THAT’S WHO WE ARE, THAT’S HOW WE LIVE

(Así somos, así vivimos)

This post is my official entry for the #monomad challenge, hosted by @monochromes and @brumest. Today I share a series born from the intuition and the urban rhythm of Havana.

No Fixed Plan / El plan es no tener plan

M

any times, when I’m about to leave the house, my sister — who always wants to know everything — asks me, “What’s the plan for today?” And my answer is almost always the same: “I don’t know, I’ll just let myself be guided.”

M

uchas veces, cuando voy a salir de casa, mi hermana —que todo lo quiere saber— me pregunta: “¿Cuál es el plan para el día?”. Y mi respuesta casi siempre es la misma: “No sé, pienso dejarme guiar.”

The Path Appears on its Own / El camino aparece solo

It’s not difficult to find a routine when going out to take photos in the streets of Havana. Life here is so fluid, restless, chaotic, sometimes mysterious, and in certain places even strangely calm, that instead of searching for a path, the path simply appears on its own. You just have to let yourself go with it.
No es difícil encontrar una rutina para salir a hacer fotos por las calles de La Habana. La vida aquí es tan fluida, agitada, convulsa, a ratos misteriosa y, en algunos sitios, curiosamente tranquila, que más que buscar un camino, el camino termina apareciendo solo. Basta con dejarse llevar.

Yesterday's Series / La serie de ayer

Today I’d like to share a series I made yesterday that, in one way or another, reflects that very way of looking.
Hoy quiero compartirles una serie que hice ayer y que, de alguna manera, refleja justamente esa forma de mirar.

Urban Dynamics and Mysticism / Dinámica citadina y mística

That’s who we are and how we live. You have to be here to experience it firsthand. There’s something almost mystical about it, something hard to explain. Maybe that’s why it’s so exciting to go out with a camera in hand and, in one way or another, immerse yourself in this urban rhythm.
Así somos y así vivimos. Hay que estar aquí para experimentarlo en primera persona. Tiene algo de místico, difícil de explicar. Tal vez por eso resulta tan apasionante salir con la cámara en la mano y, de una forma u otra, sumergirse en esta dinámica citadina.

Farewell / Despedida

Warm hugs, dear friends from #blackandwhite. Tomorrow I’ll return with more stories. For now, I say goodbye and wish you all the best.
Abrazos, queridos amigos de #blackandwhite. Mañana regreso con más historias. Por lo pronto me despido y les deseo mucha suerte.
