English Version

Walking the Havana streets is for me like entering a living stage, where every place has a story and every moment can be immortalized in a photo. A defined site is not necessary, it is enough to let myself be carried away by curiosity and stop in those places and moments that catch my attention. The city always offers itself ready to be observed (and photographed).

The streets in Cuba are very dynamic because also a large part of daily life takes place there. People who come and go in a continuous movement, returning from their jobs, toward their homes or going out to fulfill some task. The street vendors who go through the neighborhoods loudly proclaiming their merchandise and who mix with the. The neighbors who converse from house to house or on the balconies, sharing the latest news, favors, and stories of the neighborhood, and others, who like me, simply stop to stroll and enjoy a quiet moment. Every instant is ideal to observe and find an urban scene that deserves to be remembered.

There is also the architecture of course, with that fusion of styles so characteristic of Havana. Colonial buildings that coexist with modern constructions and that try to make their way among the old in an evident contrast, although far from being a clash, it becomes a peculiar harmony that defines the identity of the city. It is a combination that creates a unique landscape, full of textures and memories.

Havana is like that, a place where life unfolds in its streets, where the architecture tells stories and where our gaze always finds some detail that deserves to be photographed. It does not matter if it is a vendor with his cry, a child playing on the sidewalk, or a building that holds centuries of history, everything becomes part of an urban mosaic that never stops moving and transforming.

Andar las calles habaneras es para mi como entrar en un escenario vivo, donde cada lugar tiene una historia y cada momento se puede inmortalizar en una foto. No es necesario un sitio definido, basta con dejarse llevar por la curiosidad y detenerme en esos lugares y momentos que me llamen la atención. La ciudad se ofrece siempre lista para ser observada (y fotografiada).

Las calles en Cuba son muy dinámicas porque también gran parte de la vida cotidiana se desarrolla allí. Personas que van y vienen en un movimiento continuo, regresando de sus trabajos, hacia sus hogares o saliendo a cumplir alguna tarea. Los vendedores ambulantes que recorren los barrios pregonando a viva voz su mercancía y que se mezclan con el bullicio del día. Los vecinos que conversan de casa en casa o en los balcones, compartiendo las ultimas noticias, favores e historias del barrio, y otros, que como yo, simplemente se detienen a pasear y disfrutar de un momento tranquilo. Cada instante es ideal para observar y encontrar una escena urbana que merece ser recordada.

También está la arquitectura por supuesto, con esa fusión de estilos tan característica de La Habana. Edificios coloniales que conviven con construcciones modernas y que intentan abrirse paso entre lo antiguo entre un evidente contraste, aunque lejos de ser un choque, se convierte en una armonía peculiar que define la identidad de la ciudad. Es una combinación que crea un paisaje único, lleno de texturas y memorias.

La Habana es así, un lugar donde la vida se despliega en sus calles, donde la arquitectura cuenta historias y donde nuestra murada encuentra siempre algún detalle que merece ser fotografiado. No importa si es un vendedor con su pregón, un niño jugando en la acera, o un edificio que guarda siglos de historia, todo se convierte en parte de un mosaico urbano que nunca deja de moverse y transformarse.

Espero hayan disfrutado de estas series de fotografías de mi ciudad. Un Saludo, ¡y hasta la próxima!
