I normally don’t feel comfortable showcasing videos that are obvious marketing ploys but this one is trully inspiring weather you’re a snowboarder, aspiring film-maker or neither. It’s beautifully shot and abundant in emotion. As the music begins to pick up, the action sequences slow down even more creating an intense and epic trailer that is The Art of Flight. Enjoy:

Mauro Duek and Maggie Pardo are an Argentine duo from Haedo, a town just outside of Buenos Aires. I have been following their photography for some time now, mainly because Haedo is where I grew up until the 6th grade. For me, seeing my old neighborhood captured in such a vintage and retro style reinforces a deeper emotional attachment to the photos. I feel as though the images of my fondest memories and daydreams about my childhood are transcended through almost in the way my old photo albums do. Only these photos are more recent.

Before Argentina became a third world country (and in some areas a “fourth world” so to speak), we were a civilized first class nation. I stumbled on to this great video with the help of my mother. Its a great insight of not only what life was like in the young Argentina, but what life must have been in any young inspired nation at the turn of the 20th century before corrupt, unethical governments came into power with misguided interests. Some great stuff here.
