Greetings, friends of Photography Lovers
The Cuban countryside always has something special, doesn't it? The landscapes, the people... they are things that stay with you. Today I want to share with you a trip I made in April, when I went far away to the east of Cuba, with the idea of photographing endemic birds. Imagine: 900 kilometers by train, an adventure!
But beyond the birds, what surprised me was the life in those rural communities. I had an ideal image in my head of what I was going to find, but the reality was different. Upon arrival, I found scenes that speak for themselves: serious faces, simple homes, a sense of abandonment that makes you think.
Los campos cubanos siempre tienen algo especial, ¿verdad? Los paisajes, la gente... son cosas que se quedan contigo. Hoy quiero compartirles un viaje que hice en abril, cuando me fui bien lejos al oriente de Cuba, con la idea de fotografiar aves endémicas. Imagínense: 900 kilómetros en tren, ¡una aventura!
Pero más allá de las aves, lo que me sorprendió fue la vida en esas comunidades rurales. Tenía en la cabeza una imagen ideal de lo que iba a encontrar, pero la realidad fue otra. Al llegar, me encontré con escenas que hablan por sí solas: rostros serios, hogares sencillos, una sensación de abandono que te hace pensar.
I kept those pictures for a while because, honestly, they left me with a mixture of sadness and reflection. Today I want to show you these images as a tribute to those people and their reality, which is not always the easiest.
Guardé esas fotos un tiempo porque, honestamente, me dejaron con una mezcla de tristeza y reflexión. Hoy quiero mostrarles estas imágenes como un homenaje a esas personas y su realidad, que no siempre es la más fácil.
Documentary photography allows us to capture and share moments that tell stories. In these 10 photos, you'll see people and landscapes that, although they seem silent, have a lot to say. It's not what I expected to see, but it's something I felt I had to share.
La fotografía documental nos permite capturar y compartir momentos que cuentan historias. En estas 10 fotos, verán a personas y paisajes que, aunque parezcan en silencio, tienen mucho que decir. No es lo que esperaba ver, pero es algo que siento que debía compartir.
All photographs were taken by me and with a Nikon D200 camera, lens 70-300mm.
