No Words from the Field, No Chronicle
By Omar Enrique Verdugo Cabeza, Cuidador de las aves
Omar sent fourteen videos throughout the day, one after another, without a single word to accompany them. On the chronicler's end, messages accumulated as well — questions about the species, the location, who was there, what had happened. None of them received a reply.
The videos arrived, but without a voice, there is no story. A chronicle needs what the camera does not always capture: the name of the place, the smell of wet earth, the detail of who was there and why what they witnessed matters. Without that, these images remain mute in the logbook.
This entry remains unfinished. As soon as Omar or someone from the team recounts what they filmed on that 16th of March, the story will find its words.
