I’m an absolut disaster. This month (I’m almost late for one day…) is the first birthday of the blog!!! I started it in May 2007. Now he’s learning to walk by himself.

To celebrate it, I prepared a recopilation my favourite photos I have made in the first year of the blog. I realise that I have done more work than I thought!!!!

Thanks to all you few unconditionals of the blog from here and from beyond the sea, specially thanks for the suport to the trio lalala (Numero f, Uno de los nuestros and Theyedropper), el Barbón!, Isaías, Judy Farr and the new arrived Doublecloth.

This is an image of a session I did yesterday in Barcelona for stock. The theme is about two couples of friends in funny mood. In this particular image, the second couple was less happy

The models are Ferran Font, Àfrica Lis, Lluís Niubò and Alexandra Camarasa.

In this session I tested the new Canon EOS 1Ds MarkIII (this photo is shooted with it) thanks to the photographer and friend Xavier Arnau.

Here are some photos of a project I’m working in just now. These are some images of the great Restaurant Benet in Les Borges Blanques (Catalonia).

In the heart of the greatest olive oil of the world (made of arbequina olives), the young chef Francesc Xavier Benet makes a modern and exquisite cuisine very vinculated to his terrain and costumes. This is the second year that the Michelin guide recommends his restaurant.

We took a photo of a nice dessert made with wine in all the elements: biscuit-bread, jelly and sorbet.

Photography cover for the Republic Magazine.

The best, the article about the dollar crisis. Very apropiate.

They must ask the photographer about his dollars after the conversion in euros…

This photo is the result of an assignment of Pagès Editors for a novel cover.

The history is placed in Kashmir and ther are a lot of characters affected by the fractured and divided territory.

They are like trees growing without ground.

As you can see, I have been very inactive in the past weeks. My loved routine has been altered by a good notice. The nice and beautiful people of Istockphoto have offered me to work for them as image inspector. Of course, I have said “yes”. It’s a big honour for me, because I think Istockphoto is the most important royalty free photography bank in the world.

Then, these days I’m working and studying a lot and I’m childly happy.

Today, I have had a vegetative day. Nothing of work, nothing of activity, nothing of nothing.

I was bored and, then, I decided to take some selfportraits to show the face I have when i don’t work. We also can say that this is my new face as inspector.

I don’t recognize myself.

A funny image to represent some possible concepts (eat your greens, alternative treatments, natural medicine, overdose, drugs abuse, etc.).

I tried to get a soft toned look to this shoot.

I was looking for an innocent, happy and funny vision of this delicious berry fruit based in its atractive colour and the lightly bitter taste.
