There is satisfaction in being able to tell a story in which some people can identify themselves and can reflect on the worlds that surround us. This is a stop on the road to collect pieces of my personal memory--to think about who we are and where we are going.

Una Rosa Roja para un Intimo Adios
I picked this story because it changed my way of thinking, and it altered our lives forever. The idea emerged from the fact that your life can change in blink of an eye, and that all change represents loss or strength.
Retelling this story allows me to share my life experiences, to enrich the lives of others, and to produce positives attitudes.

Si te vas…tu no me quieres!
I would like to tell a story about my mother, father, and grandmother, who are part of my life. The reason I picked this story is that I trust it will help others like me, if they find themselves in the same circumstances.
My grandmother in her wisdom directed me to the right path and in moments when I felt depressed about not having my parents always at my side, she used to tell me, “Keep going with…

Volviendo al Pasado para Volver al Futuro
I thought that it would be good to tell the story of my life as a student in the Dominican Republic, and of my relationship with my schoolmates. This is a story that fills me with nostalgia and happiness, because even if I live in New York now, I feel certain that if I returned to the Dominican Republic I would be welcomed warmly.
Seeing these images and retelling this story…

Memorias Callejeras
I feel very excited to be able to share this story with my family. I know that my parents will be pleased to see these photographs, and it will make them remember how hard they struggled to be able to build a life in this country. I hope that other people can identify with this idea that Queens contains a little piece of their homeland, that you can build your home wherever you are.
I search for my destiny…

El Mar mi Pasión
I wished to recreate through photographs the story of my life, preserving these memories for my children. The happiness that I feel is immense knowing that the story will be on the web where it can be seen by my family in Ecuador.
We moved to New York, the land of freedom with the illusion to see our aspirations and dreams come true. A very good friend, Mery received us and guided us on the best way forward.…

I am a friend and colleague of Daniel Camilo, the father of Junior. We have worked at the same restaurant for 12 years, and in that time, I learned a lot about baseball and this young star.
In this workshop I’ve had different feelings, but I really wish to show with this story two great values: perseverance and determination. This project has allowed me to step up my photography career. To me, learning…

Cinco Meses
The idea arose from the need for more people to know what it is like, the crossing of many people like me, because we always think that outside of our terruños, we will find the goose that lays golden eggs.
I feel very happy because this will be my first work that many people will see, and maybe it will connect them with the emotions and frustrations they feel when on the road or crossing.
