Taking photos of people on the streets is always a complicated thing. I particularly have in my favour the fact that I have always lived in this town where I take pictures, so that makes it easier for me to take pictures of those I meet on the streets...
Hacer fotos de personas en las calles es siempre algo complicado. Yo particularmente tengo a favor el hecho de haber vivido siempre en este pueblo en donde hago fotos, entonces eso hace que sea más fácil para mi fotografiar a quienes me encuentro en las calles...

Despite knowing everyone here, I always still have a kind of ‘psychological shock’ when I take pictures of some people. This is especially true when it comes to portraits where the subject is in direct eye contact with my camera lens. I guess in this kind of photography there is a kind of momentary and intimate connection between the subject and the photographer, then somehow they are both reflected in the photo.
A pesar de conocer a todos aquí, siempre sigo teniendo una especie de "choque psicológico" cuando hago fotos de algunas personas. Esto es especialmente cierto cuando se trata de retratos en los que el sujeto está en contacto visual directo con el lente de mi cámara. Supongo que en este tipo de fotografías hay una especie de conexión momentánea e intima entre el sujeto y el fotógrafo, entonces de alguna manera ambos están reflejados en la foto.

Sometimes people are not entirely well and that is something that becomes palpable when you take a portrait of them unexpectedly (my favourite way to do it, by the way)... This is a place where daily life can be difficult for many of the people, so this is something that strikes me when I go through my camera and process these photographs. It is because of this kind of thing that I often say that street photography is a very human activity, very psychological, something that marks us and can transform us as we go through it.
Algunas veces las personas no están del todo bien y eso es algo que se hace palpable cuando se les hace un retrato de manera inesperada (lo que más me gusta hacer por cierto)... Este es un lugar en onde la vida diaria puede ser difícil para muchos de sus habitantes, así que esto es algo que me impacta al momento de revisar mi cámara y procesar estas fotografías. Es por este tipo de cosas que suelo decir que la fotografía callejera es una actividad muy humana, muy psicológica, algo que nos marca y puede transformarnos según lo llevemos a cabo.

Somewhat different from close-up portraits are those photos that I often call ‘stolen’ and that are taken without people realising that they are being photographed. These are less complex photos most of the time, yet they have the kind of eloquence and spontaneity that comes from the effort involved in ‘staying hidden and shooting the photo’ to capture the subject without any posing.
Algo distinto a los retratos cercanos son esas fotos que suelo llamar "robadas" y que son hechas sin que las personas se percaten de que están siendo fotografiadas. Esas son fotos menos complejas casi siempre, sin embargo tienen el tipo de elocuencia y espontaneidad producto de ese esfuerzo que implica "mantenerse oculto y disparar la foto" para capturar al sujeto sin pose alguna.

Very good series of portraits of people in the streets of your town.
There is something interesting in this photo and in the look of this gentleman. Very emotional
Hello @dimascastillo90 friend!... Thank you for your visit and your motivating comment!...
Gee, I forgot the name of that old man, but I see him quite often in a place they call ‘La esquina del Café’... I know that he usually asks for something to eat and drink and that people who have small kiosks usually collaborate with him... It is another of those unfortunate cases here of ‘old people who have been left alone’ due to the exodus of their families :( Sometimes these streets are hard my friend...

who is pointing at? haha..
nice shots, as always
!PIZZA
Hahaha :))... I really don't know!... It's a photo taken from a window in my house, I was preparing my camera to go out and I heard "Ñaca Ñaca" (that's what everyone calls him here) insulting someone, so I looked out the window and took this photo!... :)
This is a small town with too many photos going on I think! :))
Thanks for stopping by and appreciating my work @jane1289 friend!

Hello @tattoodjay friend!... Thanks for stopping by and supporting my work!... Certainly this type of street portraits are not always easy to do... I have in my favor the fact of having been born here and so many people know me, but I think I could not do this in other places... ;)

:) Thanks for stopping by and for the inspiring comment!!! Oh yes, here is a small place belonging to a friend (Wilmer the photographer) where the photos are printed!... But most people are happy with me sending them via WhatsApp or Telegram and others just want to see them on my social networks!... :)) However, I have printed some over my time taking photos and I have given them away almost always to elderly people who do not have access to technology!...
PS: Besides Wilmer, here in this small town there are two more photographers (Antero and Victor -coincidentally your namesake hehee) :)) But they all use their cameras as work, they take photos at social events, photos for companies and small businesses, weddings, baptisms, birthdays and events of the municipal authorities, churches and the like... But among them (Wilmer, Antero and Victor) only Victor takes a street photo from time to time, but it is not something he likes to do often... So for now, I still feel like the only "Loco con la cámara en la mano" here in Montalbán!!!... hahaha :))!!!...
I send blessings and my best wishes to you and all your close people there @victorbz friend!!!
