phoss

It’s also an essay on having fun with forms, shadows and refraction while spending time with friends or traveling. What could be better than this!? All images have been shot with a Canon PowerShot … Continue reading

And Then It Hit Me
The account has a fast rhythm and is absorbing.

oh i’ll miss this sky
I was about to leave Buenos Aires for good in a few weeks, and I knew I would have terribly missed the city’s clear deep sky in all of its blue hues. So I took a few pictures. Now I can refresh the memory and sooth the soul at any moment. Me estaba yendo de … Continue reading
