This photograph was taken by my friend Nicolás Tapia Yañez. It was taken in July 2016 and was awarded in May 2017 with the first national place of the "Sexto Concurso de Fotografía del Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial "Captura tu Entorno" del Consejo Nacional de la Cultura y las Artes.
Its the material sample ofa whole life of sacrifice and effort of any family, whose faces can not be distinguished and it is very representative of the place where I come from. Here you can see two people who are carrying a jar of goat milk, in any house, from any place in the province of Choapa. This photograph also reflects the hard life of the peasant farmer, who works every day to be able to rise. This journey made between the place where the goats are milked and their house is done every day, all year round, by many people who subsist by this means. This work results in the production of goat milk cheese that is sold to the merchants of the cities at a very low price. This practice was very common in the area but it is already being lost.
It's a really great photograph, I totally agree with the first place award and it represents the effort -as you said- by itself, I can see it at the first sight. Wow are you from the fourth region?
ResponderEliminarIt is a very good photograph, especially for the message behind. I value much the work of the farmers, since my grandmother is a peasant but despite the difficulties I know that she loves her job, loves the land and her animals and I know she is happier there than in the city.
ResponderEliminarPD: she plants corn and quinoa :).
OMG it's amazing what the photo reflects, that effort that makes each town can support its family <3
