Brixton. London 2013. Digital

The second of a collection of corny sunsets in tough places. While in Brixton one might feel in the utopian London where Marley hang out in the 70’s, the west indian heritage is quite strong and the city and culture are constantly in ones face. it has a hectic atmosphere where the newcomer feels invisible to the resident eyes. In a hidden alley I found this lovely corridor and decided to photograph it, taking away the intimidating aspects of its surroundings.

Olive O. Hoxton Street Market, London. Spring 2013

From what I’ve heard this street is been up and coming for years, yet it doesn’t ever seem to take off. The Olive is cheap, decent walking distance pizza from my place. As I usually do when I find something affordable I like, the past month its been constantly on the menu.

Must infatuate the fact that I enjoy the sort of run down atmosphere, the resistance of the locals to the gentrification of their street by 3 quid coffee places. After all we share that piece of land, and must of us are already paying more than we can afford to live there.

Hasta la Victoria, Siempre. London 2013. Mobile Phone

This morning I woke up feeling like I had being dumped by me precious, inexistent, girlfriend. Yesterday, around midnight, by bicycle was stolen.

In a decisive pursuit to feel better about myself (it was my fault the bicycle episode, didn’t lock it properly) I made some eggs, and started sending applications to perspective jobs from my very long list of possible employers. Suddenly, I remembered weeks ago I booked a talk with The Photographers Gallery with a magnum photographer. It was time to hit the road, besides it was 20 degrees and around here that doesn’t happen.

After a very active afternoon of gallery and museum inspection around the, prohibitively expensive, west side of the city, I arrived to the gallery. Still feeling like like shit and envying every hipster, yuppie or mum who past in front of me riding a beautiful bike, went downstairs to the book shop. Rene Burri was sitting right in front of the stairs, I stare at him, as I usually do when dont know what to to, and he laid his hand and introduce himself.

After hearing him talk about his life, the trips he made, the people he met, how he had to chase Picasso for six years to get the portrait of the painter taken and what a paranoid egocentric El Che was, I left feeling slightly better and manege to give some sense to his dedication. Now i have two heroes in the same book.

Tina’s Flat. West London 2013. Digital

Yesterday I found myself I what I thought I could be one of Tina Barney’s summer houses, only that this one was in Earls Court, in west London.

The flat certainly got something going. I couldn’t leave the flat till the next day.

Strolling through the streets of Stoke Newington its among the perks of leaving in Hackney. It has an aura of calmness that is not easy to find around.

Hackney Road #1. London 2013. Digital

A great friend of mine often compares London and New York, attributing the American city with the most vibrant sunsets, this is a humble intent to prove her wrong. Hackney Road is the heart of East London, where I happen to live at the time. It has a eerie blend of roughness and home feeling hard to explain. This photographs depict the tender side.

DEADLINE- Young Fathers

A couple of weeks ago went my mate Mario to a gig in The Shack Well Arms, a pub in Dalston. We had no idea what the band was going to be playing. It was an unprecedented surprise to listen to the scottish trio. They create a mellow sound in the urban scene. I guess the name of the band helps to create the bond.

NO (trailer) Chiile 2012

The latest film of Pablo Larrain tells the a story of new possibilities, its history lesson, told in a documentary style. Without falling in the stereotypical south american soap opra corniness, depicts the last moments of infamous Pinochet. With a great performance my the beloved Bernal, NO will make you think anything is possible.

Hermanos, sobrinos y tios. Enero 2010. Digital

Going through my archive to come up with a portfolio of editorial portraits, I came across this image of my sisters, nephew and nice, taken almost three years ago. Photography’s ability to make me long for the past never fails to fascinate me. Nothing else can bring me joy and despair at the same time in the way a photograph do. Seeing me happy and surrounded by my sisters reminded me of my love for them, and how far they are. I remember back then I had just crash my car into a moving public bus full with people. I also remembered what it was to have a tan, long hair and no beard. London 12/12 R
