    Brilliant work by a talented and obviously very dedicated photojournalist! I particularly love the images that portray moments in daily life without any added drama of war or death etc. These candid shots to me are more like fabulous street shots.

    He is one of the best photojournalist today. Very good sense of composition, and he gets involved the right amount in the pictures, not too much,not too little. He’s not always INSIDE, he’s an observer from outside many of the times, which gives his work a very eloquent perspective of things, letting us seeing more things that hte obvious.

    I’m proud he’s from Spain, like me. ;)
