The street, my office

I think back to when I worked for the government and had an office. Today my office is the street.

Although I also spend a lot of time in my studio, I consider the street the main place of my profession.

Without the street there would be no career as a photographer. Even in the most difficult moments of these two years I went downtown to make photos and every day, I mean every single day, I made photos on the street. And that's my job idea. I don’t really need nothing more than this: a camera and a good pair of shoes.

My office is waiting for me. The biggest and most amazing office one could ever want.
