SOMETIMES THE STREET - (PHOTOGRAPHY SERIES)

Sometimes, the streets of my town simply don't allow me to walk them without a camera. A little girl petting her puppy in a doorway; an old man sharpening scissors as he leaves his workshop; a boy walking quickly while singing, his hood up to hide his face; an elderly man walking with effort, aided by his cane; a friend at his fast-food stand; a humble house; an empty grocery store; the workshop of someone repairing old appliances... All these things happen simultaneously, and I don't like to miss them. So, just like today, when I went out without my camera and started looking at "photos happening around me," I rushed back home, grabbed it, hung it around my neck, and went back out again. Now, able to capture, without missing a thing, everything that happens there...
Algunas veces, las calles de mi pueblo simplemente no me permiten caminar en ellas sin llevar una cámara. Una niña acariciando a su perrito en el zaguán de una puerta; el anciano que afila tijeras saliendo de su taller; un niño que camina rápido mientras canta con la capucha alzada para ocultar su rostro; un anciano que camina con esfuerzo, ayudado por su bastón; un amigo en su puesto de comida rápida; una casa humilde; un abasto vacío; el taller de quien repara electrodomésticos viejos... Todas estas son cosas que ocurren en simultáneo y que no me gusta perderme. Entonces, tal como sucedió hoy, cuando salí a la calle sin mi cámara y comencé a mirar "fotos sucediendo a mi alrededor", regresé lo más rápido que pude a casa: la tomé, la colgué de mi cuello y salí nuevamente a la calle. Ahora sí, pudiendo capturar, sin pérdida, todo lo que allí sucede...

Always an experience, walking in the streets as you share them with us!
Thank you so much for your appreciation and support, my friend! I hope you're doing well and have a wonderful weekend coming up! 😃👍
My favorite thing about these photos is how natural they feel. Nothing looks forced or staged, which makes the scenes much more interesting to look at. It’s amazing how a simple moment on the street can become something memorable when captured at the right time.:)
Thank you so much for this motivating comment and for appreciating my work @baycan friend!!! 😀🙏
