Cuarentena total obligatoria by Alfredo J. Martiz J.

Posted on 2020-03-26

Jamás pensó que llegaría el día en el que un número determinara a qué hora del día podría salir y que su tiempo en el exterior tendría caducidad.

Observa al horizonte y evalúa sus opciones, con nostalgia recuerda sus recorridos por la ciudad, nunca pensó que aquellos momentos tendrían tanta relevancia.

A la distancia escucha la voz de un desesperado hombre, agotado por el encierro. Quizás su único momento de paz lo tenga al ser ingresado en una celda por violar la orden del toque de queda.

Quizás finalmente descanse del escándalo familiar.

Never thought the day would come when a number would determine what time he could leave and must return. Nostalgically remember your tours of the city, never thought that those moments would be so relevant.

In the distance he hears the voice of a desperate man, exhausted by confinement. Perhaps his only moment of peace is when he is entered into a cell for violating the curfew.

Mr. Teodoro has been living in a small space in a building at the Victoriano Lorenzo Street in Casco Viejo, Panama. He used to live in a smaller space in a building in front of his current home, but that building was demolished to give way to the construction of a new project.

Colón is one of the places where you can still see this type of buses driving around the city. The recent investments in public transportation in Panama City represented the extinction of these buses, generally called 'Diablos Rojos' (Red Devils).

A Room with a View (III) by Alfredo J. Martiz J.

Part of a series of photos I made at home, exploring with the atmospheric effect of light and shadows and their interplay with architectural components and surrounding spaces.

We used to live in an apartment in the center of Panama City, but since the end of 2012 we moved to a wooden house in a place known as Diablo Heights, close to the Balboa Port. Being an architect, and having an interest in the perception of space in different projects, living in this house has been a very special.

This man used to be a photographer, he told me when I asked him if I could photograph him. With a Colombian accent he told me he is known as Guillermo everywhere with the exception of Mexico where he is known as Juan. After making his portrait he asked me "when is the photo coming out?", I showed him the photo from the camera display and he laughed. Before leaving he asked me for some cash to feed his "children, woman and virtual women"

This is probably the coolest cat we've ever met, we don't know his name but to us he is Miau. Sometimes this dude likes to sleep on top of our car or on top of our washing machine.

Deaths from Alzheimer's increased 68 percent between 2000 and 2010, while deaths from other major diseases, including the number one cause of death (heart disease), decreased."
