In the referential reproduction of the real world, we can find the sense of credibility and the photography subjects' enigma. The representation of the ephemeral and transient is inherent to the medium of photography is; of all the events that are part of our "visual periphery". In the first case, the photography expressively gives the best of itself, intrinsically having the extraordinary ability to stop the instant and make it permanent. The second, no less critical, gives dignity to those marginal events, giving them a sense. The observer/photographer has given them attention and, consequently, asks the viewer/reader to ask yourself the worlds witnessed and evoked. It's in a perceptive "breakout" between the reality surrounding us and what is reproduced from photography that develops our imaginative interaction.
