"STREET WITNESS" - Street photography from Aguirre, Venezuela - Week 08 - MONOMAD
Hello monochromatic #Hive friends, welcome to a new edition of my black and white street photography series in "Street Witness" format. This, as some of you already know, I do this to share my photos from a more intimate point of view and perhaps they are the kind of photos that most "talk about me while talking about themselves". I feel that this is also what photography is, a bit like meeting and confronting ourselves with the image, so that at the end of the day the image can say things that we are thinking about at the moment of taking it.
Hola amigos monocromáticos de #Hive, sean bienvenidos a una nueva edición de mis series de fotografías callejeras en blanco y negro en formato "Testigo callejero". Esto, como algunos de vosotros ya saben, lo hago para compartir mis fotos desde un punto de vistas más intimo y quizás sean el tipo de fotos que más "hablan de mi mientras hablan de si mismas". Siento que eso es también la fotografía, un poco encontrarnos y confrontarnos con la imagen, para al final de todo lograr que la imagen diga cosas de lo que estamos pensando al momento de hacerla.
"Street with dead tree" / "Calle con árbol muerto"
"The angel looks at the photographer" / "El ángel mira al fotógrafo"
"Ruins on the plantation" / "Ruinas en la plantación"
"Silences from the bell tower" / "Silencios del campanario"
These photographs were taken in a small (really very small) village 5 kilometres from my village Montalbán. This village is called "Aguirre" and it is part of our municipality (also called Montalbán) so it is a village very close to ours and whose gentilicio we share, as well as the administrative offices and other similar things.
Estas fotografías son realizadas en un pequeño (realmente muy pequeño) pueblo a 5 kilómetros de mi Pueblo Montalbán. Este pueblo lleva por nombre "Aguirre" y forma parte de nuestro municipio (también llamado Montalbán) así que se trata de un poblado muy unido al nuestro y cuyo gentilicio compartimos, al igual que las dependencias administrativas y otras cosas similares.
"Minimalist" / "Minimalismo"
"Old courtyard border" / "Frontera del patio viejo"
"Broken wall with bulb" / "Pared rota con bombilla"
"Aguirre's main street" / "Calle principal de Aguirre"
It is a very small town, very sparsely populated and with many properties alone or for sale. So taking street photos in this place is quite "psychological" so to speak and there are times when you just stand quietly watching to see if a photo "happens" in front of you and capture it. In a sense, the feeling here is that time runs more slowly compared to other places.
Es un pueblo muy pequeño, muy poco poblado y con muchas propiedades solas o en venta. Así que hacer fotos de calle en este lugar es algo bastante "psicológico" por así decirlo y hay momentos en los que uno simplemente permanece en silencio observando a ver sí una foto "sucede" en frente y capturarla. En cierto sentido, la sensación aquí es que el tiempo corre más lentamente sí se le compara con otros lugares.
"Bolívar" / "Bolívar"
"The bench salesman" / "El vendedor de banquetas"
"Raw façade" / "Fachada cruda"
"On the meeting way" / "Rumbo a la tertulia"
As it usually happens when it comes to my black and white street photos, this is my entry to today's #monomada challenge.

That big dead tree looks dangerous, even more dangerous when it is still alive I think with the power line above it.

Great photos again dear Jesus, as always. You captured these moments well. The little dog is sooo cute 😍
Have a nice week my friend 😊
@jlinaresp This series of photos is very interesting to look at. The little note of humor with the wall and the light bulb. We don't expect to not see that light bulb on. The contrast of the photos gives a lot of detail to look at
Congratulations. Today's #monomad first place is yours.
Thank You very much for participating and for being part of the Black And White Community!
