Some moments are too extraordinary to disappear.
Roberto Destarac
Every photograph begins long before the shutter.It begins with the patience to wait for a moment......that will never happen the same way again.
Roberto Destarac
I photograph the moments before the world changes. Volcanic eruptions. Sunrises and sunsets. Atmospheric events that exist once and then are gone.
My work is an act of witness.
