Sants, centro de vida

Es muy probable que el geriátrico sea el último hogar de una persona, su último refugio, su postrera vivienda, de ahí la facilidad de confundir estos centros en salas de espera, en cuevas de pena, en recintos de tristeza.
Muchos de los reportajes que se han realizado sobre geriátricos se centran en esta dimensión o bien muestran casos de abusos o negligencias hacia los ancianos.
Hay otra realidad mucho más común aunque quizás menos publicitada, que gira en torno a la vida que se crea en los geriátricos, a los nuevos amigos y los nuevos romances que aparecen, a las partidas de cartas o de domino, a las conversaciones entre ancianos, a los abrazos o lloros entre compañeros, a las historias que cada abuelo guarda en su memoria, a sus ganas de estar y de compartir.
Es una mirada de alegría, una instantánea de esperanza, es enfocar la cantidad de vida que se genera en un geriátrico.

It is a great idea to see these places from a positive point of view.
Anyway, I still find sadness in these photographs, despite the fact that they look happy and busy, they seem to me alone in the middle of an inhospitable place. It must be my thing, that I feel bad just thinking about these things.

Errede, Your point of view does not seem bad to me, what's more, I think I'm glad that my photos offer different perspectives. The sight of each spectator, in the end enriches the images. All opinions are welcome.

In terms of composition, meticulousness in the details (both in the light, placing the cane exactly at its point, the detail of the flower vase, etc.) and total control over the scene seems perfect, but that is precisely what which I find that contradicts the introductory text.
the fact that the scenes are so well prepared takes away the spontaneity that I imagine the photos must have when reading the text.
taking the grandparents out of context (using such a flat light and moving them away from the common objects that must be in the place) seem more like advertising images.
in short ... what I am referring to is that I cannot find a relationship between the description of the project and the photos.
... eemmmmm ... it's a constructive criticism, I hope you don't take it the wrong way or that it offends you ^ _ ^
