These pictures were taken as a kind of "back-to-the-roots-photos" in the way of point and shoot, that means only one focal length, no zoom, no filters. I never had thought that this way of taking pictures would produce efficient photos. They are made with a simple smartphone and for me it works perfectly. Sometimes it is better to make one step back to make one step forward.
