[ENG] I am again grateful to be part of “We, The People” calendar. This year’s selection is one of the photographs I took of Lundi, a Bayaka pygmy girl, during a hunting expedition. This is a very emotional photo for me, for I spent some of the most unforgettable weeks of my life living in the equatorial rainforest with these extraordinary people. Without knowing, they’ve taught me lessons far beyond anything I could’ve learned from books and academic life. Unfortunately, the Bayaka (as pretty much every other tribal and ethnic group in Africa) are endangered by mounting pressure from logging companies, conservationists, widespread poaching and more. For years, I have been supporting for the immeasurable work they do to protect them and the most neglected ethnic groups that are still lucky to be around. Every day they are active, is one more day that Lundi and her people get to live an preserve their environment and their dignity.

[ESP] Una vez más Me siento agradecido por formar parte del calendario "Nosotros, el Pueblo" de Survival International. La selección de este año es una de las fotografías que tomé de Lundi, una niña pigmea Bayaka, durante una expedición de caza. Es una foto muy emotiva para mí, pues pasé algunas de las semanas más inolvidables de mi vida viviendo en la selva ecuatorial con estas personas extraordinarias. Sin saberlo, me han enseñado lecciones mucho más allá de todo lo que podría haber aprendido de los libros y la vida académica. Desafortunadamente, los Bayaka (como prácticamente todos los demás grupos tribales y étnicos de África) están en peligro por la creciente presión de las empresas madereras, los conservacionistas, la caza furtiva generalizada y otros factores. Durante años, he apoyado a Survival International por la inconmensurable labor que realizan para protegerlos a ellos y a los grupos étnicos más desatendidos que aún tienen la suerte de seguir existiendo. Cada día que están activos, es un día más que Lundi y su pueblo pueden vivir y preservar su entorno y su dignidad.

[ENG] Praying and meditation are an intrinsic part of life in Tibet. Whether you are in a monastery, in a city or in the intimacy of a home, you see Tibetans devoting significant parts of their days to contemplation and working with the mind. For me, they’ve always been a massive inspiration. I’ve been practicing meditation and studying Tibetan Buddhist philosophy for almost 30 years now, and I keep coming back to these images. They make me feel at ease and grounded. They remind me of the power that comes from discpline, commitment, perseverance, and devotion.
.
[ESP] El rezo y la meditación son parte intrínseca de la vida en el Tíbet. Ya sea en un monasterio, en una ciudad o en la intimidad de un hogar, verás a tibetanos dedicando gran parte de su día a la contemplación y el trabajo con la mente. Para mí, siempre han sido una gran inspiración. Llevo casi 30 años practicando meditación y estudiando filosofía budista tibetana, y sigo volviendo a estas imágenes. Me hacen sentir tranquilo y con los pies en la tierra. Me recuerdan el poder que surge de la disciplina, el compromiso, la perseverancia y la devoción.

[ENG] While cycling across the rural areas of Yunnan Province, a region inhabited by many of China’s ethnic minorities, I came across this wooden shack surrounded by lush vegetation in Bulang territory. It must’ve been like 36 C and suffocating humidity so I needed to take a break. Not too long after I stopped, the grandmother of these siblings beckoned me to come in. The house with little openings was much cooler than outside and through the cracks the harsh sun filtered through to create this magical lighting. The kids wouldn’t stop running around me and as it is usually the case, the little one would copy everything his older brother do. Regardless, I spent a couple of hours with them, eating watermelon and chatting with their granny, who was as caring as my own.
.
[ESP] Mientras pedaleaba las zonas rurales de la provincia de Yunnan, una región habitada por muchas minorías étnicas de China, me encontré con una cabaña de madera rodeada de exuberante vegetación en territorio Bulang. Debían hacer unos 36 °C y una humedad sofocante, así que necesitaba un descanso. Poco después de parar, la abuela de estos hermanos me hizo señas para que entrara. La cabañita con sus pequeñas aberturas, era mucho más fresca que el exterior y, a través de las rendijas, se filtraba el sol intenso, creando una iluminación mágica. Los niños no paragon de dar vueltas a mi alrededor y, como suele ocurrir, el pequeño copiaba todo lo que hacía su hermano mayor. Aun así, pasé un par de horas con ellos, comiendo sandía y charlando con su abuela, que era tan cariñosa como las mías.

[ENG] The Kingdom of Lesotho is in my opinion one of the treasures of Southern Africa. A speck of land raised at an average of 3000 m baasting some of the wildest terrains you could ever face on a bicycle. A land of lonely shepherds living in villages nestled in between the mountains. Along those endless days of pushing on rocky roads I came across these two little Basotho siblings on their donkey a few kilometres away from their village. They gave me a suspicious look as I sat on my bicycle catching my breath. The little one peeked from behind his elder brother’s back, as if seeking protection behind him. Their penetrating looks prevailed for a while until finally loosening up. They revealed the resilient character and tough spirit of the Basotho, who endure life in very harsh conditions.
.
.
[ESP] El Reino de Lesoto es, en mi opinión, uno de los tesoros del sur de África. Un trocito de tierra elevado a una altitud media de 3000 m que alberga algunos de los terrenos más salvajes que jamás podrías afrontar en bicicleta. Una tierra de pastores solitarios que viven en aldeas enclavadas entre las montañas. Durante esos interminables días de empujar por caminos rocosos, me encontré con estos dos pequeños hermanos basotho en su burro a pocos kilómetros de su aldea. Me miraron con sospecha mientras yo, sentado en mi bicicleta, recuperaba el aliento. El pequeño se asomó por detrás de la espalda de su hermano mayor, como buscando protección tras él. Sus miradas penetrantes prevalecieron un rato hasta que finalmente se ablandaron. Revelaban el carácter resiliente y el espíritu duro de los basotho, que soportan la vida en condiciones muy duras.
[ENG] While I was living in China, I used to jumped at every opportunity I had to leave the architecture office, and go cycling across remote parts of the country. One of my projects took me to Xishuangbanna, where I rented a bike to set off to explore the tribal regions. Before departure, while I was out for food at the local market, I met these siblings from the Bulang ethnic minority. These images show a little bit of the behind the scenes and how it is usually not so straight forward to capture a beautiful portrait. It takes time, and patience until things align correctly. Especially when kids are involved. But it’s worth the wait:)

