The harsh reality in Guerrero describes his photography is wrapped up by the quality of the fine gray and measured compositions. However prevails the criticism, the rebellion and the disapproval of an old warrior unwilling to surrender. As Guerrero said , "... the worst thing that could happen would be, that a banker buys me a photo to hang it in the lobby of a bank. This would mean that I have failed to express myself. "
