Just outside of my new home in Nottingham, there is this closed Chinese shop I think is very photogenic.

This is my favorite building in Málaga. The building is abandoned since 2010. It is situated at one of the most transited points of the city.

In 1986 it has  been constructed by the architects José Luis González and Juan Salabert Sancho.

This weekend I went up to the mountain with the teleférico de Benalmádena.

Last week I went to Torremolinos, one of the most touristic places of the Costa del Sol, to look for inspiration for my project about places before the storm of tourism. Once it used to be a poor fishing village, before the boom of the 1950s tourism turned it into the first and at the time most important tourism resort of the Costa del Sol. The very cold and immense  urbanization  along the beach have impressed me.

Nice view onto the sea on the platform in Torrox. I dedicate this picture to the freedom I have been given with the Artist in Residency in Malaga I am in at the moment. It is nice to be able to work in what I most like, instead of needing to do commercial jobs. Photography is the perfect medium  for me because I love to discover new places and meet all kinds of different people.

When I took this picture I was told that this should be the following to the ladies. So there it is, and i think it fits very well!!

I was very happy when I found this spot. I had passed it several times before, but always by bike. I like walking too because I experience places more intensively.

It is almost a natural mon0chrome spot, but what really makes it dynamic is the red sign just in the middle of it. I was very thankful for it to be there.

It was an interesting trip going to Torrox beach. Actually I had in mind going to this little idyllic town called Torrox, I had looked up in the internet, but then I accidently went off the bus one station too early and found myself in the middle of a “Las Vegas” made for German tourists. If Martin Parr would make movies, i would have definitely felt like being right in the middle of one. This place was flooded of artificiality, all waiters talking German, typical offers like tapas and sangria 2 for 1 written in fluorescent letters. At the beginning i was quite frustrated because of being there, because i really hate these touristic impersonal places, but it is a good and funny training for the mind and makes you thing about the absurdity of life. Thanks for that Torrox Beach.

At the end i found this spot at the beach I really liked and without my getting lost I wouldn´t have it in my collection of Malaga pictures.
