Why do you photograph cans?

I was never able to answer my mother
when, back from my first holidays alone,
I showed her my pictures.

It was around 1990 and I was on this earth for 19 years.
It’s like when you fall in love, most of the things you do are stupid,
like taking picture of cans.

And I think it’s about love, my feeling for the photography,
but one of those who born after years of fleeting dates,
sometimes going out together, yet without any promise.

And in the middle all that unsaid.

Then the unforeseen comes,
and you stay with her, for hours and hours,
and finally you get why you were looking for the cans.

Rugby was my unforeseen, around 2012 when I was invited to narrate, through images, the vicissitudes of children and parents.

We now spend time together regularly.
I try to tell the children’s rugby and besides the cans
I added the beaches, urban environments and other stories
