Windows to the city and without filters. /Monomad Challenge [Eng/Esp]
**Greetings #blackandwhite family.**

I am sometimes asked what the conceptual intent of my photographs is. The truth is simple: I don't seek to convey abstract ideas or provoke complex analysis. I prefer to capture everyday scenes, those moments that breathe spontaneity and are enjoyed at a glance.

I consider then that my photos are, above all, windows. For those who do not know Havana, they serve as a visual testimony of how we live and relate to each other, where you can recognize that mixture of madness and joy that defines us.   Havana always has a new angle to discover, and I would love to read your impressions.

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

So here I say goodbye, I thank you infinitely for your kindness to visit my publication and time, let me know your comments which I will be happy to answer them. Remember they are more than photos, they are windows of a very Havana reality that is mine and everybody's. Hugs and see you soon.

Saludos familia de #blackandwhite

A veces me preguntan qué intención conceptual tienen mis fotografías. La verdad es sencilla: no busco transmitir ideas abstractas ni provocar análisis complejos. Prefiero capturar escenas cotidianas, esos momentos que respiran espontaneidad y se disfrutan a simple vista.

Considero entonces que mis fotos son, ante todo, ventanas. Para quienes no conocen La Habana, ellas sirven de testimonio visual de cómo vivimos y nos relacionamos, donde se pueda reconocer esa mezcla de locura y alegría que nos define.   La Habana siempre tiene un nuevo ángulo que descubrir, y me encantará leer sus impresiones.  

- Músicos callejeros, las calles son su escenario, y sus instrumentos, herramientas de trabajo.
- Un sitio para buscar relajación y disfrutar, donde el tiempo parece detenerse. Ideal para compartir con los tuyos o perderse en tus pensamientos.
- Un carro de caballos antiguo, reliquia sobre ruedas, elegante pero olvidada.
_ Un niño muy ocurrente, en una de las plazas más antiguas de la ciudad, demuestra que la imaginación no necesita más que un rincón y un momento.  
- Tienda de abanicos, aunque el sol apriete, los clientes escasean.
- Felizmente casados, amor sobre ruedas, ellos preservan la costumbre de pasear juntos.
- Vendedor de granizados, sacando cuentas, su puesto es un oasis callejero.
- Palacio y sus columnas, ellas sostienen más que un techo: guardan memorias.

Entonces por aquí me despido, les agradezco infinitamente la amabilidad de visitar mi publicación y el tiempo, me dejan saber sus comentarios qué estaré encantado de responderles. Recuerden son más que fotos ventanas de una realidad muy habanera que es mía y de todos. Abrazos y nos vemos pronto.

Tus fotografías son un testimonio atemporal se la realidad cubana. Que es genial que lo hagas porque cambiamos tanto que cuando vemos fotografías de hace un par de años siempre hay algo extinguido o mutado. Mi preferida hoy es la tienda de abanicos, la boda por el malecon también. Todas geniales. 👌
