Colours


The amazing thing about sports is that it has the ability to bring people together or far appart. I was in the middle of Germany's and Spain's party, in Vienna, before the big game. Everywhere I was, I could feel the energy of fans. The greatest thing about it was that both countries celebrated together. I don´t particularly enjoy football, but I was caught by the spirit of the game for a few days...

It is a precious moment to walk into someone's house and be part of it. Sometimes, just by admiring the beauty of gestures, I felt the dedication and the and the magic of being part of faith. Here, I was invited to take some pictures by a budist monk. The first monastery I had ever entered. He shared it's mistery with me. The following day, I searched and searched the same place and was never able to find it. I think it disappears when it doesn't want to be found, as all powerful places do. Instead, I ended up inside another monastery, at a budist ceremony, among hundreads of monks. A moment I'll never forget... so deep, introspective and full of stenght that I didn't want to take any picture of it. The magic stays only in my heart... as the smell of yak butter candles that gave every place the dimness of faith, secrecy and dedication.

On my way

Still Tibet... The sky is made of cotton pieces that seem to be falling on you, the earth is endless in its greens and browns and the ansiety to get to my destination doesn't exist. I was trying to breath this all in and keep the feeling in my heart... and I did it. Each time I look at this photos, it all comes back as if I'm there right now. I was on my way to the highest salt lake in the whole world!Can you believe I was at 5000 mts high?
