The Bookkeeper of El Retiro

In a quiet corner of Madrid’s El Retiro Park, just steps from the rose garden, an elderly bookseller becomes one with his world of words. Surrounded by towers of worn volumes, he reads in silence — a living monument to a slower, more thoughtful era. Captured in striking black and white, this image celebrates the beauty of analog life, the poetry of the everyday, and the enduring soul of stories shared in the open air.
