Before June comes to an end, I want to post this still life to celebrate diversity in every sense of the word.

Thanks to everybody who for the last 52 years have fought for equality, legality and acceptance. Growing up in Barcelona all those years ago, I never thought that one day I could see so many changes and be totally open about my personal choices.

But sadly it’s not over yet, let’s keep fighting…

Very happy to see one of my lampshades seating next to one of my favourite fabrics by Josef Frank @svenskttenn. Thanks @_mister_g_ for such a great commission!

My friends from @photographicsv are launching the first edition of the Star Photobook Dummy Award, an annual prize organized by Photographic Social Vision Foundation in collaboration with three publishing houses: Phree, @edicionesposibles and @editorial_rm

The Award is born as a tribute to my dear friend Inés Casals (1970-2020), art director, graphic designer, who left us in 2020. With this initiative, launched on 8th april, the day she was born, we all want to honor her memory and cherish the legacy of her work, her creativity and her love for photobooks.

Inés has been a guiding star for many people, on both a professional and personal level. She was a passionate graphic designer and a photobook lover. Her approach to each project was enthusiastic, curious, optimistic and supportive.

“No te preocupes, yo te ayudo” (don’t worry, I will help you) she would often say to friends or photographers stuck in some sort of dilemma, and she always put the focus on the “I”, meaning that you could count on her. She was always there for all of us!

Her love for beauty, form and color was paramount in her life and work. Her affectionate attention to detail and her empathetic attitude were unique traits together with the originality of her ideas and the love that permeated her creativity.

The Star Photobook Dummy Award wants to honor her legacy by offering a photographer the opportunity to publish a photobook with full support in the final process of optimization and publication. Always with the attention, passion and care that defined Inés in her life and work.

Inés you are a star, and this prize is forever yours.

Having read the loveliest story from @jet_painter about how he adopted Luna, a rescued dog from Montenegro, I just realised that after all these months I still haven’t published a picture of Henry, our Romanian rescued, who we adopted in May.

When we met him, he was very shy, shaking, and spent all his journey hidden in the rear of the car, sick (literally) with fear. After a few days he started to trust us, and although there is still tons of training to do (a lot...) with heaps of patience, we finally know that Henry is settled, very happy with us and we are both very proud of him.

Honestly, we are thrilled to have given him a home and, most importantly, love y mucho cariño.
