projects of atmosphere

2011-11-01T16:21:00.003+01:00

Usually people shooting landscapes, portraits of people, interesting things and animated objects, this time (with my Lca russian camera) I wanted to try to photograph colors and moving objects, pratically the nothing....
Light as a dialogue between colors and the environment. Like a tool that unveil the invisible, that corrects defects. Lights as magic, emotion, obscurity, dream...

viva la vida!

2011-10-23T16:41:00.003+02:00

have been very busy in the opening of my new studio "space gallery", where architecture and art come together (Im organizing the spring events). Now I m back here and I hope to find the right emotions to be able to make new analog photos in this cold winter!

hereafter

2011-01-15T16:58:00.007+01:00

last night I saw the movie "hereafter" directed by Clint Eastwood, wich I recommend to all those are curious about exploration of death.

back home

2011-01-06T17:17:00.003+01:00

from Austria before Christams, I visited friends in Pordenone, beautiful city in the cultural movement; I was able to photograph the beautiful new Verdi theater restored.
But cold, ice and snow did not allow an optimal development of my polaroids, but I really like the result too much!

wanna dance with my dish-washer?

2010-12-24T17:49:00.003+01:00

if yes, put ur roll film into the cutlery basket of ur dish washer, add regular detergent and set to a normal cycle. Once the cycle is finished be sure to rinse the film in clean cold water afterwards thoroughly. Film has a chemical emulation that needs to be fixed by cooling.
With ur rinsed film at the ready u need to find a dark room, make sure that there are no light leaks because now u need to pull the film out of the roll to blow-dry it. It will take about 10 minutes of blow drying until the film goes from slimy and wet to perfectly dry.
That is what u need it to be like before loading in ur camera.
These photos & colors are the result of half cycle of normal dich-washer!

photos negative

2010-12-11T15:11:00.002+01:00

sometimes you have to wait a long time to get the right photo in your mind, sometimes with luck, you can do the right photo instantly! In both moments you have with you a camera....

Is difficult

2010-06-07T09:14:00.001+02:00

to think of fun in the pool when ur body does not respond....

cries, the world is destroying itself, I can't see the sky, the moon in the sky, I'm exspecting a goodbye, I know my limits but love never die, only you, it is difficult to forget, dear photography!

look inside me

2010-03-18T14:32:00.003+01:00

I m a passenger of this adventure, I took the last train of an unknown journey, I decided to take it alone, I decided not ask help from anyone, peraphs it will be a mistake, but I want to live now and you?

l'ultima luna

2010-03-10T10:56:00.013+01:00

What is our limit? the seasons pass without a trace in the sky clouds of evening draw shadows on the ground, I m alone and abandoned in the desert land of feelings, and when death of the day comes, I watch the horizon in the silence.

the tower of Siloam

2010-03-06T18:32:00.003+01:00

how often you leave, the candles are still lit, only the winds in my hands, I standing but im afraid to fall.......

Back home

2010-02-24T16:54:00.004+01:00

after spending days in Austria, monotonous work, snow, gray skies all day, darkness and artificial light, revise the sea, the barren hills where the wind blows away the boredom and shouts strenght, you feel reborn.... welcome home!

Umbria my love!

2010-02-14T13:46:00.006+01:00

walking in history, smell the aroma of cooking, look at the endless expanse of hills, castless and churches that blend with the space, narrow streets of brick, olive trees and vines secular guardians of the territtory as an army.... that is Umbria!

The great cold

2010-02-03T15:07:00.006+01:00

the sea behind me evokes the last day of life on earth. I do not remember such a long period of cold. The temperature did not rise above O degrees Celtius.
In the house, the cold freezes my body and my mind, I prepare a hot tea, the flames of fireplace are illuminating the room. I look outside and the white snow is falling slowly. The wind makes it fly up and down,then lands on the beach, a beautiful show but not wanted...

