Greetings Hivers.
"There isn't any."
A simple combination of words that has become all too common in today's Cuba. And I am not only talking about the shortage of food or other basic goods. I am talking about something much harder to find: hope.
It is something I notice more and more in the faces of the people I see on the streets. Sometimes I look back at photographs I took a few years ago, and the difference is striking, especially among the elderly. Their expressions seem heavier, more exhausted. Many times I do not even raise the camera. I simply do not feel like doing it.
Perhaps the situation is not as severe as I perceive it. Maybe it is just the perspective of someone who spends his days observing people. But this is what I find through my photography: older people wandering without a clear destination, with worn faces and tired steps, carrying far more than the weight of age.
Today's post is a bit sad. But it is not always possible to be cheerful when we pay attention to what is happening around us. Even so, I hope you enjoy the photographs I am sharing today.
Saludos hivers.
"No hay".
Una lamentable combinaci贸n de palabras que se ha vuelto demasiado habitual en la Cuba actual. Y no hablo solamente de la escasez de comida o de cualquier otro producto. Hablo de algo m谩s dif铆cil de encontrar: la esperanza.
Eso es algo que noto cada vez m谩s en los rostros de las personas que veo por la calle. A veces reviso fotograf铆as tomadas hace algunos a帽os y la diferencia resulta brutal, sobre todo en los ancianos. Sus expresiones parecen m谩s pesadas, m谩s cansadas. Muchas veces ni siquiera levanto la c谩mara. Simplemente no quiero hacerlo.
Quiz谩s la situaci贸n no sea tan cr铆tica como la percibo. Tal vez sea solo la mirada de quien camina observando constantemente a los dem谩s. Pero eso es lo que encuentro en mi trabajo fotogr谩fico: personas mayores que parecen andar sin rumbo, con rostros demacrados y pasos lentos, como si cargaran mucho m谩s que el peso de los a帽os.
El post de hoy tiene un tono algo triste. Pero no siempre se puede estar alegre cuando miramos con atenci贸n lo que sucede a nuestro alrededor. Aun as铆, espero que disfruten las fotograf铆as que les traigo hoy.
