Howard wanted me to tell a nice story of one of the images, but they all had a story, this is the second time that in an exhibit I tell the story of my photographs, as I always presented them with only the location and time. Some of the stories may not be very amusing, but some have lots to say.

When I travel, a thorough planning is made as I have little time to be at the location and you never know how the weather will be as well as the light conditions. I do know where to go, but have a vague idea of what I will be looking to photograph, it is only when I am on the location, that my eyes take the lead and start visualizing different images, which stay in my mind until the film development is done‘ and they are place on the light box, where a thumbs up or down will be given.

In this opportunity I selected images around the world that I made throughout the years up to 2005.

As usual my recommendation to view my photographs is to have a glass of read wine on hand and rock music in the background.
