# LIMA STREET DIARIES: SACRIFICE AND THE RHYTHM OF THE BUS / SACRIFICIO Y EL RITMO DEL BUS [ENG-ESP] ### Urban Photography / Fotografía Urbana ![_DSC2207.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cabzphoto/23zbRcbKmuQ9svbnci7tyFCPmxX8am4HQmhEwpFHPuPDUmP4KobNw2pDmQ9EgTt8dHJDv.jpg) *“Long days, late classes, and the art of capturing life in motion.”* *“Días largos, clases hasta tarde y el arte de capturar la vida en movimiento.”* ![linea separadora hive.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cabzphoto/23u5LMZycR2ks1nWRqsVWJkcVyTpYcmV9JKkGrKrTj1mTsSwXWn33PjZ99nQYGWJQaLRV.png)

### English Good night, friends of the Black and White community! Here I am, sitting with Kora by my side—well, she's snoring away! I’ve just returned from class; studying until 11 PM is exhausting. I’ve even had to stop playing soccer, but as they say, every sacrifice has its reward. Today, I bring you more of the same—*micros*, buses, or whatever you call them in your country. I start with a close-up of an older adult grabbing the handles like Spider-Man amidst the speed, followed by a wide shot showing how he leans and curls his body despite his age. Then, the bus conductor in two facets: the reckless "headless man" with half his body hanging out at high speed calling for passengers, and the classic collector handing out tickets with the legendary phrase: "Keep your ticket." Fate brought me back to an older man I had photographed before; it’s amazing how the street reconnects us. I also captured the typical young person lost in social media, TikToks, and whatever else disconnects us from the brutal journey home. I love finding geometry in the chaos, like the inverted triangle formed by bodies that perfectly frames a subject. Finally, I close with a portrait showing the seriousness of a person, their piercings, and the blurred environment of cell phones and empty stares. I hope you enjoy this beautiful day of photography. Good vibes and energy to everyone! ### Español ¡Buenas noches, amigos de la comunidad en Blanco y Negro! Acá sentado con Kora a mi lado —bueno, ella roncando—. Regresando de clases; estudiar hasta las 11 p. m. es agotador, he tenido que dejar de jugar fútbol, pero como se dice: todo sacrificio tiene su recompensa. Bueno, acá un poco de lo mismo: micros, buses, o como los llamen en su país. Empiezo con una foto que me encantó: el primer plano de un adulto buscando, cual Spider-Man, los pasamanos en medio de la velocidad, y luego un plano abierto de cómo logra cogerse y encorvarse a pesar de la edad. Luego, el cobrador en dos facetas: la temeraria, el "hombre sin cabeza" con medio cuerpo fuera del bus a toda velocidad llamando pasajeros; y la otra, cobrando con los famosos boletos y la frase clásica: "Conserve su boleto". También me encontré con un señor de edad que me encantó; ya había subido una foto de él con anterioridad, el destino nos volvió a juntar. Siempre está el chico perdido en el mundo de las redes sociales, TikToks y demás, que a veces te desconecta del brutal viaje a casa. Me encanta cuando los cuerpos crean un triángulo invertido y dan un encuadre perfecto al sujeto. Termino con un retrato donde me gustó la seriedad de la persona, sus accesorios y el entorno de celulares desenfocados con miradas al vacío. Esto fue mi hermoso día, espero les agrade. ¡Muchas vibras y energías para todos! > **¡Kachkaniraqmi!** — *(Quechua: Until we meet again)*
