Enséñame los signos de tu cuerpo. Esa estela de sombra que el tiempo va dejando,  nos recorre. Pero también las marcas del amor, que forman en nosotros laberinto, topografía para vencer la muerte.

Making a photograph is as difficult as finding a particularly frisky cat in a dark room. Making a great photograph is as chancy as trying to catch a frisky cat in a black room in which there is no cat.
