SUPERHEROES ARE HUMAN BEINGS TOO

Superheroes are children of myths and legends, perhaps some of them demigods. They possess incredible strengths and powers. Sometimes innate qualities and attributes that make them different from human beings. Their mission is to protect, teach, entertain, and fight crime; but occasionally they are transgressors and villains. They are symbols of disorder and destruction and inheritors of evil and chaos. Others represent values of kindness, innocence, and optimism. Some like to descend from Olympus where they live to the central areas of cities to be photographed, touched, and admired by the people who walk by. However, Heroes take breaks too. Tired of the efforts to make the world a better or worst place, they eat, sleep, rest and pray almost like everyone else. I decided to follow and photograph them in those moments when they abandon themselves to their needs, appearing as simple human beings. Then I realized that they have feelings, insecurities, hopes and fears like you and me.
