“Whoever said money can't buy happiness simply didn't know where to go shopping.”
Gertrude Stein
Shopping
There is no doubt that one of the great pleasures of contemporary life is shopping. There are even those who claim that it is a therapeutic activity, although it is not recommended for the pocket.
The boom of shopping malls in the last decades of the last century allowed people to have a place where stores of all kinds, food stores, cinemas and other recreational activities converged, all under the same roof and without the need to travel long distances to satisfy all tastes and budgets.
These photos correspond to a well-known shopping mall located a short distance from home, which, like many people, I go to frequently even when I do not plan to buy something, simply to distract myself.
As I have described in previous posts, I process the original photographs using the editing tools offered in their free versions by the applications Picsart and Snapseed.
Es indudable que uno de los grandes placeres de la vida contemporánea, es el salir de compras. Incluso, hay quienes aseguran que es una actividad terapéutica, aunque poco recomendable para el bolsillo.
El auge de centros comerciales en las últimas décadas del siglo pasado, permitió que las personas contaran con un lugar donde convergieran tiendas de todo tipo, locales de comida, cines y otras actividades recreativas, todo bajo un mismo techo y sin la necesidad de desplazarse grandes distancias para complacer todos los gustos y presupuestos.
Estas fotos corresponden a un reconocido centro comercial ubicado a corta distancia de casa, al cual, como muchas personas, suelo acudir frecuentemente aún cuando no tenga pensado comprar algo, simplemente para distraerme.
Como he descrito en posts anteriores, las fotografías originales las proceso haciendo uso de las herramientas de edición que ofrecen en sus versiones gratuitas las aplicaciones Picsart y Snapseed.
All the Photos are of my Authorship, as well as the Edition of the same ones.
