Thank you again for your very nice words! you are giving me a too high responsibility? and I really appreciate these words, coming from you have a very special value, you really gave my day! The most important thing is that we enjoy what we do and thanks to our love for the photography we had the chance to meet a lot of new friends visiting Barcelona. I think I have already mentioned a Catalan photographer, Francesc Catala Roca, in late 70?s and early 80?s I?ve assisted to his conferences, one of his statements was ?the pictures are everywhere, you only need find them and take them away?, or a certain Dr. Ted Grant ?. talk about the art of observation, the same thing! Thank you, thank you, I will no stop shooting, I continue walking and I take less pictures, I?m trying to find some different aspects than the usual I?ve recorded. Cheers!
