When life rests in death (ENG-ES)-Monomad challenge

25-9948-2.jpg

I don't usually take posed photographs because, for me, they lose authenticity. However, when I do take them, it's because they emerge spontaneously, and that, for me, is already tolerable.

I was at a cemetery with a group of photographers, and among them were two women taking pictures of themselves on the graves.

It seemed a bit absurd to me, and even disrespectful to the deceased.

However, it's uncertain if there's anything after death, so there's no certainty that the deceased would have been bothered.

No suelo hacer fotografías con poses porque, para mí, pierden autenticidad. Sin embargo, cuando las hago, es porque surgen sin buscarlas, y esto ya lo considero tolerable.

Estuve en un cementerio con un grupo de fotógrafos, y entre ellos había dos mujeres que se estaban tomando fotos en las tumbas.

Para ser sincero, me pareció un poco absurdo e incluso una falta de respeto para los difuntos.

Sin embargo, no se sabe a ciencia cierta si después de la muerte hay algo más, así que no hay certeza de que a los difuntos les haya molestado.

They were in their world, not harming anyone, at least not the living, who were the ones present.

So, I watched them pose, and since the scene struck me as out of the ordinary—no matter how staged the photo might have been— I captured both women. I didn't give them directions or anything like that; they just looked at the lens, and that was it.

Ellas estaban en su mundo sin hacerle daño a nadie, al menos a los vivos, quienes éramos los que estábamos allí.

Así que, las vi posar, y como la escena me pareció fuera de lo normal —por muy fabricada que haya sido la foto para mi gusto—, pues capturé a ambas mujeres. No les di directrices ni nada por el estilo, solo veían al lente y listo.

Later, I encountered a man who, at first glance, seemed to be in his right mind, but upon speaking with him, I realized he had a mental health issue. I took this photo before knowing that. I liked how the light grazed his face. According to what he told me, he works in the cemetery's maintenance area, but I don't believe him.

These fortuitous portraits represent life in a place where death is not stationary.

Luego me encontré a un hombre que a primera vista parecía estar en sus cabales, pero al hablar con él me di cuenta de que tenía un problema mental. Esta foto se la hice antes de saberlo. Me gustó cómo la luz rozaba su rostro. De acuerdo a lo que me dijo, trabaja en el cementerio, en el área de mantenimiento, pero la verdad no le creo mucho.

Estos retratos fortuitos representan la vida en un lugar donde la muerte no es estacionaria.

Good captures, my friend, always with your sense of seeing things differently through your photos.
