Hello friends, I hope you're having a beautiful day. I'm so happy to be participating again in the Reflection Hunters Contest. Today, I’m entering with a photo from my personal archive, taken during the years when COVID was at its harshest.
Hola amigos, espero que estén teniendo un muy lindo día, qué alegría volver a participar en Reflection Hunters Contest. Hoy estaré participando con una foto de mi archivo personal, tomada durante los años en que el COVID fue más duro.
This photograph is free to use, as I uploaded it to several stock agencies during that time and it has been featured in various articles. It was originally taken in color, but I’m the only one who holds the original—the black and white version is the public one, and also my favorite. It captures a moment when face masks were part of daily attire: in a shop window, a mannequin wearing a mask gazes out at the street and the passersby. The urban background merges with the reflection on the glass, as if contemplating a melancholic, desolate scene. It conveys isolation and silent observation.
Esta fotografía es de uso libre, ya que la subí a varias agencias de stock durante esa época y ha sido usada en varios artículos. Es una fotografía tomada a color, pero el original solo lo tengo yo; esta versión en blanco y negro es la pública y también mi favorita. Capta un instante donde el cubrebocas era parte de la vestimenta diaria: en un escaparate de una tienda, un maniquí con cubrebocas mira a la calle y a los transeúntes. El fondo urbano se une al reflejo del cristal del escaparate, como contemplando el escenario triste, melancólico y desolado. Transmite aislamiento y observación silenciosa.
It’s a moment from an ordinary scene, captured like one might capture a ghost—making you question what you see and what remains hidden. Thank you, friends, for staying with me until the end, and for allowing me to share and show what I consider one of my best photographs. Sending you a big hug and, as always, wishing you all the luck and success in the world. Bye!
Es un instante de una escena común, capturada como quien captura un fantasma, que te hace cuestionar lo que ves y lo que está oculto. Gracias amigos por llegar hasta aquí, y por permitirme contarles y mostrarles lo que considero una de mis mejores fotografías. Un gran saludo y, como siempre, toda la suerte y éxito del mundo. ¡Chau!
