03 Nov 11 - Welcome to El Rayo Que No Cesa (The Ray That Don't Cease), the pool is "heavily curated", only our personal take of very high quality street photography and related genres (family, portrait, new topographics, etc.) with a global focus. Of course, it's only the admins' vision, dont take it personal and PLEASE don't post again the same picture, unless solicited.

Bienvenidos al Rayo que no cesa, el mural es curado estrictamente, sólo nuestra version de la más alta calidad en fotografía de calle...

About \\\ El Rayo Que No Cesa ///

(In English below)

El nombre de este grupo es tomado del libro del poeta Miguel Hernández (1910-1942), publicado en 1936. Lo uso como una metáfora de la pasión fotográfica que nos consume. He aquí algunos ejemplos:

Este rayo ni cesa ni se agota:
de mí mismo tomó su procedencia
y ejercita en mí mismo sus furores.


y también:

Sigue, pues, sigue cuchillo,
volando, hiriendo. Algún día
se pondrá el tiempo amarillo
sobre mi fotografía.


Pero la definición de fotografía callejera está en otro libro (Cancionero...):


Por las calles voy dejando
algo que voy recogiendo:
pedazos de vida mía
venidos desde muy lejos.


WOW

The name of this group is taken from the book of the poet Miguel Hernández (1910-1942), published in 1936. I use it like a metaphor of the photographic passion that consumes us. Here some examples on his writing (forgive my free translation):

This ray neither ceases nor exhausts:
it originates in myself
and on myself exerts its fury.


and also:

Go on, yes, go on, knife,
flying, hurting. Some day
the time will become yellow
over my photography.


But the definition of street photography is in another book (Cancionero...):


Through the streets I'm dropping
something that I am picking up:
pieces of my own life,
that come from very far away.



WOW
