Buenos Aires

- Buenos Aires -

I started taking pictures when I was 25,

in the way that mostly photographers do: roaming streets...

as Cartier Bresson always did.

When I decided to quit University, I was looking for something to fulfill my empty soul.

These pictures are from my first year as "photographer".

I'm proud of these images, because they are simple pictures and every single one has a meaning for me, has a memory beyond...
