You have been great for not predicting almost anything and obtaining purely instinctive images that revolutionized the way of visual storytelling 

This is a touching tribute to a departed friend, known for his absolute independence and ironic wit. He was a master in the photography community, a leader to his children, and an immortal figure to his wife. He lived life passionately, as a good cook and a gourmet, who enjoyed sharing his pleasures with friends. He valued silence, always faced life head-on, and took refuge in books. His photographs have become part of the country’s history, and he was an undeniably Madrid-born Catalan. He was a true hedonist, an ardent supporter of his local cuisine and literature, and remained steadfast in his passion for photography. He will be remembered for his athletic physique, his love for the sea, and his intuitive way of capturing moments that revolutionized visual narrative. He was generous to his craft, admired many of his contemporaries, and lived his life with uncompromising freedom and independence. Despite his dislike for nostalgia, he will be remembered with fondness and gratitude for his teachings and friendship. The country’s photography owes him a debt, even if he wouldn’t believe it.
