ON THE ROADS - PHOTOGRAPHY STORIES || ENG-ESP || (11 pics )

Tcats.jpg


On the roads, one encounters others and oneself. You can't help but breathe in the magic around you, you can't let people pass by without greeting you with a smile, you can't ignore the intervals of silence, especially when the fog rolls in and silences everything, even the sound of time passing by, that's inaudible too... And the roads, at least these very rural roads of mine, are a constant allegory of the path we've all always been walking. Yes, the roads are ourselves, going or coming... Sometimes looking out, sometimes looking in... And the roads, like my complex streets, also give me the desire to write. Even here, in the minuscule reality of my studio in front of my PC, looking at the photos of my roads is like walking them again. Sometimes reality can be so subjective...

En los caminos uno se encuentra con otros y consigo mismo. No se puede dejar de respirar la magia alrededor, no se puede dejar pasar la gente sin saludar con una sonrisa, no se puede obviar los intervalos de silencio, en especial cuando la niebla aparece y calla todo, incluso el sonido del tiempo corriendo, ese tampoco se escucha... Y es que los caminos, cuando menos estos caminos míos tan rurales, son una alegoría constante al sendero que todos llevamos desde siempre recorriendo. Sí, los caminos somos nosotros mismos yendo, o viniendo... A veces mirando fuera, a veces mirando dentro... Y los caminos, al igual que mis calles complejas, también me regalan ganas de escribir. Incluso aquí, en la minúscula realidad de mi estudio en frente mi PC, mirar las fotos de mis caminos es como volver a recorrerlos. Algunas veces la realidad puede ser tan subjetiva...

These are dirt roads, with trees lining their banks, birds singing, wet with dew, with the slowness of those waiting for the inevitable arrival of the sun, dogs appearing and disappearing in the distance, people heading toward a town that welcomes them with paved streets and takes them a bit out of their rural reverie. I am just a stranger, though already an everyday person, looking around with an old camera, capturing postcards that others don't notice, understanding the small, medium, and large miracles that generous nature bestows, just as it also gives sustenance to those who work, live, and embrace these lands... I need, from time to time, or almost always, to come here and pass by on the outside while I happen on the inside. Because here on these roads, the day isn't just about going and taking pictures. It's also about greeting some fairies, some elves, and myriad elemental spirits who rejoice in the mist and take shelter in the warmth of the sun when it returns...

Estos son caminos de tierra, de árboles existiendo en sus orillas, de aves que cantan mojadas por el rocío con la parsimonia de quien espera la llegada del sol inevitable, de perros que aparecen y desaparecen a lo lejos, de personas que van rumbo a un pueblo que los recibe con calles asfaltadas y les saca un poco de su ensueño rural. Yo soy apenas un tipo extraño, aunque ya cotidiano, yendo mirando a cada lado con una vie cámara robando postales que otros no observan, entendiendo milagros pequeños, medianos y grandes, los cuales la naturaleza generosa regala, así como regala también el sustento a aquellos que labran, viven y abrazan estas tierras... Yo necesito, de vez en cuando o casi siempre, venir aquí e ir pasando por fuera mientras ocurro hacia adentro. Porque aquí en estos caminos, no se trata el día solo de ir y hacer fotos. Se trata también de saludar algunas hadas, algunos duendes y miríadas de espíritus elementales que se alegran con la niebla y se resguardan con el calor del sol cuando regresa...

I love writing about these paths, because their irrefutable poetry is on their surface when I look at them. Alone and silent, accompanied and joyful, there are always a handful of lines occurring there. And then, whoever knows how, can steal them and transcribe them and share them and try to make others wander here...

Amo escribir a estos caminos, porque su irrefutable poesía está en su superficie cuando los miro. Solos y silentes, acompañados y alegres, siempre hay un puñado de líneas ocurriendo allí. Y entonces, aquel que sabe como, puede robarlas y transcribirlas y compartirlas e intentar hacer que otros deambulen aquí...

Hermoso 💚 Se me parece mucho a los caminos de donde vivo, es un lugar llano, no tengo tus bellas montañas, pero son igual de tierra y gente que vive de ella, algo que admiro y respeto mucho.

Bellas fotos 👏♥️📷

😀🙏 Gracias por apreciar esta publicación @ceciliajess!... Ciertamente, del campo su gente es quizás lo mas encantador y creo que son ellos quienes precisamente construyen el aire bucólico de los lugares alejados de las calles, los autos y las casas... Es bueno tener siempre cerca lugares así, a mi me parece un privilegio, claro que en casos de países como los nuestros toca lidiar con dificultades aún en los campos. Pero la calidez humana que se encuentra allí, me parece compensa en mucho eso, y más... Ten una feliz y bendecida semana tú y tu gente alrededor...

You're not a stranger. I think everyone knows you there and they know you're taking photos for sure 😆

Excellent shoot my friend! I always envy you for those foggy photos, something I can not do here. We have fog once a hear, if we're lucky, but I haven't see fog for a few years now. I love how you describe the photos and life of the moment, you're a true talent my friend!

😆😆😆 Ok, yes, you're right, I've always lived here and I've been taking photos in the rural fields for a couple of decades and on the streets for about 15... But I'm partly right when I say that I look strange, because many people here are still surprised to see me taking photos of something that for them is everyday... I explain to them time and again: "There's a lot of magic happening here all the time"... Some nod, others laugh, but in the end everyone has already gotten used to seeing "the crazy guy with the camera in his hand" (that's what some affectionately call me) 😃🙏... I love it here, I really do. I hope to be able to do it much longer, but everything here is getting very difficult, five minutes before writing this, I said goodbye to my 22 year old niece who in a couple of days is flying to France to live there, I have a small hole in my heart because of that. After hugging me, she said: "Uncle Jesus, don't stop posting your photos so I can see my town"... I've experienced this so many times, good heavens... But that's life, it's what I've had to live here... Thank you for seeing my photos and reading my lines, it honors me... Have a happy and blessed week, @erikah friend...

That bit about the fog quieting even the sound of time landed with me. As someone who balances numbers all day, I love how your roads balance noise and silence, the the way a careful ledger breathes between entries. It made me slow down and notice the small mgaic in routine, and if that counts as exercise, Im already fit.

😀🙏 Awww... Thank you so much for reading my lines, @bleujay friend... I love writing, I like that clear and sometimes abstract thought that taking photos and even looking at them and processing them gives me... It's an honor that you read and appreciate what I write... Have a happy and blessed week full of light, my friend...

I need, from time to time, or almost always, to come here and pass by on the outside while I happen on the inside.

I think this line perfectly captures everything you express through your photos—they’re marvellous… bloody brilliant, mate. Applause all round.

The writing muses fly joyfully and boldly through the rural countryside, while uncertainty ostentatiously strolls through the town's paved streets, dear @nanixxx friend... Thank you so much for stopping by, reading, and appreciating this work. Have a wonderful and blessed week...

So I need to go in search of rural landscapes for my muse to return and grace me with her presence? Haha… From the looks of it, that seems to be the case. It’s always a great pleasure to admire your work and support you. You’re a true professional and a dear friend. A hug, and have a wonderful week.

Or look at a flower up close, or at a hummingbird sipping nectar, or at the miraculous eyes of a cat that almost never blinks... The muses are there too... 😉👍
