MC:
I’ve always tended to be curious about things and I’ve
always had too many things that I love to do. I’ve always loved
photography. My father had dozens of cameras, mountains of
gear and was a great photographer. Everything I’ve learned
comes from him being his apprentice. He loved to talk about light
and composition and those are the lessons that stick with me to
this day. But I left photography for a period in my life. In graduate
school I was obsessed with creating mathematical models of the
causes of war. I once decided that a lasagna could have any
favor you wanted it to, so I set off to make every strange variation
I could think of. The red curry panang lasagna was surprisingly
good, though the one made with lemongrass and coconut milk
was a bit of a disaster. I’m quite a good Scrabble player and
decent at chess. I’ve also had my paintings (brushes, paint and
canvas) represented at a gallery in Washington, DC. Of course,
my greatest passion is traveling and exploring. I love to go to a
new country and really get to know it and lists of things to see
before I die are of no interest. To me listening to the little old
Italian ladies gossip about the neighbors outside my window late
at night is far more interesting than seeing any statue or painting.

What do you hope to convey most with your photos?
MC:
In that way, what’s most important to me is actually putting you
into the game with my photographs. I am not a photojournalist and
the images I create are far from ideal for newspapers and sports
magazines. If you look at my photos you’ll notice that there’s a
very tight crop. I want you there. I want you to feel what the player
is feeling. I want you to have a sense of what the game is like. It
doesn’t matter to me that you can’t tell that Adolfto or Facundo is
putting in the winning goal at some important tournament. To me
it’s not about relaying information, but rather conveying emotion.

If you could follow one polo player around the world,
who would it be and what would you hope to capture through your
lens?
MC:
This is rather easy to answer. I think the most interesting
players are those who have enormous raw talent but have yet to
master it completely—those who are on the threshold of greatness.
Right now I think Nico Pieres is very interesting to watch and so
is Hilario Ulloa. In one moment they will do the most amazing
things but seconds later make foolish mistakes. Inconsistency is
interesting. Recklessness is interesting. Growth is interesting. I
think that the process of potential being realized would make for
an extremely interesting project.
