My name is Juan Hanze but my family and friends call me Pepe. I was born and raised in downtown Guayaquil Ecuador. I was not much into sports so I spend a lot of days watching through my room window what happened outside on the streets. At that time 1980-90's I use to go out by myself to explore the streets. At 14 I found a 35mm canon in my mom's closet, and I started shooting film mostly at home. I think my photography is the result of my childhood memories and the person I became when I met my wife. Streets tell stories and being able to document them is what I enjoy the most. At 18 I learned to develop film and print in a darkroom, at 21 one I made an improvised darkroom in my bathroom. Now Ido only monochrome digital photography with my Leica.
