BEWILDERMENT - (PHOTOGRAPHY STORIES)

I have days, or at least "a few hours a day," when "brain fog" visits me. And it's nothing new; this has been happening to me since my teens. I'm talking about periods of time during which things like this happen: "forgetting what I was thinking moments before," "not remembering the name of an object or even people," "losing my sense of direction," and similar things. And it doesn't seem to be anything serious, really, since I can continue doing things like walking, crafts, riding my bike, or even driving our car. But the truth is, when I have these "episodes," I prefer to stay still, maybe sit down, or if possible, lie down for a while and even take a short nap. I call those moments "BEWILDERMENT", and that's why I titled this post that way, because while I was processing these photos, I felt exactly as I've described. And wow, it did take me quite a while to process and edit these images. I even caught myself staring blankly at "nothing on the screen" while some classical music played in my headphones... A funny thing about this is remembering what my late father used to say when he realized I was having one of these episodes: "Wow, son, your head is a real cocktail of crazy things going on in there!" 😂... Anyway, please continue reading this post and enjoy this selection of my street photography for you on #Hive...
Tengo días, o cuando menos "algunas horas al día" en las que "niebla mental" me visita. Y no es algo nuevo, esto es algo que me sucede desde mi adolescencia. Hablo de lapsos de tiempo durante los cuales me suceden cosas como: "Olvidarme de que estaba pensando momentos antes", "no recordar el nombre de algún objeto o incluso personas", "perder el sentido de ubicación" y cosas similares. Y no parece ser algo grave en realidad, pues puedo continuar haciendo cosas como caminar, trabajos manuales, andar en bicicleta o incluso conducir nuestro auto. Pero la verdad es que cuando tengo estos "episodios" prefiero quedarme quieto, quizás sentado o de ser posible recostarme un rato e incluso dormir una corta siesta... Yo a esos momentos los llamo "DESCONCIERTO" y es por eso que titulé esta publicación así, porque mientras me encontraba procesando estas fotos, me sentí así tal cual he descrito. Y, caray, sí que tardé bastante en procesar y editar estas imágenes, pues llegué a sorprenderme a mi mismo observando lerdamente "nada en la pantalla" mientras algo de música clásica sonaba en mis auriculares.... Algo divertido de esto, es recordar las cosas que mi difunto padre decía cuando se percataba de que me encontraba en uno de estos episodios, y fue lo siguiente: "Caray hijo, tu cabeza es un verdadero coctel de cosas locas ocurriendo allí" 😂... Pero bien, continúen adelante por favor en esta publicación y disfruten de esta selección de mis fotos callejeras para ustedes en #Hive...

Y yo pensando que donde único se utilizaban aún esos discos DVD era acá jeje...
¡Excelentes miradas al entorno para transformarlo en arte!
¡Abrazos!
😁💿 No amigo @roswelborges , sí aquí todavía hasta se consiguen en las tiendas!... Aunque cada vez se ven menos, aún hay muchos que los usan. Y bueno, como en este caso, algunos vecinos los usan para adornar árboles en las calles cuando ya están dañados o no se usan 🤷♂... Gracias por pasar y apreciar este trabajo!
Saludos mi estimado amigo, algo así me sucede pero con la inspiración, como un bloqueo mental que no me deja crear nuevas ideas, es complicado Jjjjj, se me pasa al rato, menos mal, o me pongo leer algo y listo. Ya te había comentado que me encantan las imágenes que compartes y como vas narrando la historia de tu pueblo, que por cierto es muy parecido al mío Jjj, excelente trabajo fotográfico, felicitaciones!!!
Thanks a lot for appreciating this post @qurator team and @brumest friend!...
"Voodoo" - lol, what a spooky head! On Reddit, they have communities themed on mystery and weird things - it's possible to share closeups of this nature (with a Hive link) there.
By the way, the HivePosh team looked through the HivePosh user list and found out you were banned in 2024. A unanimous decision was made to unban you. But keep in mind, there is a new HivePosh rule saying "no more than 8 shares a day". If you have any questions about HivePosh things, please ask anytime without hesitation.
😂 Here, some people do crazy things to "reinforce the security" of their homes. This guy, in addition to the electrified fence where "little pumpkins grow," also put up that horrifying doll head, but it's not the strangest thing I've seen. Once, someone put a teddy bear with a noose around its neck, and once I saw a sign that said "Free mutilation of thieves" 😆...
Ah, so that's what was happening! 😐... I unlinked and relinked my account a few times, but then I stopped when I didn't see any results; it didn't occur to me that it was because of a ban, since I've always seen that it works for me on BlueSky, and that made me think the problem was something else!... But thank you so much for letting me know that it's possible again for me to share on the Reddit associated with POSH!... Please pass on my thanks to them there; I'll be careful not to exceed the allowed limits! 😀...
Thanks for commenting, visiting, and supporting my work, @x-rain friend. Sending a hug!
