To keep the mind awake, specially in lock downs, books are a great tool. This image is inspired by a Buzzati’s novel. Not the right book to read right now, being a little bit too much kafkian, but a book that came to my mind this week and inspired this picture years ago. . . . See you next week… and we will see if the tide brought something useful…

The Covid anxiety is back. Media, here in Italy, push continuous news about the cases count and create panic. The numbers don’t add up, but who cares, all they care about is creating enough panic to justify the socialist government grab of power. In this environment I was thinking at the good old days when the news came from newspapers, just once a day. . . . See you next time! Still 8 weeks to go…

What are your passions? Are you ready to give them up? Mine is aviation and I hope I will be able to continue with it. In a couple of weeks there will be the most important election in the world history. The world had never been so divided between two opposite philosophies. The choice you will make can mean you will lose the possibility to follow your passions. Think about that. . . . See you next time, in the meantime stay free!

Tales and Tiles! What a difference between them! Never had back pain for a tale… . . . See you next week when the balcony will be done and I’ll have all the time possible to concentrate on tales instead of tiles!

Sometime we do something that can change our believes. In my case I was already discussing a lot about the use of digital photography, but this picture reinforced in me the idea that we have to stop to blindly follow the technical evolution and start to wonder if we made the right choice. . . . #9 done, 11 to go! See you soon!

Sometime a cheap plastic camera can be a lot of fun. This camera has character created by all the defects of a cheap camera put together! . . Here some images taken with Ilford HP5 and developer in Ilfotec HC. Click on them to enlarge. . . See you next time… perhaps with a little more serious camera!

It’s not just that I’m an old dinosaur…

I had been asked many times why I still use film for some of my projects. Sometime the fact that I’m an old dinosaur was implied, but is not just that. The fact is that I really like film photography for many reasons and not just for the better aesthetic for some situations. Here my main ten reasons, you can read just the titles or you can open the video below and hear the complete explanation I give: It’s simple Better learning curve More control Film means reality Visible without tools Variety of formats and cameras Aesthetic Value It’s a slow process It’s analogue! If you want to see a comparison between film and digital, you can read a couple of articles I wrote some time ago: Digital Fuji Acros vs Ilford FP4 Film Fuji Acros Digital vs Fuji Acros Film Until the next time!

Are we losing the sense of beauty? . . The sense of beauty is what makes us human but we are forgetting that sometimes.
