XV Encuentros Abiertos de Fotografia

I am delighted to have been able to attend this year's Encuentros Abiertos de Fotografia, an internationally acclaimed photography festival in Buenos Aires. Present were fantastic photographers from all corners of the world, including the Norwegian Bjorn Sterri, who dedicates his life to documenting his family. I had a wonderful time learning all about his passion for photography and for life. The two images included here are from his series "Memories from Water."
