“Navigating the highs and lows of the city, from skyscrapers to the struggle for survival.”
“Navegando entre los altibajos de la ciudad, desde los rascacielos hasta la lucha por la supervivencia.”

Good night, friends of the community! I’m finally taking a moment to write about my day. It’s been exhausting and intense, moving from university to photography assignments and across the city. Today’s series reflects that movement. I started at the university, capturing the workers hanging in the heights, looking like acrobats against the scale of the building. I also had a fun moment at a friend's house decorating his fish tank with Star Wars figures!
But the streets quickly brought me back to reality: the political tension, the struggle of those cleaning windshields at traffic lights, and the painful lack of empathy when younger people refuse to give up their seats to the elderly. These daily sights—like a mother staring into the void hoping for a sale or an old man with his cart—really mark your day. It’s a tough reality to witness, but it is necessary to document. Thanks for following along.

¡Buenas noches, amigos de la comunidad! Recién me doy un tiempo para escribir sobre mi día. Ha sido intenso, moviéndome de la universidad a hacer trabajos fotográficos. Empecé capturando a los trabajadores en las alturas de un edificio, se veían como acróbatas. También tuve un momento genial decorando la pecera de un amigo con figuras de Star Wars.
Pero la calle me devolvió a la realidad: la tensión política con sus mensajes de lucha, el trabajo duro en los semáforos, y esa falta de valores cuando nadie cede un asiento a un adulto mayor. Ver a una madre mirando al vacío esperando una venta o a un abuelo con su carretilla para poder cargar cosas ajenas y sobrevivir, son realidades que te marcan. Duele ver el país así, pero es necesario documentarlo. ¡Gracias por estar ahí!
