Today I bring you a set of very varied street photographs that range from people and urban landscapes to places, my idea with these photos is to show you the city where I live called San Cristobal located in the State of Tachira, Venezuela.
Law agents: For obvious reasons I don't usually take photos of these people, some can be very problematic, but I was able to take these photos from my car without being seen by them.
Cityscapes: i Photographed a church, a residential building, a school, a square and a park. I wanted to show them to you so I could give you a "glance" at our places.
Food stores: These stores in Venezuela are known as "bodegas" and it is common to see many of them near residential areas. I can tell you that these "bodegas" were the ones that helped many people have meals in their homes during the time of crisis and shortage in 2016 when food was not available in supermarkets. People bought the food in Colombia and sold it in these bodegas.
People:
Some people have told me that my photos of the city look "empty of people" and they think the city is desolate or something like that... But no! The truth is that many times I am the one who waits that there are no people in the scene so I can capture the photo of the city landscape.
But in these photos I want to show you that there are still people here and that the city is not desolate.
I am a self-taught street photographer who has been practicing this genre for years. I am inspired by the streets of my city, but I also like to travel and discover new places. For me, street photography is a way to connect with the world around me and share my vision with others.

I have never been to San Cristóbal, but without a doubt it is a place on my list just like the city of Mérida, you will never be a complete Venezuelan until you know these cities and their people... Thanks for sharing, I loved all your photos, how can I teach more about street photography?

While you say that you've taken these photographs from a car, they seem more professional. You are a photographer with creative sense. Well done.

That's really cool man.
Hustle doesn't know anything about photography, and is notorious for taking terrible pictures, but can really appreciate great photos.
Its strange how people are able to capture moments in time like that.
The church photo is wild.
