She was absorbed in some idea or desire, or she was just contemplating the last rays of sun that filtered through the old houses on the opposite shore. I watched her from afar. From time to time she turned to see the people walking on the plank floor, she stretched her arms over the railing of the floating walk, moved her hair, and sighed. Meanwhile, I photographed people passing by, but without losing sight of her. I decided that I had to make myself noticed in some way - photographers in Old Havana are not so strange anymore - so I got closer little by little. I guess the sound of the shutter curtains, the continuous beeps of the focus, my heavy steps on the boards, or my screams stretched over time towards my models finally caught their attention. With great concealment and through my visor I was scanning the surroundings, I knew that I could now finish my movement at my final objective... little by little, in a gentle turn, I went from the wall until I ended up on her face, she was still slightly sighing. At that moment I looked over my camera...I needed confirmation before I started immortalizing this girl. She looked at me, I made a photographer's face ready to shoot, and then she smiled. The sequence ended with "Hello! What's your name?"
Ella estaba absorta en alguna idea o deseo, o solamente contemplaba los últimos rayos de sol que se colaban por entre las vetustas casas de la orilla opuesta. Yo la miraba desde lo lejos. Ella de vez en cuando se giraba para ver la gente caminar por el suelo de tablas, alargaba sus brazos por la baranda del paseo flotante, movía su pelo, suspiraba. Yo mientras tanto fotografiaba a la gente pasar, pero sin perderla de vista. Decidí que tenía que hacerme notar de alguna manera -los fotógrafos en la Habana Vieja ya no son tan extraños-, así que me fui acercando poco a poco. Supongo que el sonido de las cortinillas del obturador, o los contínuos beeps del enfoque, o mis pasos pesados sobre los tablones, o mis gritos alargados en el tiempo hacia mis modelos por fin captaron su atención. Con mucho disimulo y a través de mi visor fui oteando el entorno, sabía que ya podía terminar mi movimiento en mi objetivo final...poco a poco, en un giro suave, fui desde la muralla hasta terminar en el rostro de ella, que suspiraba levemente. En ese momento miré por encima de mi cámara...necesitaba una confirmación antes de comenzar a inmortalizar a esta muchacha. Ella me miró, yo hice una mueca de fotógrafo listo para disparar, y entonces ella sonrió. La secuencia terminó con un "Hola! Cómo te llamas?"
