Last week I received an e-mail from the Denik team to let me know that the journals with Carlota on the cover are for sale. The cool thing about this brand is that part of the profits goes to build schools, so yes, art can change the world.

I have to say that I fell in love with the darkness in his pictures which make hard to know what’s what. His photographs have an emotional depth, a sense of human vulnerability that extends even to the city views and landscapes, and that expands in several directions as one see his pictures.
