In a way, using my phone to take photos reignited my love for street photography. Since I was more aware of capturing moments, I started noticing more scenes everywhere. But it's definitely not the same as using a professional camera. The images from a camera are more true to life, and that's exactly what I was missing. So, I grabbed my camera Canon RP and headed out to capture the urban life.

By definition, something urban is everything related to a city. So, I focused on just that: people, transportation, shops, and everyday life.

In this next photo, you can see a lot going on at once: a house that's been turned into a grocery store, two people shopping, public transportation, and a ladder.

The ladder was there because someone was working on the roof. There was definitely a lot happening in that spot.

Speaking of workers, I took the next two photos of two guys working. Even though they were both working in the same place, each photo tells a different story.

This first photo shows the overall context:

But this one is my favorite. I love the textures in this shot. The more you look, the more tools you discover.

I took the next photo because I liked the repeating pattern of the shadow on the building:

in Venezuela, because of the hot weather, it's common to see people hanging clothes out of their windows:

Churches are always iconic. Each one has unique features. This one is known as the "Angel Church" for obvious reasons:

After photographing that church, I went to another one nearby that I really like because of its urban style. When I got there, I took this photo:

And I saw two homeless people sleeping under the church's roof. I wanted to photograph them because the way they were covered made them look lifeless, but they were just asleep.

Then I went to one of the city's main squares, a popular meeting spot. To my surprise, it was almost empty, and I saw another homeless sleeping on one of the benches:

Reflecting on the photos of the homeless people, I think I took them because it's not something we see very often in my city.

I kept walking and looking for new urban subjects to photograph. What's more urban than a typical kiosk?

Or a taxi stand, Strangely, this one was empty. I don't know if they still work there.

Public transportation:

Street vendors selling fruit on a corner:

Another kiosk in a different part of the city. The vendor noticed me taking the photo:

I saw these payphones and wanted to take a photo using leading lines. Unfortunately, none of them work.

Finally, here's a photo of two people walking. What I love most about this city is the combination of urban and natural elements. Wherever I look, I can always find trees and mountains. It's a beautiful city.

I hope you enjoyed this glimpse into life in a Venezuelan city
