My name is Hernán, I do documentaries. I've been collaborating with Greenpeace for ten years now. During this time I've had the chance to work and mature as a professional and take part in such a noble task which I adhere to, which is the protection of the environment.

Thanks to Greenpeace I've got to know infinite amount of places, people and cultures. Not always these images where pleasant. My job, above all other, is to show, via my camera, the destruction of the planet and the injustices human beings commit.

This pain and desolation is my motivation to keep on fighting in order to change this reality. I'm a witness and I point out our responsiblities. I spread the word. This is what I do every time I put my camera on my shoulder. Knowing that you are there, sharing the same ideal and willing to participate, encourages me to keep on with the hard work.

Alone, we are only a drop of water, but together we are an ocean. I am convinced that as one we will change the way in which humans interact with the environment. No abuses, in equilibrium and harmony. Future generations deserve to enjoy of this wonderful planet, as much as we do.

Just a Hello Hernan, from Holly (Hairdresser extrodenaire)(Not).
I hope you have seen some more images of the beautiful world that you will never forget while you have been on the southern ocean this year. I'm sure you have captured the best of them on film, if not on memory.
Good to see your picture. (I still prefer the mohalk hairstyle though). xx
