The photographs caught my attention immediately, apart from being thoroughly well executed, moving, and tragic, they are in perfect harmony with zoowithoutanimals. They are wonderful, see for yourself:
Raül and Emma
Wake up, Glòria!
Jordi, learn to fly please!
Ismael, reflection is for idiots
Rita hangs by a thread
Xavier, go out of here!
Artur’s sad job
The end or the beginning
Josep, what do you want?
