Hello black and white and street photography lovers. After some time of absence in the community I return with new proposals and renewed energy. Not new new, but different. These shots reflect a small portion of daily life in the city, specifically Havana. In this city, as in most cities and towns in this country, there are always people on the street, and usually solving critical problems due to the current economic situation. However, for as long as I can remember I have always seen many people on the streets talking, hanging out, waiting in lines, having a drink, solving things and not exactly working. It has been commonplace in Cuba for a long time. Sometimes I ask myself, and I also include myself, what time do people work here? It's a mystery really.
It's different now because a lot of people work on the phone while they are anywhere. Twenty years ago it wasn't like that and there were also many people on the street. It's a tradition here, Cubans like human contact, socializing closely, talking in groups. Unfortunately, nowadays most of the people are in the streets making long lines to buy everything they need, food, fuel, paperwork and many other things. With these images I want to enter the daily challenge #monomad. See you!
