"An object or body from a common look, if observed with real attention, they turn into something sacred. The camera can reveal the secrets that the eye or mind can not grasp, everything disappears except the one that is focused with the objective. The photograph is an exercise in observation and the result is a stroke of luck: the thousands of negatives that fill several drawers of my study are very few exceptional ones. The camera is a simple, even a fool to use it, the challenge is to make it through the combination of truth and beauty called art. It s a particularly spiritual search. Seeking truth and beauty in the transparency of an autumn leaf in perfect shape of a snail on the beach in the back corner of a female in the holding of an old tree trunk and also in other forms of escaping reality. Sometimes, while working on an image in my darkroom, makes its appearance in the soul of a person, the emotion of an event olessenza life of an object, and then my heart overflows with happiness and free crying, I can not help it. "

from "Portrait in Sepia" by Isabel Allende
