Christmas is here. It’s time to think about the past year and see if we had been nice or naughty… but I’m always a nice boy! 😉 I’m so good that this year I received the Claus House Seal of Approval for my 29 years of Christmas photographs! In time for the opening of my new Italian studio! And here as usual my Christmas picture to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a fantastic 2024. I wish you to live in a free world where all the totalitarian dictators, real and in spirit, will be sent out of our way so we can create freely! Have a great Christmas and see you all in the new year! Ciao!
My traditional Christmas photograph is here. In the most strange year I ever had I felt the need to keep alive the hope of freedom, to fight in my humble way the tyrants trying to cancel our faith and our traditions. Merry Christmas my friends, and a wonderful next year full of rebellion to tyranny and regained freedom for all of us! Just click on the image if you like to see it enlarged. . See you next year my friends.

Obviously my wishes for this year are at the bottom of the post… so if you want a nice year… read it all!!! 😉 1995 This was my first year as professional. I opened my studio in July 1994 and I started to really work and promote myself in 1995. I always had a passion for reconstructing ambiences and mood so also for Christmas I went in that direction and realized a model of a mountain lodge. It was all made in 4″x5″ film with a Cambo Master Plus. I printed the picture to attach to the card in 4″x5″ and you can see here under the black shade the original image and, clear, the crop I used. The reason to realize a larger image and then crop was to have more depth […]