Undisclosed desires

2010-01-27T14:34:00.007+01:00

raining, raining, raining, they are 7 days of rain, where did the sun? My mood is like this picture, stripped of life, I see around me only a gray - purple sadness, where are you my love? Only you love light up my life! The power of love also dissolves the ice!
The historic buildings, monuments are without expression, the way of the sea is only a memory, the green hills, the yellow fields, the blue of the sky are just a memory that will come back stronger than ever in a few months! I'm ready!

Light my fire

2010-01-17T11:26:00.007+01:00

walking on the beach, sometimes going to see strange things, heared within himself the desire to go far away where the sky is always blue, where the heart is light, where people great you and ask you are you?

Feel the breath, the dream becomes realty, the dream wakes up in the morning under the dust of books, take a coffee, the window that hides teh nature, where am I? Im alive or dead?

Please light a fire that's inside me!!

So if

2010-01-07T08:42:00.005+01:00

you cant make your mind up,
Well never get started.
And I don't wanna wind up
Being parted, broken-hearted.
So if you really love me,
Say yes.
But if you don't, dear, confess.
And please don't tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

Please don't

2009-12-24T09:20:00.005+01:00

stop the rain......
in the words that you already know,
in my thoughts,
you hear my sighs,
on windy days,
on rainy days,
in winter sea,
in my dreams,
I ll find you.....

I recently did

2009-12-15T15:40:00.009+01:00

a photo report of a new production of one of the most famous Italian architects, Fuksas, the structure designed by two boxes included in each other and almost 26 meters high, the main building that is the Church is presented as a concrete monolith of pure geometry, a box into the box. Elements of a truncated pyramid-shaped connecting the two boxes creating a series of openings between the two walls that bring light inside.

Happiness only real when shared

2009-12-06T17:08:00.014+01:00

walks the earth, no phone, no people, no pool, freedom in my mind, lost home, no internet, alone with books, hear the nature, abandoned caravan in the country, alone with polaroids, alone in my world.....

part of there photos I took ispiration from this beautiful movie:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOrNWZD8cX0&feature=related

I started a

2009-11-27T11:31:00.004+01:00

dark phase in my life where the sun is hidden behind clouds deep, where the blue of the sky is only a distant memory, where the smile and the greeting of the people enters less and less in my soul. Why?

when I

2009-11-17T10:00:00.006+01:00

think of autumn, the brown and yellow leaves of the trees, I see the gray sky, the fog in the morning, faint lines of people walking at night, the loneliness and anxiety of my mind where the mystery of the dark merges with nature

Fogna, summer 2009

2009-10-30T11:27:00.025+01:00

published a collection of photos of us "fogna people" and of a beautiful past summer, hoping that the next is better!

If you

2009-10-21T10:07:00.005+02:00

arrive at the pier "la rotonda" and  walking for 300 meters on the left, in the bottom of the cliff, you're on the spot "il molo" in the city center. Here 10 years ago, I discovered surfing, I saw  in water two local historians like Simone and Pupo, and every time I come home, I hope there are  waves to make a great session.
I love so much this spot because it always gives me good emotions, the ground is sandy and never disappoints me!

temperatures are

2009-10-17T18:17:00.002+02:00

quickly changing. Now it's cold. The cold winds from the North fill the morning and evening. The colors here are those of the winter but I still want to think of summer blue skies and sun that warm our bodies....only one weeks ago I made this pola with manipulation in an afternoon of sunshine and blue, welcome visual art!

when I

2009-10-10T15:16:00.010+02:00

open my eyes clearly see the color of life, clearly I see the sky in high shine and a multitude of life around me, walking..... I feel my feet disappear into the sand, the beach opens up before me, I see the waves, the sea .....
Do you want join me a basketball game?

