This is a personal project based on admiration and respect. Today, the day before Christmas, I was bless with the opportunity to photograph Mr Antonio Artavia (known as Tatica) who’s 103 [...]

The massive arrival of turtles is specially big during the months of August, September and October, when there is so many turtles that they come to shore [...]
AP – It finally feels real – Finalmente se siente real.

Guayaquil, Ecuador
Llegamos a Guayaquil a principios de la tarde. Nos estaba esperando un guÃa local para llevarnos a visitar el malecón y algunos de los puntos interesantes de la ciudad. La primera parada fue en un parque, del que – por supuesto – no recuerdo el nombre. Caminamos un poquito, y yo no pude evitar notar [...]
