The night Paper Today saw the light

When last January I started taking photos at the print-room, I never for a second imagined that this project would take me to such a beautiful end. I love photography and I love written words and, one of my dreams has always been to able to put them together in a publication. Paper Today is, in a way, my first successful attempt to such goal.

It’s funny to now look back and realise that it really wasn’t something planned at all. It happened because a friend introduced me to the people at García y Correa (GyC); it happened because Pedro Martín, logistics manager at GyC, got interested in the idea, showed me his passion for the business and introduced me to the people at TFPrint. It happened because Ricardo García de Viedma, (TF Print Manager), loves to show the magic behind printing a newspaper; it happened because all workers at both, GyC and TFPrint, welcomed me warmly into their daily nightly routines.

As a result of all those believes and passions, the night of August 15th, 2012, Paper Today was printed, between the Daily Mail and The Sun, as if it really was another one of the twenty something papers printed that night. These images, taken by Omar García while it was happening, show my happiest face.

Thanks all for your passion and your help to make this dream come true. Forever grateful!
