Photography for me has been a passion that comes and goes. It is something I enjoy doing — that is the process — and the results have always been a surprise left for "a later date", like opening a surprise gift.

I remember how after saving to get my first SLR camera while a teenager, I spend countless hours taking pictures without film (I had spend all my money on the camera and film was something to try later on).

Observing, framing, playing via the lens offered the opportunity to view the world from a different perspective as well as from a "safe spot". As you may imagine, the results were not on the film but on my minds eye.

However, during a visit to my native Buenos Aires - Argentina in 1995, I spend several hours with a friend in the subways of that city composing the images you can find following this link. Just like in the past, the results surprise me as much as when I first started developing film and making prints.

Some workshops and professional training aided me in concentrating a bit more on technique, and allowed me to enrich my composition. Nevertheless, the results have always been my own as I tried to "freeze time"; to take a moment, place, situation, and transform it all into an experience that some times is quite abstract and often rewarding.

Today (2003), with the advances in digital photography the focus has changes somewhat. Now it is a bit more WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) when I don't use film. However, there is still room for experimenting.
