Ancient rocks together. / by Armando Guerra

Salvador and I met many years ago. He is a brilliant sculptor/artist who lives in Taiwan. We are far away, but we talk often, exchange ideas, fix the world to our liking and plan on future adventures together.

In the summer of 2018 we finally acted on it and took a road trip to the Bardenas Reales in Navarra, Spain. I shot medium format and Salvador digital. He makes massive large format prints, often two meters by three, but actually prints two or three copies only. After that he moves on.

I had never taken photographs of a landscape. Salvador searches for beauty. I was simply a sidekick, part documenting his work, part finding my own pace.

I prefer an imperfect world. I am imperfect, flawed. I want betterment through that.