[ESP] Cuando vivía en China, aprovechaba cualquier oportunidad para dejar el estudio de arquitectura y recorrer en bicicleta zonas remotas del país. Uno de mis proyectos me llevó a Xishuangbanna, donde alquilé una bicicleta para explorar las regiones tribales. Antes de partir, mientras compraba comida en el mercado local, conocí a estos hermanitos de la minoría étnica Bulang. Estas imágenes muestran un poco del proceso y lo difícil que suele ser capturar un retrato bonito. Se necesita tiempo y paciencia hasta que los elementos se alinien, sobre todo cuando hay niños de por medio. Pero la espera merece la pena:)

[ENG] In the next few posts I'll be sharing photos of siblings that I captured along my cycling journeys around the world. These are Pema and Tenzin. They were 8 and 10 years old respectively and grew up in a valley on the Tibetan Plateau at around 3800m high. Even at such early age, the harsh environment of Tibet has already been etched on their faces and hands. Regardless, they would run around like crazy, laughing and playing before settling for this portrait. The love they showed for each other truly moved me.
.
[ESP] En las próximas publicaciones compartiré fotos de hermanos/as que capturé en mis viajes en bicicleta por el mundo. Este es de Pema y Tenzin. Tenían 8 y 10 años respectivamente y crecieron en un valle del altiplano tibetano, a unos 3800 m de altura. Incluso a tan temprana edad, el rigor del Tíbet ya se les ha quedado esculpido en la cara y las manos. Aun así, corrían como locos, riendo y jugando antes de acomodarse para este retrato. El amor que se demostraban me conmovió profundamente.

[ENG] The southern edge of the Congo is radically different from the images I had in my mind of green lush rainforests, tropical rain and wildlife. That exists too and I would be there eventually, but not during my first week in the country. The south is dry, hot and dusty. I spent the whole week breathing on red dust, which I had been doing since northern Angola. The sweat made it stick permanently to my face and body like make-up. But no matter how hard it was, I was there by choice. I was there because I was lucky to be in a position in which I can pursue my dreams. That is not the case for most people in this world. I ran into these guys in a small forgotten town. They do tough jobs in horrible conditions every day of their lives. They don’t do them to make ends meet, they do it to survive another day, and yet, at the end of the day, they still manage to smile. If they can, how could I ever complain about dust and heat? Then, I could only smile too.

[ESP] El extremo sur del Congo es radicalmente diferente a las imágenes que tenía en mente de selvas verdes y exuberantes, lluvia tropical y vida silvestre. Eso también existe, y eventualmente estaría allí, pero no durante mi primera semana en el país. El sur es seco, caluroso y polvoriento. Pasé toda la semana respirando polvo rojo, algo que venía haciendo desde el norte de Angola. El sudor hacía que se me pegar`1a permanentemente a la cara y al cuerpo como maquillaje. Pero, por muy duro que fuera, estaba allí por decisión propia. Estaba allí porque tenía la suerte de estar en una posición que me permitía perseguir mis sueños. Ese no es el caso de la mayoría de la gente en este mundo. Me encontré con estos chicos en un pequeño pueblo olvidado. Realizan trabajos duros en condiciones horribles todos los días de su vida. No los hacen para llegar a fin de mes, sino para sobrevivir un día más, y aun así, al final del día, logran sonreír. Si ellos pueden, ¿cómo podría quejarme del polvo y el calor? Entonces, solo me quedaba sonreír también.

I love this photo and I know many of you too. It is one of my favourites and I posted it before without a story. It became a symbol of an aspect of mine. I took it during some pretty insane jungle stretch between Gabon and Congo. I don't feel any special for enduring such intense challenges, anyone who truly wants it, can do the same. However, what I do appreciate is going all the way for the things that I love. More often than not, I get deep deep deep in the shit but just because when I choose to do something, I don't go half-way. Only when I know I've given everything of me, I can find peace of mind, regardless of succeeding or losing in the end. Because it's not about the outcome, it's about giving everything you have for what you truly love. To a great extent, the outcome is somehow secondary. It is the experiences that you do not want to miss in your life what truly matter. This is what I systematically apply to all aspects of life: travel, work, relationships, etc Sometimes you win, sometimes you do not, but ultimately, losing would be not having dared and given everything. I come back to this photo every time I need to be reminded of this.

With headwinds of over 45 kph and gusts much faster than that, cycling the Sahara from south to north was a mostly miserable experience. It'd take me 14 gruesome hours during day and night to cycle 55 km every day. Moving at 3-4 kph, swallowing sand and feeling every muscle hurt while struggling not to fall off the bicycle, (and that was when I was actually able to cycle at all). A nightmare that lasted ~40 days, and that's not including the 300 km I had to do on a truck, at a point where I could literally stand on the bicycle without being able to move it at all. I could sometimes just hopelessly sit next to the road in absolute solitude and simply felt like crying. Such is the grinding demoralising power of the wind..
