I like to photograph almost any thing but Birds, Animals and Nature photography serve my love for open spaces and travel.

I’m Spanish, married and I have my home near Madrid.

I'm joining groups with similar areas of interest and do not feel ashamed to do some cropping or touching with Photoshop.

I welcome any advice that anyone has to offer on my photos. I´m enjoying learning from groups and people here on Flickr.

If you add me as a contact and I do not reciprocate, please do not be offended, but I cannot keep up with the ones I already have.

* Due to so much theft in the past, I no longer upload my photos in full resolution to Flickr.



Quotes I like:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Photography is a human act and therefore subjective, a selective act and there interpretive. This makes it possible for photography to be an art, for photographers to achieve a personal style - and for the camera to lie."

~ Arthur Goldsmith

    "Jose, you are a fantastic photographer and it is my privilege to have you as a contact. You are always there with a comment even when you haven't posted and I have come to think of you as a friend even though you are in another part of the world."

    "Jose is an amazingly skilled and insightful photographer. His nature images bring life out in the world directly to your doorstep and invite you to partake of all that he sees and perceives. Time spent with Jose's images is time invested in the glories of nature around us.

    But in addition to being a wonderful photographer, Jose takes his membership at Flickr and commitments quite seriously. He spends the time it takes to recognize others' work and to invite them to various groups within Flickr. I especially appreciate the time he takes to view photographs and leave comments. His often helpful input is to be taken seriously, for this photographer clearly knows of what he speaks."

    "Once in a while you discover a really fine photographer on Flickr, and that is a real pleasure. Jose is such a person. His photographs cover a number of different subject areas, but he prefers to photograph birds best of all.

    Quite apart from being a talented photographer, Jose is a really kind and thoughtful person, who truly cares about other people. He takes the trouble to comment on the images posted by others and he is generous with his praise and his time. His character is very clear from his photos and his comments. He is a man to respect. I am proud to call Jose my friend. I look forward to seeing many more fine images from him in the future."
