What I see is Lluis?s work as presented in today?s context. And knowing the guy Lluis, I perceive that his change in visualisation owes nothing to anything deliberate - Lluis shoots according to the circumstances, and faithfully reports on i) what he sees, ii) what he feels ii)how he can achieve a testimony. This is how I sense the whole thing (think of the Ferrari shot, the car is immaterial, the encourter with the shopping cart tells me Lluis is a vigilant observer of our times. Time will tell, and I don?t know who is right and who is wrong here. I would certainly not like to start a fight or a quarrel - better I believe that this thread is the first one in ages when we discuss the merrits of photographs other than in terms of like/don?t like, and the soul of photography. I?m thankful to Lluis and you to have brought this up.