Sometimes

2009-10-05T10:49:00.006+02:00

When I look  these pictures I shot them in b and w. I think of past memory, but I made them yesterday morning, on a beautiful sunny day with a Polaroid of the 1960

That is

2009-09-28T14:17:00.004+02:00

all I want, the sky, the waves, the love,
the rising sun... solitary;
and you my only one, the peace;
the shore is to the sea... solitary;
and in the end well'be....

sunset, full of colours

2009-09-20T09:52:00.007+02:00

A building that is an identity card. Full of distinguishing features, harmonious elements that exhilarate and enrapture ans speak of an easy architecture in wich everything makes sense and then wrong-foots us everywhere we look.
Spaces that match, combine, form a sequence, each providing acces to another, and light and colour in a perfect chromatic-material union, with skylights everywhere, and mirros that dilate perceived space and make things brighter

soft tones

2009-09-15T09:43:00.003+02:00

there is nobody on the beach, finally after many months I feel it mine! recognizes his natural essence, the smell of the sea and the waves, I look around and observe what man has left in his summer passage, many, many things but my eyes and my camera only see the sunset which is always amazing!

sunday morning, waves, friends.... and pinhole shot!

2009-09-08T09:10:00.007+02:00

Agata is still not a surfer but I know, she will one day, now is a lovely baby!

welcome september!

2009-09-03T10:29:00.004+02:00

I like it because september is a month where the weather changing quickly, changing from sun, rain, clouds, you can breathe the air of the summer but you can feel that autumn comes, a few people on the beach, and is an ideal time for taking photos and surfing!

Blogoversary

2009-08-28T10:57:00.007+02:00

It's been a year of the blog, now has a definite form but at the same time seeking new results of films with vintage cameras growing every day. Thank you all for following the blog and your comments are an encouragement for me! Luis

always nice

2009-08-20T10:25:00.002+02:00

in these last days of hellish heat of August, I spend the last hours of the day on the beach, a swim in the sea, a pizza with the sunset behind it and the feeling of being a little more fresh.
is always nice finish a day's work with the little light in the evening and the color of the sea ice!

You turn off the sun burns!

2009-08-06T16:04:00.005+02:00

in recent days has been very warm, an unbearable heat, the earth, nature and natural forces are changing and what we do? run behind all that is technological, production must not stop, everything and always in a short time. Perhaps one day come back from where we came.... from earth, the fields of wheat, and we will see the rain in summer and the sun that heats but does not burn you!

historia de un amor

2009-07-24T14:50:00.008+02:00

We met some years ago, it was love at first sight, accompanied me along a mysterious and difficult walk, you have seen me cry and laugh at every birthday, you have seen me sad and happy for the victories and loss that I had done every day . You have filled me gifts that are now part of my treasure. I always feel you close to me, even though sometimes I thought of losing you..... lived every day as the last and every night before sleeping, I thank you for having done share all of this. Thank you!

the boundary of loneliness.

2009-07-12T10:35:00.007+02:00

walking, walking, light is still so far away, the shoulders are tired from the weight of life, the past is like a rock that marks the border of a life lived without living.
The last night, the stars of a silent summer illuminate the path ahead. I have everything but I have nothing, just a music that runs in my mind while traveling on the trail again, the last sunsets, the few joys that I have shared with who truly loved. The Life!

design anatomy

2009-07-01T10:06:00.004+02:00

whereas in the shift from the drawing board to engineering stage there is a magical moment of linguistic transformation: the aesthetics take on a whole new status.
They are two ideologically opposed forces, and the apropriateness of the result lies not in compromise or in the ambiguity of the process, in dried, withered branches, but in achieving the greatest tension out of this dissonance.
The passage from a virtual state (the design) to the actual state (the finished product) responds to laws of basic, profound transformation of image.

the endless summer

2009-06-22T10:14:00.007+02:00

yesterday afternoon after a long time I did surf with my friends in "our home spot", the waves were perfect, we all have fun, after the rain the sun came out unexpectedly, I had some photos to my friends and to remember the arrival of my " new "Polaroid 1000!
Thanks to Mirco and Yan for advice, Massi and David for having shared the enjoy day and Sirpen for photos in digt

snap!

