Digicam, Analog: Retro But Current

22 PHOTOGRAPHS
The move from analog to digital is a transition between ritual and precision. By leaving the reel, we lost the physical texture of the grain and the "mandatory" patience of developing, but we gained the freedom to capture the invisible and an almost infinite technical capacity. In digital we gain absolute control; In analogue, we preserve the soul of the unpredictable.

Behind the Castle

I took this snapshot behind the Parque Rodó castle, located in the city of Montevideo, or rather, the María Stagnero de Munar Library.

Montevideo's Southern Promenade

The Rambla Sur of Montevideo is an emblematic work that began at the beginning of the 20th century as part of an ambitious urban modernization plan. Its official construction began in 1923, under the direction of engineer Eugenio Baroffio. The first phase, completed in 1935, included the creation of a retaining wall and a pedestrian promenade that extends from Parque Rodó to Plaza Virgilio. This promenade has played a crucial role in protecting the city from flooding and has provided valuable recreational space along the Montevideo coast. This photo was captured with a 2012 Canon Powershot A2500 camera, highlighting the beauty and functionality of this historic structure.
