"STREET WITNESS" - Street photography from Montalbán, Venezuela.

tcats.jpg


As most of those who follow and frequent my publications will know (thanks for that guys) the place where I live and actually our whole country, has been affected for years by various problems ranging from social, economic to political and an exodus of inhabitants which leaves towns like these with fewer and fewer people...

📷 02- "ONLY YOUR SHADOW ACCOMPANIES"

So, what I have most at hand to photograph are these streets whose scenes speak very clearly of what is going on here. Obviously I also have nature, landscapes and fauna at my fingertips, but I think that almost 80% of my photographic work is developed in these streets that surround me. And I do this because of the "psychological charge" that street photography imposes on places like this. Something that, as you can guess, I love... (Maybe I'm a kind of "frustrated dramaturge" and I'm compensating for this through photography 😂).

📷 04- "COMPULSORY ANACHRONISM"

This is my first post under "STREET WITNESS" format and I want to use this one to share my street photos under a mostly photographic approach, although as always I will be adding some experiential comments about it, as that is something practically innate in me and it would be very difficult for me to create an article without it.

📷 05- "EVEN IF THEY TRY TO SEPARATE US"

T06.jpg
📷 06- "ANOTHER WINDOW WITH NO ONE BEHIND"

I have made a habit of recording in my street photographs the way in which the town is inexorably dwindling. Therefore, the titles I place on these images have a profound relationship to what I perceive and experience here. That means that in a way "I also reflect myself in these photos".

Thank you very much for your visit and appreciation!


ADDITIONAL TECHNICAL NOTE: Photographs captured with my Nikon D7000 DSLR camera in RAW format, then processed in Adobe Camera RAW for adjustments regarding light, sharpening, contrast and depth... The pictures are then exported to JPG format on which minor modifications such as straightening and adding watermarks were carried out using PhotoScape 3.6.3.

I am really impressed by your street photography. The images are beautifully composed and capture the loneliness and decay of your town in a powerful way.

CARLOS ON HIS HANDMADE MULE-BIKE: This photo is a beautiful portrait of a man who has found a creative way to adapt to the challenges of his environment.

Ah friend @malos10, thank you very much for your visit and motivating comment...

Well yes, Carlos is an "inveterate entrepreneur and a tireless inventor"... Right now he is building a "quadricycle with a mower engine"... here we are eagerly waiting to see that! :))

Hello @erikah friend, thank you so much for stopping by and appreciating these photos!... Well, I have always lived in this town and I have been taking photos here, in these streets, for more than a decade... So that allows me to capture everything "just as It's happening"... It's a small place, full of images on every street... :)

Have a great day my friend and thans again! ;)
