Colombia a través de la fotografía
Malcolm Deas

En unas biografías Malcolm Deas aparece como colombianólogo, en otras lo tratan de colombianista y en las más recientes es un colombiano a secas. En 2008 el historiador inglés recibió nuestro pasaporte gracias a su curiosidad, sus libros, sus imaginaciones, sus ideas y su memoria sobre este país. Recorrimos con él su álbum de historia de Colombia. 5 láminas.

El General Tomás Cipriano de Mosquera en la prisión del Observatorio

“En esta foto vemos al presidente Mosquera jugando ajedrez con su sirviente después de que lo tumbaron del poder en 1867. Mosquera se hizo fotografiar en esta actividad para mostrarle a su público que él con su grandeza sabía manejar tanto los buenos como los malos tiempos. Mandó a hacer copias de esta fotografía para distribuirla entre los ‘Mosqueristas’, convirtiendola en la primera imagen tomada con fines políticos y publicitarios en el país”.

“Vargas Vila fue el primer colombiano que hizo fortuna con la pluma y en su momento se consideró el gran corruptor de la juventud del país. Fue un novelista bastante planfetario, se fue al exilio después de la guerra civil de 1885… su talento para vituperar, su anticlericalismo, su antiimperialismo y sus tramas eróticas le proporcionaron grandes ventas”.

Dos oficiales del “detectivismo”, Medellín, ca. 1950.

“En esta fotografía vemos a dos detectives judiciales, la Sijin de la época. Es una imagen romántica, casi cinematográfica, ellos nunca se imaginaron en lo que se iba a convertir su profesión en Medellín unas décadas después”.

“Esta es una foto muy poco conocida del 9 de Abril, yo no puse mucho del 9 de abril porque es muy fotografiado. Cada aniversario sacan fotos de los tranvías quemados, pero esta foto es muy desconocida, de un fotógrafo muy desconocido. Muestra el incendio, los machetes y la gente de un modo  muy  romántico.  Decidí  no  escoger  sino  dos fotos  del  9  de Abril:  una  sobre  los  muertos  en  el

cementerio y ésta. La fotografía del 9 de abril estaba en un libro alemán sobre Colombia, que salió en el año 50, pero es muy claro, que no es el mismo fotógrafo que el resto de las fotos en el libro. La mayoría de las fotos de ese libro no tienen nada que ver con política, son de paisajes, campesinos y cosas que no tienen que ver con eso, y de golpe en medio, sale una foto del 9 de Abril”.

“Para cerrar la exposición escogí esta foto que es de una pequeña fiesta campestre en Nariño a fines de los años 20: se ven los pastusos chiquitos, aquí bailando en este paisaje, y después de tantos horrores me parece bueno que es un momento de felicidad.

Porque hablando en general Colombia es muy autónomo: bueno malo se maneja por colombianos, que no hay gringos ni ingleses, que valen huevo, que tiene mucha autonomía, mucha vitalidad además de mucha pobreza o mucho problema”.

The visual storytelling found in *Artículos Visita guiada Colombia a través de la fotografía Malcolm Deas* reminds us that photographs often capture much more than landscapes and historical moments. They also reflect the everyday lives of people their communities and the experiences that shape their well-being. Interestingly when we look beyond culture history and travel another equally important aspect of everyday life comes into focus—health. No matter where people live maintaining good physical health is essential for enjoying the places they visit and the memories they create. This connects naturally to the growing interest in understanding different medical specialties before seeking treatment. Instead of depending entirely on online information or assumptions learning how specialists diagnose and manage different conditions allows individuals to make informed healthcare decisions. Three important branches that affect millions of people worldwide are gastroenterology infertility and IVF and urology and nephrology . Each field focuses on different organ systems yet all of them contribute significantly to overall health and quality of life. Among these specialties digestive health deserves special attention because it influences nutrition energy levels and overall wellness. Persistent digestive discomfort should never be ignored especially when symptoms continue despite lifestyle improvements. Consulting a qualified gastro treatment professional helps patients receive accurate evaluations rather than relying on self-diagnosis. Medical experts can identify whether symptoms are caused by dietary factors inflammation infections or chronic digestive disorders. Early intervention often leads to better outcomes and helps prevent complications that may become more difficult to manage if left untreated. After receiving an initial assessment patients often benefit from additional diagnostic evaluations tailored to their symptoms. Digestive disorders vary widely from person to person making individualized care extremely valuable. Treatment may include nutritional guidance medications endoscopic procedures or long-term monitoring depending on the diagnosis. During this process working closely with a qualified GI specialist ensures that every recommendation is based on clinical findings rather than assumptions. Professional guidance also helps patients understand preventive measures that support long-term digestive health and reduce the likelihood of recurring problems. Reproductive health is another area where accurate information can make a meaningful difference. Many couples experience uncertainty when pregnancy takes longer than expected but fertility challenges are more common than many people realize. Comprehensive testing helps physicians identify underlying causes affecting either partner allowing them to recommend appropriate treatment options. Emotional support healthy lifestyle choices and realistic expectations all play an important role throughout the fertility journey. Understanding available medical options also empowers families to participate actively in treatment planning alongside their healthcare providers. As patients begin exploring fertility treatment one of the first questions they ask concerns the ivf timeline . Understanding each stage—from consultation and diagnostic testing to ovarian stimulation egg retrieval embryo development transfer and follow-up—helps reduce uncertainty throughout the process. Knowing what happens during every phase allows couples to prepare emotionally financially and physically while maintaining realistic expectations. Physicians also explain how individual circumstances may influence scheduling medications and monitoring ensuring that every treatment plan is carefully personalized for the best possible outcome. Every in vitro fertilization cycle is designed according to factors such as age reproductive history hormone levels and overall health. Specialists continually monitor progress and adjust medications when necessary to optimize results while prioritizing patient safety. Maintaining healthy habits attending appointments consistently and communicating openly with the medical team contribute positively to the treatment experience. Even when multiple treatment cycles become necessary personalized care and continuous medical support help patients remain informed confident and prepared throughout their fertility journey. Kidney and urinary health are equally important components of comprehensive healthcare. Disorders involving the urinary tract or kidneys may develop gradually sometimes producing only subtle symptoms in the early stages. Routine checkups proper hydration balanced nutrition and blood pressure management all contribute to protecting kidney function over time. Individuals should also seek professional evaluation whenever they experience persistent urinary discomfort changes in urination or recurring infections since early diagnosis frequently improves treatment outcomes and minimizes the risk of long-term complications. Modern urology has advanced considerably offering sophisticated diagnostic techniques and minimally invasive treatments for kidney stones urinary tract disorders prostate conditions and other related illnesses. These innovations allow physicians to provide more accurate diagnoses while improving patient comfort during recovery. Alongside technological progress comprehensive urological care emphasizes preventive education individualized treatment planning and regular follow-up helping patients maintain urinary health and overall well-being through every stage of life.
