The languor of Youth -how unique and quintessential it is! How quickly, how irrecoverably, lost! The zest, the generous affections, the illusions, the despair, all the traditional attributes of youth -all save this- come and go with us through life. These things are part of life itself; but the languor -the relaxation of yet unwearied sinews, the mind sequestered and self-regarding- that belongs to youth alone and dies with it.
(Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh)
"What do you want me to say?"
"Anything. Something to make me feel good."
"You're really cute". I said.
"- Midori", she said. "Say my name".
"You're really cute, Midori", I corrected myself.
"What do you mean really cute?"
"So cute the mountains crumble and the oceans dry".
(Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami)

Guess who is holding a beer? Heineken Tavern, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, 17 June 1989.
Since I was a teenager I liked photography. My first camera was a Yashica Electro 35 GSN that I still keep with me as a little treasure. Later, I bought two reflex cameras: a Olympus OM10 and a Pentax P30N. Several compacts cameras followed these ones. Although I went on taken photos, my interest in photography began to languish. However, in 2004 I borrowed from my brother a compact digital camera Nikon for a trip to Germany and my interest in photography reborn from its ashes. Now, I'm really happy taking photos and sharing them with anybody thanks to the community of people drawn together by Filckr.
Why salvita_42? Two reasons. First, when I joined Flickr I was 42 and, second, my mom calls me salvita (little salva), hence my nickname.
Photo gear:
Fujifilm Finepix F11 (the first one pocket camera capable of shooting at high ISO speed with noise under control!)
Fujifilm Finepix F30

Some of my photos have been published in different magazines -as New Yorker, Max, New Scientist, iLcortesse, Professional Events, etc.- and also as cover books or even in calendars. If you are interested in getting a high quality print of one of my photos, please go to my Imagekind gallery. If the photo that you want is not there yet, I can add it specifically for you.
Please, hope you understand that if you add me as a contact, I won't be able to reciprocate you because I have so many contacts already that my situation is completely unsustainable.

La languidez de la juventud, única y quintaesenciada ... ¡Qué pronto se pierde para siempre! Todos los demás atributos tradicionales de la juventud: el entusiasmo, los afectos generosos, las ilusiones, la desesperación -todos menos éste- , aparecen y desaparecen a lo largo de la vida. Forman parte de la vida misma. Pero la languidez -la relajación de los músculos todavía no agotados, la mente que busca la soledad y se entrega a la introspección- sólo pertenece a la juventud y con ella muere.
(Retorno a Brideshead, Evelyn Waugh)
Desde que era un adolescente ya me gustaba la fotografía. Mi primera cámara fué una Yashica Electro 35 GSN que todavía conservo como un pequeño tesoro. Después compré dos cámaras reflex: una Olympus OM10 y una Pentax P30N. Varias compactas siguieron a éstas y aunque seguí haciendo fotos, mi pasión por la fotografía empezó a languidecer. Sin embargo, en 2004 mi hermano me prestó una cámara digital Nikon para un viaje que hice a Alemania y mi interés en la fotografía renació de sus cenizas. Ahora, estoy realmente féliz haciendo fotos y compartiéndolas con todos vosotros gracias a Flickr.

Nathan Bergeron Photography (away) says:
"Salva is a stand up guy. He is one of my oldest and dearest Flickr friends. He is so kind and generous with his comments.
As for his work, well that definitely speaks for itself. He is a master of HDR and blending. I am blown away by every photo that he uploads. I love his architectural shots especially of the Arts and Science Centre in Valencia. He amazes me with his night photography as well his shots are always so sharp and detailed.
Thanks Salva for your inspiration and your constant visits to my stream. : )"14th December, 2008

Daniel Colleman says:
"Salvador has a deep background not only in composition but in technique and color. He makes incredible photos using digital blending of hdr.

johnwalford says:
"Here the viewer will discover the work of a masterful eye, and a craftsman who exercises great precision in the execution of his work. His sets on his home town of Valencia are exquisite, and a joy to the eye of those who enjoy architectural form.
Especially in his set, The City of Arts and Sciences, the purity of line and color, the judicious framing, and masterful sense for composition make this one of the richest studies of contemporary architectural form on Flickr.
Both his Valencia sets--so pleasing to the eye--will also motivate the viewer to visit Valencia. As a visual invitation, the city has reason to be proud.of these photographic works, and owes a debt to their maker. Thank you, "salvita_42" for your fine craftsmanship and judicious eye."5th June, 2007

zpei says:
"Salva es conocido por todos en flikrs y, por eso, no me voy a centrar en decir lo buen fotógrafo que es porque eso ya lo sabeis todos. Voy a centrarme en algo que también sabéis pero que yo considero que es mucho más importante. Tengo la suerte de conocerlo personalmente y es un tipo de esos sensacionales que quedan pocos. Una muy buena persona con la que se hace muy agradable charlar y hablar de cualquier tema. Su humildad, carácter amable y agradable hace que uno -como es mi caso- se sienta realmente feliz por haberle conocido y por tener la inmensa suerte de contar con él y con su amitad para cualquier cosa. Un abrazo amigo¡¡¡ Pablo"

"Since I did my first steps on flickr, I recognized Salva as a very friendly and nice man, who always finds the time to leave comments, being really interested in your work. He is one of the main reasons why flickr works as a place where people, who like photography and share their passion with others, can meet. He is an extraordinary talented photographer and his photos often leaves me standing there with my mouth wide open. Go on with it, Salva, I appreciate you and your work!"

"A truly remarkable , sincere "gentleman" who is most caring and sincere about his fellow photog Flickr friends. He has the time and patience for all, and is most eager to learn/advance his photo interests. As for his hometown/city ,one could not find a more proud citizen of Valencia. I hope someday to meet him .... maybe during the forthcoming Americas Cup ???"

"Bueno, Salva, que decirte. Sólo agradecimientos por tu apoyo a mi trabajo y a esos comentarios tan positivos ( y a veces tan divertidos ). Desde que estoy en Flickr ( hace ahora año y medio) no habia conocido a una persona tan constante en su trabajo fotográfico...sin pretensiones...sin altibajos...y con unas maneras exquisitas...me has aportado muchas ideas en cuanto al tratamiento en HDR ( del cual te considero un verdadero genio). Espero que continuemos nuestra estupenda y divertida amistad e interes por la fotografía.Pipi"

DanielKHC says:
"Salvador is my first flickr contact, and since that time, he has almost commented each one of my photos! Salvador is an excellent photographer, who loves his city Valencia and brings stunning panoramic architecture photographs such as the City of Arts and Sciences. He has recently been "infected" with the HDR virus like many of us, and has now truly perfected his HDR technique which he applies with subtle moderation to many of his great photographs.
It's a great priviledge to have you in my contacts!"17th February, 2007

"En este poco tiempo como miembro de Flickr he descubierto unos cuantos nuevos amigos, Sal es uno de ellos, con unas fotografias magnificas de unos panoramas unicos de su tierra Espanola que tanto me gusta, Y esos HRD's que se pasan de vueltas, Me encanta mirar su foto stream porque me alegra el ojo y me lleva a lugares anelados por ese medio.
Salud, Keep on posting my amigo!"8th February, 2007

A guy with A camera says:
"Salvador, I want to thank you for sharing your photos with the world. You are a true craftsman of panorama views and a great photographer. I am awed by the beautiful landmarks of Spain that you captured so perfectly!"
