I have loved photography all my life but have had no time to dedicate to it consistently. I prefer to take spontaneous photos of what I think are interesting things, situations, compositions or people although it is difficult to perform spontaneous photography because the light and arrangement are not controlled and often, there is little time to make the shot. I also enjoy to play with light (sunsets, reflections, light beams) and contrasting, often surrealistic, odd or sarcastic situations. Very often I like to show a confusing scene, perhaps with multiple reflections, or just a small part of a frame that is confusing to the brain. I specially enjoy B&W.

The rest of the time, : ) I am a researcher working on Fusion Energy in San Diego, California. Fusion Energy is an alternative to oil, non-contaminating, powerful and near inexhaustible. Cross your fingers!!

I am originally from Spain (La Corun~a, Galicia), although I have lived in the USA, Venezuela, Germany and other places for most of my life, so you will find photos from all those places in this site. I am now trying to digitize all my negatives...a titanic task that will take years!
