In Aquellos años / Those Years the author gathers a diverse collection of images captured from 1987 on, when, unexpectedly, he began his foray into photography.

Even in those years, we perceive an avid and curious eye, willing and able to capture a family of folkloric musicians rehearsing on a roof in Buenos Aires, or a Dominican boy bathing in a bucket.

This book is a testimony to the evolution of a photographer and his hallmark style.
