Passion & Power
This trip changed my Life...
It's where I discovered friendship, where I really understood how far my passion for photography went, where I met the most Powerful Human Beings and where I had the chance to win my first Place with this amazing image of this incredible woman at the finish line.
This image gave me the chance to win first prize trip back to Lanzarote and stay with my child in the amazing Sport Hotel Club La Santa. Thanks to my wonderful friends Mauro and Diego for making it possible. Ooooh so amazingly greatful!!!!
Thank you Canary Islands, LaVoz and Sportraining for publishing this beautiful article and for your letting me discover your Paradise!!!
LANZAROTE
SPAIN • GRAN CANARIE
dark...peaceful...
only a few hours of sleep...
I've been giving all of myself on this trip...
wanted to create some gorgeous memories...
wanted to surpass my limits...
that warm wind that whispers words of beauty through your hair...
that makes your skin shiver like a lover does...
this is Lanzarote,
a place that fills your eyes and heart with beauty every single second of the day
there is no day when this place does not get inside your skin
the nothingness
the desert
the clouds
the dark formations of a forgotten hell
and then...
white sands and crystalline waters...
I really fell in L.O.V.E.
the people
maybe is the amazing energy and vibes these athletes radiate ...
maybe it's just it...
the charm of Lanzarote

Aspettare ed ascoltare la musica che porteranno gli Alisei: ormai ho imparato la pazienza che questi ragazzi e ragazze custodiscono nell’attesa dell’onda giusta durante le gare. Conosco la tensione che un atleta può contenere prima del grande “show” ma doverla trascinare per giorni... sono solo che da
ammirare. Poi giù di corsa, trasportando a fatica contro l’attrito del vento impetuoso la loro attrezzatura fino al mare, camminando su quei ciotoli lucidi e due secondi dopo... via ... appoggiano il tutto in acqua e il vento li risucchia nel blu. Contrasti di colori contro quel meraviglioso blu intenso... onde e spruzzi e via verso il cielo chi sale più in alto con torsioni e ritorsioni a vela in giù...
assolutamente grandiosi.

I get off the airplane and suddenly there it is:
the most spectacular scenery almost out of a far west, a mix between the Grand Canyon and a trip to the moon.
Immense formations arise as they seem to protect the hinterland from I do not know what mysterious being. Beautiful white buildings, as immense beehives, emerge between rocks in all their glory and splendor. Then you slide into the sea and you finally understand why everything is hidden between rocks.A side-splitting wind is an understatement.
I don't think I've ever seen a picture of Pozo except for the classical images of wind blades behind the shots of Windsurfers trying to reach the sky with their sails.From those images I thought of it being very industrial looking, but I was wrong.
Beautiful colorful little houses arise next to each other, overlooking a deep blue sea: this is Pozo ... Forcefully caressed by a wind that has no pity, almost a ghost town, Pozo is filled only by silence and passion for this incredible sport.Sit and wait listening to the sounds that will bring the Alisei winds: I learned to recognize by now the patience that these boys and girls hold inside by having to wait for right wave during races. I know the tension that an athlete can cherish before the big "show" but having to drag it on and on for days ... it is to be admired.
And then...time to run, carrying their equipment with difficulty against the winds rushing to the sea, walking on those shiny pebbles, and two seconds later ... ... the wind sucks them into the Blue .
Shades of colors against the deep blue waters... waves and splashes... and then...jumps towards heaven...and let's see who climbs higher with twists and loops with sales down ...I look at them stunned ... stunned I keep shooting ... and it is absolutely amazing.
