Short description

Quarterly Collection of Sport Photography 2.8 is the first publication entirely dedicated to sport photography. It is not a magazine. You will not find any sport news in it. We like to think about it as a completely new artwork which will bring you the tension and competitive spirit of athletes and the joy of sport all over the world.

Extended description

Sport

Imagine to wake up one day and set a boat down on the ocean. Your goal is to row cross the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific too. On a rowing boat. Draw your boat on any map and you may get breathless. Imagine waves' fury during your journey. Continuous splashes and great fatigue.
Alex Bellini is this. He set his boat down on the ocean. (Read more) Sport

Imagine to wake up one day and set a boat down on the ocean. Your goal is to row cross the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific too. On a rowing boat. Draw your boat on any map and you may get breathless. Imagine waves' fury during your journey. Continuous splashes and great fatigue.
Alex Bellini is this. He set his boat down on the ocean.

Now look at your map and trace a line between Los Angeles and New York. 5200 km. A huge distance to run.
This is the LA-NY Footrace. How much sweat, how many blisters, how many heartbeats, stand up and run without rest .
Lao-Tzu wrote: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step"
Alex Bellini is this also. He made his first step.

He is a symbolic athlete. No matters if you run a marathon or play an amateur basketball match; if you defy the strongest rugby team in the world, what matters is that you set your boat down on the ocean, or you make your first step. That's the way dreams come true.
