"Torino 2006" for me was my first experience as a photographer accredited to an event of this magnitude. I leave work at lunchtime and in the evening are in the middle of the opening ceremony in Turin.

The Paralympics host disabled sports a couple of weeks after the Olympics. Those who initially all call "normal ones". After a week in the city will not feel more that definition.
