New melody in C pentatonic minor
I didn’t plan to, but after choosing, almost randomly, a musical scale and a software instrument, and strumming a few notes, something reminiscent of Japan and Orient and Far Away came out, and what I eventually created is a track that I baptised “Japanese Summer Nights”. It is one of the first pieces that I…

Holiday trip with Velvia: minimal?
For a working photographer, choosing the cameras and the lenses to pack for a holiday isn’t easy (the mere proximity of those two words should raise an alarm). The possibility of being able to do everything seems to feel the need of translating into the obligation of doing everything: why then preparing for stills only…

Riomaggiore with Portra 160
Riomaggiore is a pleasant town to visit. Since we are all sinners, we don’t deserve a pleasant, relaxing, tranquil walk wandering through the narrow picturesque streets… at least, this is what I must have thought when I decided to photograph it with two cameras, one of which being a not-so-heavy-but-certainly-not-light-either Bronica SQ-A loaded with Porta…

I have found them in the…

A short walk in Newcastle with my Bronica SQ-A
It was August 2012 and all I had was my Bronica SQ-A with the Zenzanon 80/2.8 PS and Portra 400. These are just four photos from that day, but I think they capture some of the local mood.

Parked vans that tell the story of a life
These photos of parked land vehicles (camper vans, motor homes) tell (or, rather, let the viewer imagine) a whole life story, that of the owner. The photos are, technically, extremely simple, and just frame a detail, unconventional and unexpected, and present the things as they are and were in front of me, the photographer.

Gli alberi di Piazza Napoleone a Lucca
È una delle piazze più belle d’Italia. La bellezza deriva dagli edifici e dagli alberi; mi è sembrato naturale fotografarli assieme.

iPhone 5 vs Olympus XA and Kodak Ektar
While in Venice (Italy) I shot the same scene with my iPhone 5 (HDR and filters) and Olympus XA loaded with Ektar. I propose here the comparison, while noting that I have adjusted in Photoshop the Ektar file only.

Vicopisano by day (or evening?)
I thought this scene could look better in an evening scene: I wanted to give highlight to the streetlamps. Photoshop then! In Both cases: Canon EOS 1n, EF 70-200 f/4L IS, Acros 100
