0.000 HBDWhen the muse ignores you / Monomad Challenge [Eng/Esp]
What's up folks, how was your weekend?
I confess that there are days when my camera and I take to the streets in search of a photograph. But my muse -that treacherous one- sometimes plays dirty tricks on me: she hides, mocks my attempts and leaves me walking in circles like a soul in pain. And yes, in the end I end up exhausted and in a bad mood.
________
The photos 📸 are my entry to the #monomad contest from @monochromes and @brumest.

📸 *A pharmacy with a future/ Una farmacia con futuro.*
Until, suddenly, something calls me. Something unexpected, something that was not in my mental script, a shadow that says: "You really don't see me?". And there, when I had already lost faith, calmness gives me its secret: My muse.
Well... let's say that sometimes the muse hides where you least look for her. Even behind a glass.

____________
From this point on, everything starts to flow. Inspiration comes, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. Those everyday objects that before went unnoticed, now have a meaning for me, then I see the incredible details in the cathedrals, images of mysterious beings, gargoyles, a whole ornamentation on the facade in addition to the main one that arouses my curiosity.

In Cuba, bus transportation is an adventure. Between the crowds and the unforgiving heat, that's where you see the real faces of the people. Today I came across three that left me thinking...

And as always classic cars are part of my photographic repertoire, sometimes I wonder why I follow them so much, I could not give an answer, just that I love them.
____________
Well then, dear friends, we are still here looking for street stories, with or without a muse; in any case, experience tells me that she appears at any time and place, you just have to be in action. I say goodbye thanking you for taking the time to read me and, if you have any comments, I'll be very happy to answer. See you soon.

¿Qué tal, amigos? ¿Cómo les ha ido el fin de semana?
Les confieso que hay días en los que mi cámara y yo salimos a la calle en busca de una fotografía. Pero mi musa —esa traicionera— a veces me juega sucio: se esconde, se burla de mis intentos y me deja caminando en círculos como alma en pena. Y sí, al final termino exhausto y de mal humor.
Hasta que, de pronto, algo me llama. Algo inesperado, algo que no estaba en mi guion mental, una sombra que dice: "¿En serio no me ves?". Y ahí, cuando ya había perdido la fe, la calma me regala su secreto: Mi musa.
Bueno… digamos que a veces la musa se esconde donde menos la buscas. Incluso detrás de un cristal.
A partir de este punto, todo comienza a fluir. La inspiración llega, transformando lo ordinario en extraordinario. Esos objetos cotidianos que antes pasaban desapercibido, ahora tienen para mi un significado, entonces veo los increíbles detalles en las catedrales, imágenes de seres misteriosos, gárgolas, toda una ornamentación en la fachada además de la principal que despierta mi curiosidad.
En Cuba, el transporte en autobús es toda una aventura. Entre apretujones y el calor que no perdona, ahí es donde se ven las caras más reales de la gente. Hoy me crucé con tres que me dejaron pensando…
Y como siempre los autos clásicos forman parte de mi repertorio fotográfico, a veces me cuestiono porque los sigo tanto, no sabría dar una respuesta, solo que me encantan.
Pues entonces, queridos amigos, seguimos aquí buscando historias callejeras, con o sin musa; de todas formas, la experiencia me dice que ella aparece en cualquier momento y lugar, solo hay que estar en acción. Me despido agradeciendo el tiempo que dedican a leerme y, si tienen algún comentario, estaré muy feliz de responder. Hasta pronto.
