he is a pair of eyes and hands that tell stories.

He's a way of living, just like life lasted one day.

a life connected to light organizing its functions and actions based on cycles of brightness, shadow and darkness; forgetting any pretext he may have to do what it's on his mind and heart, putting all his time into it.

 

someone who with his everyday life, creates and cultivates love, peace, happiness and fullness. 

someone who marvels with the small things, just like you see them for the first time.

the one who plays with cameras, lenses and brushes, like a kid, just for the love of color.
