A Sunday afternoon

Dec 19

Mexico City. Downtown. Photos taken between 6:36pm and 6:56pm.

20 minutes. 20 minutes to capture the energy of a city in a day close to X-Mas. I did it yesterday. Here I share the results:

Darkness advances. The streets get dark and I work at ISO 3200 and 5.6 aperture. The detail flays.

I push the performance of my M200, already knowing I'm at the limit of the acceptable. The grain explodes, everything becomes like a filter, a patina over the images and their sharpness, but I don’t care. The images have a feeling, I see them and go back to how I felt yesterday in the middle of the metropolitan chaos of a Sunday afternoon.
