EVERYDAY VERTICALS - (STREET PHOTOGRAPHY)

Tcats.jpg


I must look quite strange standing in the middle of a fog-filled street, with my camera's viewfinder pressed against my eye and rotating it to shoot horizontally and vertically in an almost compulsive manner 😂... I do this because it has always seemed to me that taking horizontal photos of streets is a bit like "photographing them as I see them," but doing it vertically feels more like "photographing them as I want and need to"; and the thing is, in vertical format, I feel I have a greater ability to include elements, compose more intuitively, and, in general terms, make better use of the frame's total space... So my street photos today for you here on #Hive are "decidedly vertical"... 😀🫵📷

Me debo ver bastante extraño parado en medio de una calle repleta de niebla, con el visor de mi cámara pegado al ojo y girándola para disparar horizontal y verticalmente de manera casi compulsiva 😂... Hago esto porque siempre me ha parecido que hacer fotos horizontales de calles es un poco "fotografiarlas como las estoy viendo", pero hacerlo de manera vertical se me antoja algo como "fotografiarlas como deseo y necesito"; y es que en vertical siento tener más capacidad de incluir elementos, componer de manera más intuitiva y, en líneas generales, aprovechar de mejor manera el espacio total del fotograma... Así que mis fotos callejeras de hoy para ustedes aquí en #Hive son "decididamente verticales"... 😀🫵📷

I love your vertical photos!
How old do you think that crack in the house is?

Thank you for appreciating this work @parauri friend! The crack appeared during the earthquake of June 24th, but that house operated as a bar until about eight years ago, when lightning struck and killed a drunk customer in the courtyard (I'm serious) 😐. Since then, it's remained abandoned because the bar owner never reopened. So, it's not a very lucky place after all. In fact, the owner recently passed away, and I believe his descendants are living abroad, so there's little chance of it being repaired. And it's a shame, because it's a large and beautiful colonial house... ☹️
