The afternoon was coming to an end. I was almost ready to pick up my camera to leave to share some beers with my colleagues on a wooden bench, and my cell phone rang. There's still time? I'm coming! It was Lorena, who is almost known here by those who read my posts. I told her that as long as there was sunlight, there was hope. She met me on the path on the way out. Thank goodness I was on time", she said. She dropped her little backpack on the ground and jumped onto the grass, ready for her photos. She almost knows how photography works, she looked for her own strip of light, and there she stayed, looking at me with those huge colorful eyes that vary according to unknown chemistry, waiting for my poses (I also transform myself with my grimaces) and my photos. A few steps, a few glances, a few turns. She received a call on her cell phone: her friends were waiting for her outside the park to continue on their way to the bar where they planned to close the day. I was satisfied. We took a little look at the photos already taken. It was perfect. In these 15 minutes we did quite a few good things, we have good material to work with. See you, don't miss the next safari!" I told her. She picked her little backpack, her white shirt, and left.
Estaba terminando la tarde. Ya casi recogiendo mi cámara para partir a compartir en un banco de madera algunas cervezas con mis colegas, y suena el móvil. Todavía hay tiempo? Ya estoy llegando! Era Lorena, que ya casi la conocen aquí los que más leen mis posts. Yo le dije que mientras hubiese sol, había esperanza. Ella me encontró en el sendero camino a la salida. Menos mal que llegué a tiempo!, me dijo. Soltó su pequeña mochila al suelo y saltó al pasto, lista para sus fotos. Ya casi conoce cómo funciona la fotografía, ella misma buscó su franja de luz, y allí quedó, mirándome con esos inmensos ojos de colores que varían según qué sé yo qué química, esperando mis poses (que yo también me transformo con mis muecas) y mis fotos. Unos pasos, unas miradas, unos giros y recibió una llamada en su móvil: sus amigos la esperaban afuera del parque para seguir camino al bar donde planeaban cerrar la jornada. Yo me di por satisfecho. Dimos una pequeña ojeada a las fotos ya hechas. Perfecto. En estos 15 minutos hicimos bastantes cosas buenas, hay material para trabajar. Nos vemos, no faltes al siguiente safari!, le dije. Cargó su mochilita, su camisa blanca, y partió.
Thanks for the opportunity!
