When you’re out on the streets, you learn things they don’t teach in school; the reality of everyday life is a good teacher. Owning a car in this country is what separates the social classes, because having one means your life is set. |
De estar en la calle, uno aprende cosas que no enseñan en la escuela; la realidad que se vive día a día es buena maestra. El tener un auto en este país es la diferencia entre clases sociales, porque el tener uno de ellos es tener la vida resuelta. |

|
Of course, it’s not all roses; keeping them running is also a huge challenge. There are no stores for replacement parts here—it’s all about human ingenuity. |
Claro que no todo es color de rosas; también mantenerlos funcionando es un desafío descomunal; aquí no hay tiendas para piezas de repuesto, todo es creatividad humana. |

|
I always feel a sense of nostalgia whenever I see a classic car, because I imagine the city as it was in the ’50s. |
A mí me da una sensación de nostalgia siempre que veo un auto clásico, porque imagino la ciudad de los años 50. |

|
My grandfather had a Chevrolet, and he’d trade it in for a new one every year; I grew up hearing those stories, which is why they evoke that nostalgic feeling for me. |
Mi abuelo tenía un Chevrolet, y lo cambiaba todos los años por uno nuevo; con esas historias crecí, por eso me traen ese sabor nostálgico. |


|
And for those who don’t have one—which is the vast majority of the population—all that’s left is to dream about the future or maybe take pictures of them, like I do. |
Y el que no tiene, que es la gran mayoría de la población, solo le resta soñar con el futuro o tal vez hacerles fotos como yo. |

|
Well, that’s all I wanted to share with you today. As always, I’m happy to have your company; I’ll be back soon with more street photos. Hugs. |
Pues nada, es lo que les quería compartir hoy, feliz como siempre por su compañía; pronto regreso con más fotos de calle. Abrazos. |
