Hope, fear or just plain tired

I took this photo from inside a steamy restaurant in a favorite plaça of mine.

It was dark with only florescent lighting illuminating the area

Contemplating whether to chose a diet coke with ice or a diet coke without ice (life is so challenging), I saw this lady walking and just about to sit down.

I got my camera ready, she sat, I took a few shots and here we are.

I photo shopped for contrast and that's it. I wanted to keep the ambiance of the moment. I chose not to crop to show her aloneness in a big space.

I hope you like the picture and that the photo evokes feelings and emotions for you as it did with me.

A Tourist’s Trap

It was any Sunday and we were doing our usual, talking, walking and taking photos.

After shooting some pics I decided to lay my weary bones on a park bench.

I sat where three sat. We greeted one another.

Anyway, before I knew it we were taking photos and videos of each other, chatting, laughing and joking around.

They are from Chile visiting their son who has been here for many, many years.

Yes, drat, I was entrapped by Orlando, Silvia and Guillermo’s friendliness, warmth and interest.

I hope we meet again.
