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?
