    "I've been watching Hector's photography since he first started posting. I have no idea how I ran across his photos, but I was always and still am struck by Hectors eye for framing his subjects. He just keeps getting better. His subjects are engaged and incredibly candid. Hector has a great sense of light and shadow. Thank you, Hector."

    "Make a few time that I'm promising to write about this unknown photographer... Bunny is a good detail catcher, here in Brazil there's a saying: Respect the small things, the large are respectable by themselves. that's what Hector does. he takes pictures of what you don't pay attention and it's beautiful. go look thru his pages and see with your eyes."

    "
    "cierro mis ojos y veo Madrid.." Alguna vez una fotografia de HZ, me hizo recordar esa frase de mi vieja escuela.
    Es curioso, pero si, las fotos de Hector nos transportan de inmediato a nuestros reucerdos. Son fotos con sentimiento, que nos impregnan de memorias, sus fotografias, son las imagenes que vemos cuando cerramos nuestros ojos. Son esas imagenes que hacen que volvamos el tiempo."

    "Hector is overflowing with talent at such a young age. The youth mindset definetely helps the eye find art where there is none. He is incredible. Hector really knows the right apeture for each situation. His pictures are very tranquil but, also thought-provoking. I love them! You should too:)"

    "Hector is amazing. A 19 year old photographer from Mexico City who makes all his photographs with a Nikon Coolpix 5600 and iPhoto 5. His photographs show a sensitivity to light and color line and mood that make you want to linger in his world a little longer. And look at his taste in music and movies Blade Runner, Woody Allen, Jim Jarmusch, Davids Bowie and Byrne and Brian Eno. Ouch. Let's party dude!"

    "Hector es un Joven demasiado alocado, amante del reventon los cigarros y la Coca Cola. aveces me pregunto: ¿como es que puede ser alguien tan prendido?
    tal vez sea el exceso e azucar, no lo se.
    Lo que si se es que Hector es un buen amigo, colega de Konfort y sus fotos estan bien padres.

    "Pienso que vale mucho la pena citar una frase de Kundera..."Solo la casualidad puede aparecer ante nosotros como un mensaje. Lo que ocurre necesariamente, lo esperado, lo que se repite todo los dias es mudo. Solo la casualidad nos habla"
    Y creo que tus imágenes son un excelente ejemplo de como puedes encontrar en algo tan cotidiano imagenes que nos dan mas que un simple vistazo...adelante!"

    "Creo que los hilos conductores que marcan las actividades del buen HZ podrían ser la curiosidad, la creatividad y las mujeres.
    Excelente músico, estudiante responsable, viajero del gozo y fotógrafo del bien."
