Today I'm back with a new set of street photographs that I took around the city of San Cristobal, in Tachira, Venezuela.
The first photos I'll show you were taken in a busy area of the city. I parked my car in a safe place and started walking around looking for interesting things to photograph...
The first thing I saw was a man checking his car engine, apparently it had some kind of failure and wouldn't start:
I saw a boy doing stunts with his bicycle in the middle of the street. What I like most about this photo is that there's another bicycle in the background:
I kept walking and saw a hot dog stand. Here in Venezuela it's a very popular business since it's a very cheap option for people:
I saw this store and it seemed very pretty to me, so I took a photo of it:
The next photo is of a worker. What made me take this photo was that the truck was almost empty...
I kept walking and arrived at this very well-known street in my city. It's almost "the heart" of the city and I liked how it looked at that moment:
I looked to the side and took the following photo. I liked that it looks quite full of life and quite urban:
This part of the city is very busy, so I wanted to capture that in the photo. I like seeing the city so full of people.
After taking the previous photos, I decided to go to another part of the city to look for variety in the photos. I was accompanied by a friend, so he was driving and I took the opportunity to take some photos along the way...
In the first two photos I took, I liked the lighting of the scene. They almost look like they're from a movie:
Typical Venezuelan kiosk where they sell everything. In this one they sell a small pizza + drink for $1.50:
In Venezuela we have problems getting gasoline, so it's very common to see people taking gasoline out of their cars to store it or even to sell it:
On another side of the city I saw a couple of old cars:
The next photo was a failed shot but I liked it:
The next photo is called "The World of Liquor" and all those people you see there are university students celebrating their last year of study. In Venezuela it's common for them to do something called "viernes de promo" (promo Fridays) and literally every Friday they go out to drink liquor...
I hope these photographs have offered you a glimpse into life in this city in Venezuela and I hope you liked these photos as much as I did!

Wow… there’s something timeless about this. A reminder that beauty and mystery are still walking beside us, even when the world feels mechanical.
