What he likes
He likes people, stories, places, and moments. To him, these elements are the essence of life's rich tapestry. He believes that behind every scene or face, there is a story waiting to be discovered. Sometimes, it's his own unique perception that paints the narrative, while at other times, the individuals he encounters graciously share their tales and emotions.
Robert Capa said...
"If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't close enough"
Getting close to people and listening to their stories is essential, as it allows to connect on a deeper level, fostering understanding, empathy, and a shared sense of humanity.
Friends
"He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare, and he who has one enemy will meet him everywhere."

A passion
Rugby!
Sandro approached this fantastic sport when his son started to play at school. There he learnt the passion, and the sacrifice, the values and the spirit.
He needed those emotions, they always felt his. It was love at first sight.
