Gaby Herbstein's Huella Ecologica 2 photo series instantly brings me back to my childhood and all the fantastical things I used to conjure up to keep me occupied. From dragons to robots and capturing far away stars, Gaby Herbstein's subjects make me feel like he has dipped into my mind and pulled out these long-lost fantasies.

Of course, the beauty of Gaby Herbstein's work is that he brings many children's imaginations to life. I really like the crafty feel behind each fantastical creation.
