MONOMAD CHALLENGE : The street owners [ENG-ESP]

MONOMAD CHALLENGE : The street owners [ENG-ESP]


Crossing familiar streets, riding a bicycle down the avenue, walking sidewalks for the first time? At any of these moments we may encounter watchful canines. They may choose to ignore us or perhaps chase us with their watchful eyes, saying something like: "Who are you? What are you doing here? " They are the owners of the street.

Cruzar calles conocidas, manejar bicicleta por la avenida, caminar veredas por primera vez... En cualquiera de esos momentos podemos encontrar unos caninos vigilantes. Ellos podrán optar por ignorarnos o quizás perseguirnos con su atenta mirada, diciendo algo como: "¿Quién eres tú? ¿Qué vienes a hacer por aquí?" Ellos son los dueños de la calle.

When I observe one of these quadrupeds in one of the strategic points they choose to rest or watch, I think I must approach in such a way that he does not feel that I am a threat, and stay where he is, and thus capture the image that I started to imagine in my head. I usually have to lean or crouch down to get the angle that favors him, which is strange to the canine and sometimes he turns to look at me with some curiosity, like: "What are you doing human? " But if I can get close and he goes about his own business, I am more likely to achieve the expected product.

Cuando observo a uno de estos cuadrupedos en alguno de los puntos estratégicos que eligen para descansar o vigilar, creo que debo acercarme de tal forma que él no sienta que soy una amenaza, y se quede donde está, y de esta forma capturar la imágen que empecé a imaginar en mi cabeza. Generalmente debo inclinarme o agacharme para lograr el ángulo que le favorezca, lo que le resulta extraño al canino y a veces voltea a verme con algo de curiosidad, como: "¿Qué estás haciendo humano?" Pero si logro acercarme y que él siga con sus propios asuntos, es más probable que logre el producto esperado.

It's a challenge when there are several of them, because it's enough for just one of them to get rowdy, start barking at me and provoke the others. However, many of them are "stabilized". I don't know if that's the right term, but by that I mean they tend to keep their cool while exercising caution. They tend to get along well with other dogs, distinguishing when humans are not a threat and when one of them is crossing the line. When they are like this, it is easier for them to maintain their posture while your shutter opens and closes rapidly.

Es un reto cuando son varios, porque es suficiente que sólo uno de ellos se alborote, empiece a ladrarme y provoque a los demás. No obstante, muchos de ellos están "estabilizados". No sé si es el término adecuado, pero con eso me estoy refiriendo a que suelen mantener la tranquilidad mientras ejercen la cautela. Suelen llevarse bien con los demás perros, distinguir cuando los humanos no presentan una amenaza y cuándo alguno de ellos se está pasando de la raya. Cuando son así, es más fácil que conserven su postura mientras tu obturador abre y cierra velozmente.

👆This last one I had to ask permission from its owner. We were walking after a comforting day of volunteer work and from afar I saw this specimen sitting quietly in front of the human that serves as his companion, looking at both sides of the street, turning his head like a fan. I stopped and after asking for his name I asked his permission to photograph his pet. He didn't seem to mind either and went about his business.

👆Ésta última tuve que pedir permiso a su dueño. Veníamos caminando luego de un día reconfortante de trabajo voluntario y desde lejos ví a éste ejemplar sentado, tranquilo, frente al humano que le sirve de compañía, mirando a ambos lados de la calle, girando su cabeza como un ventilador. Me detuve y luego de preguntar por su nombre le pedí permiso para fotografear a su mascota. Parece que tampoco le importó y él siguió con los suyo.

Where do you think I was when I took this picture? 👆 In the middle of the street! Literally... While looking for some open shops in the middle of the day, I noticed this pack of dogs resting in the shadow of this building. So I stopped and looked to the side. As there were no cars coming towards me, I turned around, stopped in front of them, took out my cell phone and took this picture leaning over.

¿Dónde crees que estaba cuando tomé ésta fotografía? 👆 ¡En el medio de la calle! Literalmente... Mientras buscaba unos locales comerciales abiertos en pleno mediodía, me percaté de ésta pandilla de perros descansando en la sombra de éste edificio. Así que me detuve y miré a los lados. Como no había carros viniendo hacia mí, me devolví, me detuve frente a ellos, saqué mi celular y tomé esta foto inclinándome.

Some of these canines transmit an enviable tranquility and calmness, something that some of us can only achieve when we are asleep. And just as you don't like to be disturbed when you're sleeping, it's best to leave them alone. Don't disturb the owners of the street.

Algunos de estos caninos transmiten una tranquilidad y sosiego envidiable, algo que algunos logramos sólo cuando estamos dormidos. Y tal como a tí no te gusta que te molesten cuando estás durmiendo, a ellos también es mejor dejarlos quietos. No perturbes a los dueños de la calle.
