I'LL TELL YOU... (PHOTOGRAPHY STORIES)

I walk the streets, telling myself stories, most of them captured through my camera lens. Later, I can reflect on them, understand them better, and even embellish them with a touch of storytelling—that imagination so typical of small towns that lends a fairytale quality to almost everything that happens. However, mine is also a work of documentation, because these streets of mine are constantly changing, and then, from one day to the next, they become memories, which I like to freeze in time so that someone, perhaps, can relive them in the future. And so #Hive is also a bit like my "wonderful vault," where many of those "stories" that I tell you almost daily now rest and live...
Yo voy por las calles y voy contándome historias, la mayoría de ellas las capturo a través del lente de mi cámara y luego puedo sopesarlas, entenderlas mejor, e incluso sobrepujarlas con un toque de fabulario, de esa imaginación tan típica de los pueblos pequeños que brinda un toque de "cuento" a casi todo lo que pasa. Sin embargo, el mío es también un trabajo de registro, porque estas calles mías cambian constantemente y entonces, de un día para el otro, se convierten en recuerdos, los cuales me gusta dejar así congelados para que alguien quizás, pueda vivirlos a futuro. Y entonces #Hive es también un poco mi "bóveda maravillosa" en donde reposan y viven ahora muchos de esos "cuentos" que yo les cuento casi a diario...

📷 01 - Today "Bolivíta" is happy because Walter, the owner of the kiosk, has given him some bread for his breakfast... / Hoy "Bolivíta" está contento porque Walter, el dueño del quiosco, le ha regalado algo de pan para su desayuno...

📷 02 - In that house, a cat and a chicken live together, and both are surprised when a strange guy passes by and takes a picture of them. "Run, cat, he's shooting us!" says the worried chicken... / En esa casa, conviven un gato y un pollo, y ambos se sorprenden cuando pasa un tipo extraño y les hace una foto, ¡Corre gato, que nos disparan!, dice el pollo preocupado...

📷 03 - José Miguel and a friend run his uncle's kiosk. The bananas aren't selling, but they both agree they can eat them if they don't make some profit soon... / José Miguel y un amigo, atienden el quisco de su tío, los plátanos no se venden, pero ambos coinciden en que pueden comerlos si no obtienen algo de ganancia pronto...

📷 04 - In my head, it occurs to me that that cat looks like it's read "The Unbearable Lightness of Being," I don't know why, it just occurs to me.... / En mi cabeza, se me ocurre que ese gato tiene cara de haber leído "La insoportable levedad del ser", no sé porqué, solo se me ocurre...

📷 05 - A hawk thoughtfully observes the ruins of an old house; surely it feels the same as me, perceiving how the town slowly and irreversibly fades away... / Un gavilán observa pensativo las ruinas de una vieja casa, seguro le pasa como a mí, que percibo como el pueblo se desvanece lentamente y sin reverso...

📷 06 - Call me crazy if you like, but I'm sure that dog appears on different streets on the same day and seems to be thinking, "That annoying guy with the camera again," it's something like "a recurring dog"... / Llámenme loco si gustan, pero estoy seguro de que ese perro aparece en calles distintas el mismo día y parece estar pensando: "Otra vez ese molesto tipo de la cámara", es algo así como "un perro repetido"...

📷 07 - The meter, the light bulb, the cables; those things that for hours now remain lifeless (and I'm referring to the recurring blackouts here, obviously)... / El medidor, la bombilla, los cables; esas cosas que durante horas ahora se quedan sin aliento (y me refiero a los recurrentes apagones de aquí, obviamente)...

📷 08 - And everyone simply calls my friend "The Cowboy," because in this town real names tend to disappear, so you're called what "others call you."... / Y a mi amigo todos le llaman simplemente "El Vaquero", porque en este pueblo los nombres reales tienden a desaparecer y entonces te llamas como "te dicen los otros"...

📷 08 - I say he's "WALL-E" but he's grown his hair out.... / Yo digo que es "WALL-E" pero se ha dejado crecer el cabello... 🤖

Or maybe this dog just wants you to take pictures of him and that's why he shows up where you are? 😄
😂😂😂 I honestly don't know!... I've even started to think they're several very similar dogs!... I think I'll have to mark the next one I see with an ink marker to confirm! 🤣🤣🤣
Be careful with that marker. The dog may not like it 🤣
Oh que buen trabajo como siempre , saludos
😃 Hola @ilianis, mil gracias! 🙏

Hi @jlinaresp, I would’ve been mesmerised watching that hawk. I haven’t managed to photograph one yet.
It's something relatively unusual; I saw it in a ruined house, almost at shoulder height. I suppose it was focused on observing some small prey in the courtyard of that ruined place, and that's why it allowed me to take this photo (and I did it with just a 100mm prime lens, meaning I can't see myself being more than 5 meters from the bird)... Pure luck, certainly!... And it allowed me to take several photos, much to my amazement...
😀👋
Qué hermoso 😍
