A reflection of life

Photography takes me to that dimension that is otherwise unattainable. Humans as a spirit presence. Through layers of different dimensions from mere existence. My street photography speaks to my deepest.

I never thought that photography should only embody the reality we have before us. This is why I am a street photographer.

Intuition is born in an instant. And I am perfectly aware that sometimes things come to me from an intuition but that what will be captured by the camera sensor is something I cannot control anything about. A perfect example is this photo, taken of a speeding bus. Photographs of this type mean relying on chance. Or if you want luck. It is that liquid image that you pursue without knowing. Something completely different from those who always want to be in control of everything.

The result is an imperfect frame, blurry, but in which there is still life. What am I but above all who am I to discuss what is coming? About what comes into my life? Suddenly something arrives that calls everything into question.

Suddenly I see this bus. I wait it and I press the shutter button when it passes in front of me, whizzing quickly. What will I have photographed? I don't know and I don't want to know. I will see it at home.

Serendipity: the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way.
