Mikel Aramendia - Nearby Places

Oct 06, 2010

I like going out with my camera because it takes me to places or situations I would not experience without a reason. Somehow, photography is an excuse that has become a purpose. I dont mind going to a forest, a mountain, a desert or a waste ground. I like exploring the invisible boundaries of human landscape and its relationship with wild nature.

I must thank photography (and photographers) to teach me a deep understanding of my surrounding, learning to look at it and discovering its multiple shades. It has given me a wider perspective to attend and comprehend cities explosion in detriment of natural preservation.

This is a selection of photographs taken in my province, Navarre, during this year 2010 and are part of my ongoing series »Nearby Places«.
