Yes, I've said it before in my street photography series posts: Streets can be looked at in different ways. Sometimes the vision is broad, sometimes I looks for humanity and sometimes I seems to have a more primal and punctual vision. Then, the more abstract details start to be noticed, the textures and patterns become relevant and the eloquence becomes a necessary and found image, in this last category are these photos shared by me with you today...

There is a complex and fascinating drama in things when you look at them closely. I am referring to those traces left by time, to the imperfections inherent in human work, to the defiance that can come from the abandonment captured in a space and shouting out its irreversible existence. My village is a place where these things abound, whether one uses a wide gaze or prefers to observe in a concentrated way the lesser details... That's why I take photos here I think... I am referring to that availability of factors where the psychological and the visual are mixed...

📷 05- "Inperfect masonry"

📷 06- "Behind the broken sign"

As exciting as the moment of capturing these photos, is also the process of finding each one of them. It is not an easy thing to do, I admit, because one has to let go of some visual paradigms and choose to understand the relevance and meaning of things that before seemed insignificant to us. But after one does this kind of photography for the first time, it slowly makes a space in our "photographic time" and ends up becoming part of the visual repertoire that we like...

BLACK AND WHITE VERSIONS

Obviously, when these photos are devoid of colour, when desaturation works its magic... Then the meaning of each one of them is even more naked (that's my particular opinion) and you have to make a bigger effort (I call that: "think more about the photo") to understand and/or find the meaning of what you are looking at... So, that's why I like to add the monochrome versions of my photographic works. And it's not a secondary thing when I do this. No, actually sharing my work in black and white too, is as relevant and necessary a part of it as what you see in colour. In fact, I love to do it both ways...

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 shots are then exported to JGP format on which minor modifications such as straightening and adding watermarks were carried out using PhotoScape 3.6.3.
