A photograph that I like


A photo that I like is one that apeared in the Rolling Stone just after Jhon Lenon's death. He's naked hugging Yoko Ono in a white bed (I suppose that is a bed, maybe is just the floor) and Yoko Ono is wearing black clothes.
The photo was taken by Annie Leibovitz, an important photographer that worked with famous people, but the important think was her particular point of view, a little artistical and very spontanious. In a documentary, many celebrities said that when Annie was arround with her camera, she wasn't impertinent and make people feel confortable. She was able to open people's inside and share them to the world. This quality was an important key to understand her photos.
The curious thing about this particular photo is that it was took a few hours before Jhon Lenons' murder. It was in his appartmen or in a hotel (I'm not sure).
I like this photo because is so...simple. I appreciate the photo for the content, I just look two people that realy care each other and in a very natural way they look for the warm of the othe, I don't like it because of Jhon Lenon (in fact, I don't listen to the Beatles).

My new psychology favourite website

I heard many times about http://www.apa.org/ but I didn't visit that web, until now. Is a very complete website for any psycology student or worker, because it contains lots of updated researches, information by cathegories, news, issues, investigations, links and many other things. I think that in the future I will use this page to university works and to satisfy my own hunger of knowledge.
The first time that I try to found something interesting in this page, I found an article about "Avoiding Heterosexual Bias in Language". It explain some differenses beetwen "lesbian" or "gay" and "homosexual". Many people use those words like synonymous, but they mean or unless represent different thigs. Here is the link if you want to learn more: http://www.apastyle.org/sexuality.html
