The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera / Dorothea Lange

No matter what, I always go back to people. I may try other subjects - countryside landscapes, the emptiness of urban life - but people always make me go back.
It can be friends or family, people I know well and care about; it can be total strangers I pass by on the street.
It can be just a look, a wink, a gesture of the hand - manifestations of our individuality in the simplest things. That's what I end up looking for most of the time, even when I don't even realise it.
This selection is a bit of what I've managed to find along this way. I hope you like it.
This is very fine work Mr Espadana. I like the humanity, the nearness in your pictures. They present themselves like a world of its own, although so familiar. Like a tale of everyday life. Many thanks for being here with us.
It is not only the chiaroscuro in your work that focuses the eye, but the incredibly sharp focus that falls away to obscurity. I will learn from these whose hallmark is that they say more about vision than about the vision's subject. Good stuff.
Beautiful work, Bruno -- both the photographs and your words. I would agree that your work reminds us of how we see as well as what we see. To do that gracefully is a real art!
