<< Learning to Feel >> is a series of black & white images, they are about the way I feel things instead about how I see things, They are taken out of focus in the camera, and sometimes I increased the blurriness while printing. I did it in order to make you see with your own eyes, It?s like a visual experience, ?everything is in the eyes of the beholder?. The images translate the timeless sensation of being in a universal place. I gave similary titles titled with a verb indicating process, they give you only an idea of what the photograph could be about
