I like to think of my photos as a view of the world according to me... I hope you enjoy my photos as much as I have enjoyed taking them.. Thanks for visiting and God bless.

    "Jose calls himself a "rookie" but if you take a second and really look over his photos, you'll see in a second he is a dynamic, wonderfully talented photographer. Besides his photographic skills, he is a wonderful, loving person dedicated to his family and friends. I was blessed with going on a shoot with him when he was in Los Angeles and I'm looking forward to doing it again soon.

    You can't go wrong with this young man.... he's a fantastic person and a natural talent!"

    "If I would have to define Jose's photographs in only a word, I would choose, without any doubt, the word "soul". They are pure and, moreover, they are constantly searching human essence. Jose is able to make so many miracles. His style is far from mine, but his strenght and talent are a constant inspiration for me. Sometimes, when I think about the meaning of my own shots, I reach the conclussion that they are a little bit cold. Probably they are, I agree, but I know that I can compensate this fact admiring your beautiful and inspiring work, Jose.

    You are a star, my friend, Take care.

    Un abrazo."

    "Jose is one of my first contacts here, at flickr. He has revealed himself committed to his photographic work, which he does with passion and perfectionism. Technically very competent, Jose has also a well developed aesthetic taste. Through his work I've met not just his photographic art but also the excellent trusty person and the family behind him.

    Good work, Jose!"

    "Incredible, artistic and very perfectionist!!! That’s what this photostream tells about the photographer :- )

    XAG’s work is completely adorable; he is one of those, who always like to think out of the box… in order to bring new ideas into reality … such people keep enhancing their work until it becomes perfect by all means.

    I congratulate him on assembling such a mesmerizing work on flickr, and wish him best of luck while expecting loads of masterpieces from him in the future.

    "i've gotten to know jose thru flickr over the past few months...and in those few months his creativity has grown and his images just get better and better.
    he has such a great variety of subjects...and his photos of soldiers in training are some of my favorites here on flickr.
    he allows us into this world that not many of us know or understand..and for that i'm grateful.
    i look forward to seeing all the new posts from jose :)"

    "XAG is an accomplished photographer, yet so humble as a person that he always encourages newbies very generously.
    Most of the times I come to flickr just to see his new amazing shots."

    "What an amazing photographer! I am so happy to see XAG come so far in such a short amount of time, but when you have the eye you just have it... and XAG was definitely blessed with one amazing eye for photography!"

    "XAG is the greatest contact you could ever have. He hands out comments, faves and constructive criticism like candy and is always really sweet and nice. That is how I know the person XAG.

    As a photographer he just has a perfect eye. His photographs are razor sharp, creative and often very funny. Take a look through his stream and behold amazing animals, great nature shots, weirdly angled buildings and soft portraits. Notice also his incredible sense of the color green. I have never seen green the way XAG presents it: vibrant, soft and beautiful. He can make a bush look more alive and green than real life, with hardly any processing.

    I really values XAG as a photographer, contact, and may I say (?), a friend. Keep up the great work XAG!"
