditions of the people, the culture of Buenos Aires, this whole scene is very rich in the application of Valparaiso as a World Heritage ¨. (2)¨ The importance of intangible cultural heritage is widely recognized by the world community and of its safeguarding. Article 2 of the Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage, adopted from October 17, 2003 by the General Conference of UNESCO at its 32nd session, provides that intangible cultural heritage provides communities, groups and individuals a sense of identity and continuity, while the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage ensures diversity and increasing cultural diversity. However, much of the knowledge and skills associated with cultural expressions that are embodied in, for example, music, dance, theater and crafts are in danger of disappearing due to the decreased number of their practitioners, for lack of funds or the negative effects of globalization.One of the most effective means to carry out the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage is to ensure that the holders of these assets continue to further develop their knowledge and skills and transmit to younger generations.With this in mind, the holders of equity must be identified and given official recognition. This is the reason why UNESCO proposes that Member States set up systems of "Living Human Treasures."UNESCO provided financial and / or technical assistance to help StatesMembers in creating a system of Living Human Treasures by contributions from Member States and Program ParticipationBudget. ¨ (3)
