The photos 馃摳 are my entry to the #monomad contest from monochromes@monochromes and brumest@brumest.


Greetings, Hivers.

A few weeks ago, while taking a street walk around Old Havana with my friend muhammadhalim@muhammadhalim, we came across a very peculiar place. It is called El Ojo del Hurac谩n, or at least that is how I remember its name.

It is a beautiful place with a very particular history and a space that has been home to well-known artists. In fact, it is one of those workshops where some of the artworks we see around Cuba today are born.

Over time, the space has also become a charming little caf茅, and having a coffee there feels quite special. It is quiet, surrounded by art everywhere you look, one of those places you discover almost by accident and immediately realize deserves a much slower visit.

We didn't take many photographs that day. It was more like a first approach, a small taste of everything the place has to offer.

But we are definitely going back. This time with more time, and who knows, perhaps with some models for a proper photo session. I think something really interesting could come out of it.

The photographs speak for themselves.

I hope you enjoy the series. I鈥檒l be reading your comments.

Saludos hivers.

Hace unas semanas, durante un paseo callejero con mi amigo muhammadhalim@muhammadhalim, entramos en un lugar muy peculiar de La Habana Vieja. Se llama El Ojo del Hurac谩n, o al menos as铆 recuerdo que se llama.

Es un lugar precioso, con una historia muy particular y que ha sido cuna de artistas reconocidos. En realidad, es uno de esos talleres donde nacen algunas de las obras de arte que hoy podemos encontrar por toda Cuba.

Con el tiempo, este espacio se ha convertido tambi茅n en una cafeter铆a muy pintoresca, y tomarse un caf茅 all铆 tiene un gusto especial. Es un lugar tranquilo, literalmente rodeado de arte por todas partes, de esos sitios que uno descubre casi por casualidad y termina pensando que merece una visita mucho m谩s pausada.

Ese d铆a no hicimos demasiadas fotos. Fue m谩s bien un primer acercamiento, una peque帽a probada de todo lo que tiene para ofrecer.

Pero definitivamente vamos a volver. Esta vez con m谩s calma y, qui茅n sabe, quiz谩s con algunos modelos para dedicarle una sesi贸n completa. Creo que podr铆a salir algo realmente interesante.

Las fotos hablan por s铆 solas.

Espero disfruten de la serie. Los leo.
