This photo exhibit is amazing, because I've always thought about all those trades and customs that disappear over time... The photo of the woman pounding the bread to remove the burnt crust brought to mind my grandmother when she would "scrape the arepas" (a kind of traditional corn cake we cook here) back in the days when that was done with firewood and the corn dough was handmade, not bought at the market... These kinds of images are lovely, but they also make us aware of how these customs are fading away 🙁... Thank you so much for sharing this, my friend. I send you my best wishes always...
Yes, these customs are fading away, because life is changing so much. Imagine back in our grandparents' days, a good part of people were mostly self sufficient, doing most of the things themselves.
Those days will never come back. There are people who choose to still live that life, but are just a handful.
Sorry for the late reply and thank you for the wishes, I wish you a lovely weekend my friend!
