Prologo Bookstore, September 17 2009, tertulia
Prologo is a wonderful secret place in Bogotá. I try to spend every Thursday night there to listen to wonderful speakers, check a smart book selection and have a glass of wine with the owners. I am honored to be invited to talk about my work. Check: http://prologolibros.com
Openning a studio in Colombia!
Colombia is a beautifull place constantly telling me stories so I decided to bring those stories to the studio to share them with you but being able to potentialise the drama by controling the light. The challenge? being able to keep that honest look that I look fowaard on the street.
What Weinstein said
Mr. Weinsteind writes about art in NewCity Chicago magazine. About Focus Group show he said: "All the photographers here focus their energy with determination, showing that hardcore modernism lives and postmodern play is an afterthought to be stood on its head".

Still Printing
While I enjoy working with a digital camera, I find that the demands of film
photography, with its limited resources and hours of work in the darkroom, bring
an extra level of consciousness to the simple act of taking a photograph that I still enjoy very much.
A Black Frame
Traditional photography thought me that when you don't crop a picture you are allowed to put a black frame around it. I have pushed myself to exhibit only uncroped pictures on my shows since i learnt that concept. I certainly enjoy challenging myrself.
