I was born in Bande-Açu during the 1958 carnival, in the Northeast of the state of Bahia, Brazil, and before becoming disillusioned with sociology, I had met the Polaroid camera, whose speed had caught my attention.

 I came across philosophy during the early eighties, when I picked up a camera for the first time: a flash of emotion! Like my first camera, which I obtained through politically incorrect means, the curse prevented me from seeing my first images: a cunning individual didn’t pay to get high out of my sight.

 In 1985, I went to Belém do Pará, in the North of Brazil, where I started out (Fotoativa!) as a magician’s apprentice in a photo developing lab as a result of circumstances that today make me think: Was it destiny? A search? Chance? I don’t know whether I’ve leapt into the unknown, or if I’m still up in the air, maybe it’s just a post-modern debate.

After three years in Belém, I ventured to Central America with a one-way ticket and full of love and there…I thought I had become a photographer and began my first documentaries. During the late eighties, I returned to Bahía and worked between Teofilândia and Salvador. The virus had already taken over my mind and I couldn’t stand more than a year and… Madrid, Madrid, Madrid…(I also considered going to heaven) where I stayed with neither joy nor photos nor sorrow.

In early 1993, I went to Guatemala where I worked for the Forensic Anthropology Foundation where I took photos of the victims (mainly Mayan Indians) of the armed conflict who now lie in unmarked graves.

After working in Ayacucho, in the Peruvian Andes, where I taught photography at the Media Studies Faculty at the University of San  Cristóbal de Huamanga. Then,  I return to Zaragoza, Spain, where  offers me space  for new adventures.

Nowadays I'm not already wander through Guatemala fighting my demons and getting ready to migrate to a more real world…

 I have only seen small demons, and I have left them and I came back to Spain; here, there are other demons more o less out of control. Then, I do not know whether I feel good to eradicator them without firepower with built-in focus.

 Now I have moved to Namibia, land of the brave. I hope soon upload pictures of this intriguing country.
