Memories of Love
Do not have a memory for a past integrity. Blur points, sharp points, depending on the chart of each individual emotion. But even the most disjointed fragments, it also helped me realize who I was at least in a certain period.
I was always obsessed with fast time passes, people get older and things of old memories gradually being forgotten ...
Photography is not the most important thing in my life. But photography made my life richer, more meaningful. I like taking pictures for the viewer to wonder and think. I use minimum photoshop, life itself was so great.
