2014 in photos and words

Every year I take tons of photos and I only publish a handful of them. Some of the reasons why this occurs is because I have no time to edit them all or I link their publication to a blog post so they have to fit the story (or vice versa), because I am prone to keep some in order to use them in future projects and also, because I usually reject those which for a reason or another I don´t find passable. To be honest, my opinion regarding this last issue is not always reliable as I am extremely perfectionist, but I apply my own criteria anyway. 

Consequently, it happens that at the end of the year I have thousands of photos that haven´t been brought to the light and most of them will remain always in my files.

I already have come to terms with this, I know photography is part of a more complex practice but  I often think I should rescue a few and  I have finally done it.

There are not the best, nor the more meaningful. They are just photos that caught my eye while I was going over my files… maybe because they contain the essence of this year.
