MY SPAM COLLECTIONS - 94 pages. Black & White.
|
I get, like anybody else, my daily dose of spams. They fall in several categories. For instance: 1 - "How to have a longer shaft and a better sex life", 2 - "Congratulations, you won a lot of money!", 3 - "Do you want to see/read/hear-how/when/why?...". After trying all kinds of solutions to stop them - obviously with no success -, I decided to match some of those invencible spams with my own junk photos and to make the best of it. As they say: "If you can't beat them, join them". |

WHAT'S THE POINT? - 140 pages. Colour and Black & White.

Diane Arbus once said that it is important to make bad photos. I can't agree more: since I remember, I only made bad photos. But I noticed that, slowly, I was artistically moving towards a new challenge: making pictures which are not only bad but also pointless. |
