Everyone Moves at Their Own Pace
Hello dear Black and White community,
Everyone moves at their own pace.
Here I share a bit more of my Lima, a city full of chaos and very “criolla” in spirit.
On the cover you’ll see some food kiosks that are everywhere. If Peru is known for something these days, it’s its gastronomy. You’ll find food stands on every corner: breakfast in the morning, sandwiches in the afternoon… street food is always part of daily life.
At the same time, people take breaks whenever they can sitting wherever possible, chatting, or scrolling on their phones while “killing time.” Here in Lima, people are usually late (except me, I’m always punctual which is almost a defect here). I’ve even sat on the floor from exhaustion. But traffic is also to blame: you never know if you’ll arrive late or way too early, it all depends.
Others spend their time reading newspapers at the stands, folding their blankets, or waiting in their cars for a passenger to come by.
This is my Lima, and I portray a piece of it in this photo series.
I hope you enjoy it, and as always: good vibes for everyone.
Thanks for stopping by.
Thanks for being part of this ongoing #MonoMad Challenge adventure!

Todos van a su tiempo
Hola querida comunidad en Blanco y Negro,
Todos van a su tiempo.
Acá les muestro un poco más de mi Lima, ciudad llena de caos y súper criolla.
De portada les dejo estos quioscos de comida que están por todos lados. Si el Perú es conocido últimamente es por su gastronomía, y así verán puestos en cada esquina: de día desayunos, por la tarde sanguchitos de todo tipo… siempre hay que comer en la calle.
Por otro lado, todos aprovechan el tiempo para darse un descanso. Se sientan donde pueden, a conversar o a ver su celular mientras “hacen hora” como decimos acá, porque todos llegan tarde (menos yo, que soy puntual, y eso es casi un defecto en Lima). Muchas veces también me he sentado en el piso por el cansancio, pero también es culpa del tráfico: uno nunca sabe si va a llegar tarde o muy temprano, todo depende.
Otros se toman su tiempo para leer los periódicos del puesto, doblar sus mantas o sentarse en su auto a esperar que caiga algún pasajero.
Esa es mi Lima, y se las retrato un poco en esta serie de fotos.
Espero que les guste y, como siempre, buenas vibras para todos.
Gracias por pasar por acá.*
Gracias por acompañarme en esta aventura continua del #MonoMad Challenge

I kept thinking… in these photos, some are clearly “turning their backs” on punctuality haha… and others seem to eye it with suspicion.
Thanks for your comment and observation. I also noticed it capturing a gaze is something I love, because it allows me to give more life to what I want to tell.
