Street photography in a small town of venezuela - Monomad Challenge.

10 days ago

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of taking a trip to a tourist town about 45 minutes away from where I live. What's special about this place is that all the houses have a preserved colonial facade.

That day, I took a lot of photos, but in this post, I want to focus on the street photos I captured there. In most of these photos, people are the main subjects, which gives them a greater visual weight.

This was the first photo I took. I liked it because of the guys' outfits in the shot:

Hace unas semanas tuve el gusto de poder salir de paseo a un pueblo turistico que está a unos 45 minutos de distancia de donde yo vivo y lo especial de este lugar es que todas las casas preservan una fachada colonial.

Ese día tomé muchisimas fotos pero en esta publicacion quiero enfocarme en las fotografias callejeras que hice allí, en la mayoria de estas fotos los protagonistas son las personas, lo que les da un mayor peso visual.

Esta fue la primera foto que tome, me gustó por los trajes de los chicos en la foto:

Further on, I saw a small, very humble shop where they sell natural honey. I tried to make the photo as symmetrical as possible:

Mas adelante vi una pequeña bodega bastante humilde en donde venden miel natural, intenté hacer la foto lo mas simetrica posible:

I saw an elderly man selling fried food and took a photo of him from a distance:

Ví a un señor bastante mayor vendiendo frituras, le hice una foto desde lo lejos:

Then I approached him and asked if I could take a photo. This was the result:

Luego me acerqué a el y le pregunte si le podia hacer una foto, este fue el resultado:

At that very moment, I saw a sport motorcycle pass by:

En ese mismo instante ví pasar una moto de alta cilindrada:

And a little while later, I found the same motorcycle already parked:

Y un rato mas tarde me encontré a la misma moto ya estacionada:

I also saw this very cool car:

Tambien vi este carro bastante cool:

The next man was selling sugar balloons:

El siguiente señor estaba vendiendo globos de azucar:

This man is always in the same spot, making bubbles to sell toys to children:

Este señor siempre está en el mismo lugar haciendo burbujas para vender a los niños:

As I walked through the town, I saw this man playing guitar to earn some tips:

Mientras caminaba por el pueblo vi a este señor tocando guitarra para ganarse algunas monedas de propina:

I saw this girl with a very cool outfit:

Ví a esta chica con un outfit bastante cool:

Every small town has a central plaza, and there I was able to take this photo of an adorable little dog:

Todo pueblo pequeño tiene una plaza central, allí pude hacer esta foto de un adorable perrito:

I took this photo because the woman had been sitting there alone for a while. She seemed to be waiting for her family, but the whole time I observed her, she was by herself:

Esta foto la tomé porque la señora tenia un rato sentada allí sola, parecia estar esperando a su familia pero realmente todo el rato en que la observé estuvo sola...

This boy saw me with the camera and greeted me, as if asking for a photo:

Este chico me vió con la camara y me saludó como piendo una foto:

A photo of a dome:

Foto de cúpula:

And I saved my favorite photos for last. As I was walking, I saw a traditional candy shop, and the employees were wearing clothing characteristic of the Andean people. I asked them if I could take a photo, and I captured this:

Y dejé mis fotos favoritas de ultimas, mientras caminaba vi una tienda de dulces tipicos y los empleados de la tienda tenian una ropa caracteristica de las personas andinas, les pregunté si les podia hacer una foto y hice esto:
