Manuel Pompeia
Born and raised by Europe's South West coast, I took my first photo with an Agfamatic 110 when I was 12. The camera became since then, my only inseparable object.
After 13 years working in large private sector organisations and more recently managing the will of the four corners of our world, I seek to contribute to a more humanly sustainable development.
Inspired by the kindness of strangers, the natural beauty of our planet, and the footprint of the people making our world, a place for everyone to live better.
Attended the International Center of Photography in NY.
Some of my favourite quotes:
"Every one of us is, in the cosmic perspective, precious. If a human disagrees with you, let him live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another." - Carl Sagan
"We are not taught to be thinkers, but reflectors of our culture. Let's teach our children to be thinkers." - Jacque Fresco
"Le véritable voyage de découverte ne consiste pas à chercher de nouveaux paysages mais à avoir de nouveaux yeux." Marcel Proust
