I want just comment something. Some or maybe, many years ago I made some thoughts about my interest for the photography. It is quite easy discover new things that impact our eyes when we are doing a trip, still more if we do this to a country with a very different culture of our, but we can't always be in a trip, say ... 99% of our life is happening in the city where we live, and I should look for this going to the streets and looking for. How they did great photographers to see what could be interesting to catch?. This was requiring an effort, learning to see, and this was my motivation and my approach, love your environment and do an effort to see, and many times is a question to have some luck, following your advice, have always a camera with you is easier discover oppotunities. I thank you very much your works and I really think that this is as an exercise, a constant training as we see in many other friends of the list.
