Street photographs from Venezuela - Monomad challenge.

in Black And White2 months ago

Today I'm here to share a new set of street photographs I took around this small Venezuelan city. These photos focus on small moments of some of the thousands of people who live in this city.

I'll start by showing you my favorite photo from the whole set. There was a man sitting outside his house selling some vegetables and herbs that seemed to be from his own harvest. The scene seemed too inspiring to me, and I had to take a photo of it!

Hoy vengo a compartirles un nuevo set de fotografias callejeras que tomé alrededor esta pequeña ciudad venezolana. Estas fotos se centran en pequeños instantes de algunas de las miles de personas que hacen vida en esta ciudad.

Empezare por mostrarles mi foto favorita de todo el set, habia un señor sentado fuera de su casa vendiendo algunos vegetales y hierbas que parecian ser de su propia cosecha, la escena me pareció demasiado inspiradora y tuve que tomarle una foto:

That same day, I saw a boy who adapted a shopping cart to sell all kinds of things:

Ese mismo dia vi a un muchacho que adaptó un carrito de supermercado para vender todo tipo de cosas:

In another part of the city, I saw this boy walking with his cart. I didn't know what he was selling, but it looked very curious.

En otro lugar de la ciudad vi a este muchacho que iba caminando con su carrito, no supe que vendia pero se veia muy curioso

In Venezuela, it's very common to see people asking for money at traffic lights, especially older adults.

En venezuela es muy comun ver a personas pidiendo dinero en los semaforos, especialmente adultos mayores..

Many others, like this one, do some kind of acrobatics or juggling to ask for tips at traffic lights:

I headed to a residential area that is usually full of people to look for interesting moments or scenes to photograph. On the way, I took a couple of photos...

A boy was riding down the street on his skateboard:

Me dirigí a una zona residencial que suele estar llena de personas, para buscar momentos o escenas interesantes de fotografiar, en el camino hice un par de fotos...

The next scene looked very interesting, a facade of an old house with an old car:

Minutes later, I arrived at the residential area, and the first thing I saw was a couple of men sitting outside their houses, talking quietly...

Minutos mas tarde llegué a la zona residencial y lo primero que vi fue un par de señores sentados fuera de sus casas hablando tranquilamente...

Urban life is an endless source of good pics, every town and country with its own lights and shadows. A poet once said everyday life was underestimated as a source of inspiration, and I agree with him.

¡Buen trabajo!
