City in focus, told my way / Monomad Challenge [Eng/Esp]

Hello, friends: how are you?

Some time ago, I had the idea of creating a series called "City in Focus." I admit that I find it very difficult to come up with titles and write, but the truth is that I do my best to make myself understood. Sometimes I take a photo that I love, and just when I think everything is fine, the question pops into my head: "Now what do I write?" I don't know if this happens to you, but it happens to me more than I would like. However, just sharing this passion for photography and recounting my daily experiences in my own words makes it worthwhile. Today we'll look at some of my most recent photos, and I'll try to briefly explain what caught my attention most when I took them.


These snapshots 📸 are my submission for the #monomad challenge by @monochromes and @brumest.


I learned a strategy: I stand near corners, where interesting things always happen and the light is good.

If you want to see lots of photographers on the street, wait for it to rain; as soon as it stops, they come out like crazy looking for puddles and their reflections, like me, for example.

This lady was taking advantage of a small patch of shade, and I was begging her to move a few inches and stand in the light, but there was no way.

I was very curious about these people who passed by. Apparently they were family and all three played the flute. I didn't ask them, I should have, because I was intrigued. I don't know if they were part of a society or religion; next time I won't be left wondering.

Well, friends, that's all I wanted to share with you. I hope you enjoyed it. See you soon with more street stories. I look forward to reading your comments...

Hola, amigos: ¿qué tal?

Hace ya algún tiempo se me ocurrió hacer una serie y llamarla «Ciudad en foco». Reconozco que se me dificulta mucho el tema de los títulos y la escritura, pero la verdad es que pongo mi mayor empeño en hacerme entender. A veces hago una foto que me encanta y, cuando pienso que ya está todo bien, me viene a la cabeza: «Y ahora, ¿qué escribo?». No sé si a ustedes les pasa, pero a mí más de lo que me gustaría. No obstante, por el simple hecho de compartir esta pasión por la fotografía y contar con mis palabras la experiencia diaria, ya merece la pena. Hoy veremos algunas de mis fotos más recientes e intentaré explicarles brevemente lo que más me llamó la atención al hacerlas.

Aprendí una estrategia: me paro cerca de las esquinas, donde siempre suceden cosas interesantes y la luz es buena.

Si quieres ver a muchos fotógrafos en la calle, espera a que llueva; nada más que escampa, salen como locos buscando los charcos y sus reflejos, como yo, por ejemplo.

Esta señora aprovechaba una pequeña brecha de sombra, y yo suplicando porque se moviera unos centímetros y se parara en la luz, pero no hubo manera.

Me dieron mucha curiosidad estas personas que pasaron por al lado. Al parecer eran familia y los tres tocaban la flauta. No les pregunté, debería haberlo hecho, porque me quedé intrigado. No sé si formaban parte de alguna sociedad o religión; la próxima vez no me quedaré con la duda.

Bueno, amigo, hasta aquí lo que quería compartir con ustedes. Espero que lo hayan disfrutado. Nos vemos pronto con más historias callejeras. Leo sus comentarios...