2009-06-14T22:45:00.004+02:00

this composition is only a test. my adored sx 70 model 2 camera no longer works well! she is a Lady of 39 years old, and the colors are not more natural than that I see, even without dark ND filter, and it is not easy to find a technician to solve the problem, maybe there is the end of his story ... I am very sad.

my colors, my life

2009-06-04T11:16:00.003+02:00

After several days of rain is good to review the sun and the colors are strong and bright. The light helps to see the details of nature that has long remained hidden from the rain and fog.
Is like a rebirth, the victory of the sky and the sea! This image helps us to understand all this!

lines, tones, shapes, light

2009-05-29T17:06:00.004+02:00

the good ideas if are not realized they are nothing, you must have the courage and strength to try to make real what we think in our minds and maybe the fear of missing it block us. it's nice finally see in front of our eyes what we had in mind for so long time!

not to be sad dear friend!

2009-05-19T14:23:00.008+02:00

do not be sad, and if you see all dark, think: wonderful, do not you realize how the world is wonderful? do not see the gifts that you have done? nothing seems the sea?
have invented the sun ... wonderful ... but look around you, you say you have nothing, nothing seems the sun, life, love?

welcome sun!

2009-05-11T09:23:00.005+02:00

the week end there was the sun so I had my first day to the sea, after the cold winter is magic and beautiful to be lying under the sun, a book to read, walk on the sand and think that days like this there will be many !

early morning in the city

2009-05-07T09:20:00.004+02:00

I like walking in the city very early in the morning, when there's almost anybody around, I feel like a owner of the city a bit and I have the opportunity to discover things which during the day would not.  I like this picture in perspective, the human presence almost imperceptible, the photo was developed by a negative to positive with x process, makes that a  particular color!

cabins to the sea

last weekend I was able to have much time to take pictures to the sea, in the countryside and in the city, the weather was sunny and pleasant for walking, we were able to relax and enjoy the nature that surrounds us and that gives me the hope to live with harmony in every day

geometric energy

2009-04-30T11:43:00.002+02:00

I like the geometry of the shapes, I love to see 2 colors united and strong but still minimal as the object. the color in this photo looks like a watercolor, I watch the sky and I think to the sky, I watch the white and I think to infinity world.
It's an act of faith:if nature is good, then a design that represents it will be too.Concrete, iron and plastic are exorcised. In the hope of finding new stylistic features, a vegetal approach is being adpted in much architecture and design..

urban regeneration "ex gasometer"

2009-04-26T10:04:00.004+02:00

Urban regeneration once occupied by the structures of the old gasometer which since 1870 provided the gas to the city ', a multistorey car park exchanger.

The new roof and square 'on the sides shaded by perforated sheet metal roofs and' paved with traditional outdoor materials such as sandstone to "opus incertum". This space could occasionally host markets, shows, events, etc.. Given the chance 'to isolate the areas for parking.
I think this is a good re-intervention in the city center.

combination of elements, light, shadows, backlighting,

2009-04-08T11:22:00.004+02:00

the castle was half-empty and a gale-force wind had blown away the haze. the light was truly extraordinary, one of thos rare days that remember me with amazement because "the mountains were so clear u could almost reach out and touch them".
the wind had swept the motionless places clean in an almost descriptive, traditionslly literary way, reinstating the plasticy of castle and lengthening the old street perspectives. a sort of cleansing, atmospheric facelift had taken place, allowing the light to cast strong, clear shadows on bricks.
i was able to see, as i had never before, a whole swate of castle stripped of its daily movement, parked cars, the grinding noise of traffic and machinery. i saw architecture in its pristine state, cleansed by light in a spectacular surprising and monumental way.
this combination of elements, light, shadows, backlighting, enables u to notice and then "read "changes in space, to archive a better understanding of what is really there, and what is being made visible in its totality, even thougth u can't actually see it.
hope u enjoy it!
