While walking on SoCo(South Congress Avenue) there are billions of things that I met .This street is amazing ,starting from the Colorado river to The Capitol of Texas , it’s littered of many things such as motels, restaurants, food trucks, markets , bus stops and so on (…). Instead of cross it by car, I decide to walk on it . This walk has been very productive for my inspiration; in fact it allows me to visit the street in every nook and cranny. I start my my visit with with a clear idea in mind “photographing passers in the street “ but my attention was quickly deported on other things.
The first thing that I noticed was the nature , in fact while visting SoCo I noticed a lot of trees , this represent for me the symbol of life . By life I mean the link between the sky (branches) , the earth (trunk )and the underworld (deeps roots). But also I have been attracted by the panels in the street they are sharing messages, guiding populations, and showing things. Another interesting thing was the bus stops; they emit a feeling of waiting, waiting for the next bus, waiting for the bus we have just missed. And on my back way I met a mail box with a little smile on it in this smile reflects hopes , hopes of receiving good news but also the reflect of fears , fears to have deceptions passing by anguishes.
At all this street trip have been very productive for my personal blossoming.
