Passing strangers are always interesting. Does it cross your mind as to what they were thinking when they walked by? I wonder if these two have been friends since they were young.. or sisters maybe? 🙂

  Most of the time we treat passers-by as actors of the story we want to tell. In our photographs, they perform a role that probably has nothing to do with them.

  Perhaps too late, someone decides that the future would be better walking in company than solo.

Verdaderamente impactante, potente, ese muro inmenso de ladrillo que sirve de fondo a las mujeres. Resulta una especie de símbolo de la época que nos está tocando vivir y recuerda a las imágenes de la Gran Depresión. Me sorprende ver una fotografía tuya con una imagen humana 🙂 Abrazo

  Gracias Carlos.
  Admiro a aquellos que, entre la creciente legión olvidados, mantienen su dignidad ante un futuro nada halagüeño.
  El muro de la indiferencia es cada vez más alto y grueso y sólo el silencio y la soledad acompañan al que perdido el tren de la vida.
  Un abrazo

  When you are able to relax and quiet your mind, composition comes on its own.

  Streets, as you know so well, are full of stories which everyone interpret in his own way.

Marcelo, this is a magnificent photograph!
Everything about it, from the tones to the spot-on composition, is simply perfection.
Beautifully done!

  I am well aware that my pictures are far from perfect, but I am working passionately in order to reach that objective.

  Carrying our “broken dreams” luggage, we are moving to a grim future.
  There comes a time when we were left completely alone surrounded by a wall of indifference whose gates are always closed.

    one sentence which is carrying me is: stay open…
    the world is the world and this became a really uncosy place, let us stay in beauty and love
    thankyou Marcelo,

      Not only “stay open” but, what it is more, I try to face every day with a smile. I like to believe that it helps to dispel this fog of frustration and discouragement that clouds our present time.

Well seen and photographed. Excellent contrast between the women and brick wall.

  I still have a long way to go in improving my photographic and editing skills in order to convey my emotions and ideas through my photographs.

    You’re well on your way there Marcelo. I find that sometimes the images we capture convey those emotions and ideas, but the processing skill OR style at the time doesn’t get the result we want. I have gone back a year or two after the capture and finally process it “correctly”. As for the photographic skill side, it’s ultimately the percentage of keepers versus the throwaways that changes. I’m a very low volume shooter (maybe too extreme at time), but I force myself to put a lot of attention into the composition of each shot. Even then, many comps never get used.

  Even though I believe in serendipity, I make my photographs from an initial mental scheme.

  Wanting to communicate feelings through my photographs, I always wait until everything is in the right place before pressing the shutter.
