La realidad que nos envuelve y que da motivo a la presentación de este libro es bien sencilla, igual que todas las realidades, lo complejo es el cuestionamiento que de ella recibimos y las preguntas que nos suscita. El trabajo esta enmarcado en Manabi, una provincia de Ecuador, y visto desde la accion de Pastoral Social - Caritas de la Arquidiocesis de Portoviejo.La fotografia no acepta falsas apreciaciones ni justificaciones. Ahi esta plasmada la realidad que nos interpela, nos inquieta y nos pregunta. Al contemplar, la fotografia deja de ser muerta y, antes que en la camara, la imagen es vida y ahi esta su fuerza.

A timely and heartfelt memoir from movie legend Patrick Swayze and wife Lisa Niemi, completed just weeks before Swayze's death In September 2009 movie star Patrick Swayze lost his long and bravely fought battle against pancreatic cancer. Dedications soon came flooding in from Swayze's many friends in film and television as well as from his legions of adoring fans. His was a life richly led and this memoir, completed just weeks before his death, is a testament to the strength and passion of this remarkable man. It was January 2008 when Patrick Swayze was given the worst news of his life. What he hoped was just a stomach ache was actually stage four pancreatic cancer. This book isn't just the story of Patrick's fight against cancer. In the public eye from the early 1980s, this is the story of a remarkable life and career. Intended as a low budget, straight-to-video production, Dirty Dancing became a cult hit and remains one of the most enduring films of the 80s. Ghost cemented Patrick as a hugely bankable star, in a role that has had a considerable cultural impact. Most recently Patrick returned to the public's adoring arms in TV's The Beast. This book will chronicle Patrick's personal life, too -- including his treatment for alcoholism following the death of his father and sister's sudden death. What remained a constant in Patrick's life was his marriage and Patrick and Lisa's love story is inspiring, honest, heartfelt and transcends the typical celebrity marriage. This is a book that anyone who has faced cancer or a terminal illness can turn to: Lisa and Patrick have shown the world that cancer isn't just a diagnosis given to one individual, but a disease that can bring a household together or pull a family apart. Bold, honest and inspiring, Patrick Swayze's memoir is the story of a remarkable man's life and career and of his refusal to give up without a fight.

His Sundance Film Festival transformed the world of filmmaking; his films defined a generation.
