These past few days have certainly been intense, so much so that I've gotten quite a tan without meaning to. But as a photography enthusiast, especially from a street photography perspective, it's essential to consider the use of natural sunlight, and in my case, I particularly love these sunny days. What I've mentioned is part of the lighting composition in the different scenes I'm presenting, where the subjects are all human; it's about capturing the reality of each of these people.
I don't need to travel to places where we can see these cultural, economic, and social differences. You only need to go out anywhere in this city, where in every corner we see these diverse people: some going about their daily routines, others living normally, and still others experiencing great hardship, for whom the street is their only way to survive. These are mostly elderly people because it's difficult for them to find work, or they may live alone or have no family, so the rest of their lives can be very difficult.
Of course, this can happen in any country in the world; it's not an issue that doesn't affect what we call first-world countries, where it can even be worse. Unfortunately, it's due to society and the mismanagement of governments that act with indifference as if this doesn't exist or isn't happening. But this is just a small part of the thousands of problems that can affect the people of a country; it's a perennial issue.
All photographs are my own.
