Stop Traveler
"heus tu viator lasse que mi praeteriss"
"o thou weary traveler who passeth before me (without stopping thee)"

Forgetfulness could resemble death as much as memory could compare with life. Immortality is reached through it as oblivion fades away.
But even death is forgotten and goes unnoticed, we pass before it without realizing it, seldom own and largely the other. It is so daily that we do not pay attention or perhaps the daily life is so absorbing that it clears the landscape making invisible what does not belong to him. But when death is forgotten, life is indifference. Detente traveler is a series of admiration for all those people who do not forget their loved ones, who continue to guide them, caring and looking for them to follow their path and to have their memory part of the present.

In the pursuit of professional passions, I am a physicist, an engineer and finally a chef and photographer, a passionate reader and committed to constant learning. Redefining the world through the eyes of my son and discovering me full as father and husband. Self-employed cook, lover of the smells, sounds and colors of the kitchen. Brother of two women, son, friend, music lover and natural musician. Traveler awake and asleep. Having jumped from one restaurant to another without much pleasure, trying to find his own way through photography. Photography has allowed me to rediscover the world, specifically the hidden places of my city and the redefinition of the public space for the people who live it. I seek to capture the appropriation of urban space in everyday life. It has also allowed me to rediscover myself personally, to find myself as passionate about the art, the forms, the lights and figures that the lens allows to absorb. This opportunity would allow me to learn from a thousand-year-old culture of which I would be very fortunate if I could try to immerse myself in it so that, from the other's perspective, I could redefine space, people, life and everyday life.
