Today, I want to share a new set of street photographs, in which I seek to show you a little more of the day to day life of what it's like to live in a Venezuelan city like mine.
I will start by showing you these photographs that address the topic of gasoline. Many of you may have read in the news that Venezuela has a bit of a scarcity regarding this resource, and the truth is that sometimes we have queues to fill up, and sometimes we don't. It's quite uncertain, but it is still obtained, either by waiting in long lines at service stations or by buying liters from resellers in the city.
Having explained that, these photographs now have context. It is very common to see people siphoning gasoline from their cars to store or sell it:
It is also very common to see people on the roads with a soda bottle, and what that means is that they are selling gasoline:
The next photography is of a taxi driver who bought gasoline from a reseller:
The next photography is of a woman who sells gasoline as a method of subsistence, the photography is more impactful due to the fact that she is with her two daughters:
Something else that is very common to see in my city are the street vendors. They can sell anything as long as they can bring some money home.
The next photography is of a man selling buckets:
Or this man who sells ice cream. This job is difficult because in my city we have very steep hills, and the man must push the cart all over the city:
The next photography is of a man selling coffee and tea throughout the city:
The next photography is of a slightly more elaborate, but surprisingly clever, entrepreneurial effort, a man adapted a motorcycle to pull a small cart in which he sells fruits and vegetables throughout the city:
And finally, two street photographs of two spontaneous moments, first, a woman sitting on the sidewalk talking to another person:
And a motorcyclist who was using his bike to carry things. I saw how they fell to the ground, and another man approached to help him tie down his load, so I approached to take this photography:
I hope you found all these photographs and their stories as interesting as I did, and thank you for everything!
