Pablo and I talk about the work that he has been focused on the last few months ecpecially his biweekly photo newsletter called Ojos.

He also explains to us the meaning behind the word, Ojos, and the inspiration to put this series together. Then we talk in depth about his love for photojournalism and cameras.
