ENGLISHEl Café hill is a favorite mountain for many hiking enthusiasts in Valencia, Venezuela.One of them, a travel and adventure vlogger, came with me and his father to explore the trails.We started the hike at a rather hot time, one in the afternoon. We live in a hot country, but fortunately, the hill has so many trees that the sun rarely bothered us.
ENGLISHI like seeing silence in all its forms. Especially when the city is so loud.It might sound misanthropic, but sometimes I just love seeing the street empty. I mean, no people, nothing.It gives the city a kind of beautiful touch.
ENGLISHHumans pay tribute to other humans who've transcended.Exceptional people, who stand out from the crowd and mark a before and after in history.And in Venezuela, it seems, statues abound, mostly paying homage to military figures and religious leaders.
ENGLISHAsk for permission before, or after the photo? Or is it just better to avoid photographing strangers on the street?These were the questions I asked myself when I looked at street photography (as a viewer).I even wondered what I would do if someone took a picture of me without my consent.
ENGLISHSeeing animals locked up isn't exactly my favorite plan, but when it comes to capturing things through photography, personal preferences often take a backseat.I went to the Valencia Aquarium in Venezuela to check out the state of their facilities. I ran into a security guard who wouldn't let me take pictures.
ENGLISHTraveling and taking photos is a great combination, especially when I do it in places I've never visited. A few days ago, a friend invited me to a photography event called "Digitaliza tu ciudad" by an NGO (Digitize your city), which consisted of photographing different points of interest to then upload the material to a public platform for informational purposes.
