Hello friends of the Black and White community and #MonoMad! How is your week going? I hope everything is great. Around here, it's still very early. On this occasion, I want to show a series of photographs of people doing their daily jobs on the streets.
We have the Rappi delivery driver navigating the traffic, the "datero" waiting to give bus drivers their competitors' coordinates, the man spinning yarn on a bus (the main photo of this post), the painter doing acrobatics on a ladder, recyclers searching through the trash, the "combi"—our public transport that feels like riding a roller coaster—and the breakfast girl or the "emoliente" seller. These are all dignified jobs of people who earn their living day by day, without rest. I hope you enjoy this raw look at my city.

¡Hola amigos de la comunidad en Blanco y Negro y mis amigos del MonoMad! ¿Cómo va la semana? Espero que todo esté muy bien. Por acá aún es muy temprano. En esta ocasión quiero mostrar una serie de fotografías de las personas haciendo sus trabajos diarios en las calles.
Tendremos al repartidor de Rappi navegando el tráfico, al "datero" esperando darle las coordenadas al bus sobre su competidor, al señor que tiene que hilar en el bus (la foto principal de este post), al pintor haciendo acrobacias sobre una escalera, a los recicladores hurgando entre la basura, a la "combi" (un medio de transporte que es como subirse a una montaña rusa), y a la chica de los desayunos o el señor de los emolientes. Son trabajos dignos de personas que se ganan la vida día a día, sin descanso. Espero que disfruten esta mirada cruda a mi ciudad.
