Visual Sunday - Monomad Challenge

Finally, a beautiful sunny day arrived. It had to be such a radiant and peaceful Sunday after a week of battling a bad flu and lots of rain. I hadn't really left the house as usual, but this day was a must. So I grabbed my camera and went out to explore the streets, searching for the kind of images I love to capture. The city was a bit deserted, yet it retained the same essence of what one can see.

Just as I said before, and as these photos show, this is a reflection of how the day was: empty streets and surroundings. The few people I captured for these compositions were simply passing by, almost involuntarily. But hey, everyone has their own intentions. What matters to me is being able to appreciate everything I see with my eyes and capture it with my camera.

In some images, I also use a play of contrast and shadows, as I often do in my black and white photos. It's my usual routine, and now that I've recovered from that blessed flu, I can finally take this coming week to take my photographs as usual.

All photographs are my own work.
