I take the picture quickly, capture the movement, and the look. I don't even have the equipment ready. That's life when it puts certain things in front of you and you decide to act... you don't think much about the consequences. Then I get home and look at the photo. The eyes... I would have liked them to be more focused. I don't want to edit this, I want it to be real, imperfect, like life. But it's just that she was behind a fence like a grid. And when I pointed my camera she was moving, enjoying a few rays of sunshine. She wasn't alone, there was a huge dog next to her, sleeping? They are friends. I hesitated to approach because he might wake up and go to the fence to bark at me. However, I did and there the camera got stuck. I had the focus on automatic and it didn't focus. Has it happened to you? I got closer... I shot. I got it, or at least I thought I did. The dog turned around but decided to continue sunbathing pleasantly, I wasn't a problem for him.
That's how I felt when I got home maybe... 3 hours ago?. It's an inaccurate estimate because I'm not known for accuracy.
How do I look? What do you notice about this kitty?
Surprise, tenderness? Well, that's how I see it.
I didn't know I would identify so much with this photo. I took it on a short walk... ajá, I could say it was a walk. I went out to stretch my legs and to buy a few things for my pantry and lunch today... mmmm, it's 3 p.m. I just drank a lot of water and made coffee. I am having my coffee with a small spoonful of condensed milk. Yeet! I like it very much.
I'm enjoying my snack... do you want some?
My friend, the Panasonic Lumix, is a powerful tool for reflection. Crossing the avenue, I felt that everything was going very fast. Sometimes we notice that some days are slower than others. Maybe it's because it's Friday, and everyone is in a hurry to get home.
Or they're just in a hurry because it's raining in the afternoon and they don't want to be caught by surprise by this lady. Sometimes she gets a bit cranky and lets her anger out in the form of lightning bolts. 😅
I wasn't in a hurry. I don't think I'm going to be in a hurry for a while, so I just looked around, as usual. And I was thinking, as always.
You see, this man looks like he works in a garage or something, maybe at the electric company, and he just bought a Parranda beer. It's Friday... it's hot.
A little further on, towards the woman's heading, someone has had to fix something. Things tend to go wrong. But they can be fixed as long as there are resources and will.
I said to myself: these are photos for the #Monomad! I hadn't seen them on my laptop, and I knew I would bring them here. I like simplicity, I like my imagination to put colour where it is needed. I want to understand and be certain about things I imagine.
Afterwards it was already complicated with the shopping bags... but I stopped again, on the way back, to say hello to this friend.
-I don't mean to disturb you at your snack time. You have a lot of snacks, huh?
-You look nice
-Oh, thank you. 🙂🙃

Someone I know saw me crossing 100th Avenue.
You know how friends are... 😂 (nani anda en short y chancletas por la calle haciendo fotos)
There are many people who make me smile and feel like that kitty at the beginning of the post.
Thank you.
