Dubai Creek is a location in the city where a common pedestrian will see scenes that appear to be frozen in time. Back in the 20th century this place became one of the most important trading ports for dhows coming from countries like India, Iran and East Africa among others. Nowadays, this tradition of trading and commerce still remains. However, it has been slowly disappearing due to the technological advancements Dubai has achieved this past decade.
Streets of Stories is an on going project. Living in Dubai has been a contrasty experience. Before coming here I just knew about the extreme wealth and luxury of the city. However, Dubai is a city full of hard working people with lots of history, tradition, and culture. After seeing all these things I stepped away from all the luxury and started to document the people who enjoy the simplicity some of us do not see in life.

After being out of my city for almost five years I decided to go back and capture the everyday moments I personally missed while living abroad. Here I wanted to document the contrast between the rush of an eight million people city with the authenticity and inocence Colombian´s live their everyday lives.

After living five years in Minneapolis and having the same routine almost every day, I have decided to get out there and explore the city a little bit more in depth. I capture images of people on the streets. People who will probably never be famous or heard by news media organizations, but who also have a story to tell. In my photographs I look for actions, and expressions that people do every day, but are probably not aware off.
