Healing Walls in Silence / #monomad challenge / [ING/ESP]
The photos đž are my entry to the #monomad contest from @monochromes and @brumest.
Hello, Hivers. Lovers of black and white photography.
In recent days, unfortunately, Cuba has been hit by a terrible weather event. Cuba and Jamaica were among the most affected. I truly hope for a quick recovery for everyone đ
Due to this unfortunate event, we were without power for several days in the western part of the country. To keep myself busy and not die of boredom, I decided to wander around the backyard and see what I could capture. So here I bring you some photosânothing too fancy, but made with love.


The first two are of a broken wall, healing as it canâwith a little help, of course. The first shot was taken with a macro lens, and the second with a Soviet Helios. The macro is perfect for bringing out textures, while the Helios, usually used for portraits, adds that special aura I love.


Then, something drying in the sun and a banana ripening faster than the othersâthereâs always one that gets ahead, usually the one thatâs been through the most. Thatâs life.




And to close, a hummingbird sipping nectar from some flowers and a curious little lizard watching everything.
As I said at the beginning, these are simple photos, nothing too ambitiousâbut I just canât go a day without pressing the shutter. Hope you like them. Iâll be reading you in the comments.

Saludos, Hivers. Amantes de la fotografĂa en blanco y negro.
En estos dĂas, lamentablemente, hemos sido golpeados en Cuba por un terrible evento meteorolĂłgico. Cuba y Jamaica fueron los mĂĄs afectados. Espero de todo corazĂłn que haya una pronta recuperaciĂłn đ
A raĂz de este lamentable suceso estuvimos varios dĂas sin corriente en el occidente del paĂs. Para no morir de aburrimiento, me puse a revisar el patio y ver quĂ© podĂa salir de bueno. AsĂ que aquĂ les traigo algunas fotos sin muchas pretensiones, pero hechas con cariño.
Las dos primeras son de una pared rota, sanando como puede, aunque con un poco de ayuda. La primera la hice con un lente macro y la segunda con un Helios soviético. El primero, ideal para resaltar texturas; el segundo, mås usado para retratos, tiene ese aura especial que tanto me gusta.
Luego seguĂ con algo secando al sol y un plĂĄtano madurando mĂĄs rĂĄpido que sus compañeros âsiempre pasa con los mĂĄs golpeados, asĂ es la vida.
Y para cerrar, un zunzĂșn libando flores y una lagartija curiosa observĂĄndolo todo.
Como dije al inicio, fotos sin demasiadas pretensiones, pero no puedo dejar pasar un dĂa sin disparar la cĂĄmara. Espero que les gusten. Los leo en los comentarios.
