Moments in BNW, Plaza Houssay, Buenos Aires.

I like that title, there are always moments to capture, anywhere in every second something is happening, it may or may not be important but there it is. That is why I always or most of the time carry my camera with me, when I have a few minutes free I take the opportunity to take some shots. Now that I think about it, it could be a risk to do this since I leave my house at 4 am and the streets are not very safe in the early morning... but sometimes you have to take those risks!

Only 15 minutes... while traveling on the subway I decided to get off several stations early and capture some moments in Plaza Houssay in Buenos Aires. Luckily I had the 70-300mm with me, ideal for this very limited time.

This is my favorite set photo without a doubt. I love the scene of a person sitting on a bench, in this case this gentleman stands out with his clothes and his expressions.

Maybe a nice walk with the dogs? I believe this lady is providing this service. There are many dog ​​walkers in the city and there are always more than 5 with them, although here there seems to be only 4 😅

I really like this shot. I was hesitant to share because it's not very well focused but I love that smile on her face.

This young man walks through the square towards the avenue and in the background you can see the school of economic sciences of the University of Buenos Aires (UBA).

Upper part of the façade of the faculty... How many details and reliefs can we see in this building? I think more constructions in styles like these would be necessary.

My admiration for those elderly people who, despite this, are on the streets, in the markets, shopping and even exercising.

Did I mention before that I love taking photos of people sitting on benches? 😂

Perhaps this square is a good place to take a break, chat with a friend and clear your mind.

A gentleman waiting for the arrival of transport while listening to music, phone in hand and yet seems to be focused on something else.

A general view of the residential buildings in the area.

Most of these people are usually parents who take their children to a playground in this area, I have been there too 😊

Just a parked bike... Yes, more bikes.

Do you have any favorites from this street photography set? What is it and why? :)

Why is it not safe in the morning?

There aren't many people and it's still dark. Although there are also thieves during the day, in the dark they are worse and even more so carrying a camera.

I see. The place is not safe when it's dark. 😊

Exactly! That's why it's a risk, I've been lucky so far 😅

I would say you're brave enough to risk.😄😄

Well... It's risking having my equipment stolen. They are not safe areas

Is the place safe during daylight?

Thanks for the support @qurator and @brumest Appreciate it 🙂

Hey, I really like the way you perceive your surroundings, that detailed and meticulous look at things, I love your work, greetings....

Thanks so much for your kind words @gabrielacarrasco friend!

I share that opinion that there are always moments to capture, for some they may not be that interesting, but with the right perspective photography can have great power. For me the first one is perfect, I feel it conveys different emotions depending on how you interpret it. Beautiful street photography my friend!

The first one is definitely my favorite, I really like that shot and what it can convey to the viewer. Thank you for appreciating this set in this way @naitreart friend!

Me encantó, aunque en el momento en el que estamos, algunas de esas fotos se sienten tristes y más en blanco y negro, pero ogualmente disfruté tu post... Mas arriesgandote a salir muy temprano, pero valió la pena oara capturar esos momentos y esas increíbles fotografías.
