The...snow-shot


I awoke into a snowy landscape, one of those days when it’s nice to enjoy being at home, and every year I cannot avoid to take the annual "snow-shot" to my Lab Jasper.

I personally love snow, but he is really crazy about it! He ran around in circles as fast as he could, and then ran again kicking up the snow.  He was smiling the whole time!

Look at him jumping and leaping into the air while goes crazy chasing snowballs! I love to see him happy!

Non-places


French antropologist Marc Augé coined the phrase "non-place" to refer to "places of transience that do not hold enough significance to be regarded as places".

We can not ignore them, they are in our everyday life: lights, colors, people.

They transform themselves with darkness and artificial light: they are the "Non places".

Year in review: some shots from 2012

Another year has passed and now that I have had some time at home, I would like to share some of my personal favorite photos with you.

To be honest, I find the process of picking my best images of any given year to be a difficult one. Ansel Adams once said that “twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop”.
Maybe in the end, twelve photographs every year really isn’t such a bad number, but for some reason I decided to reduce the chart and propose my personal Top 5 in this very moment.

So here they are, in no particular order...Enjoy and keep in mind that your feedback is always appreciated! Have a good light for 2013!

Umbria - March 2012
Provence - June 2012


Open-air concerts - June 2012
Sailing- July 2012

Photo of the month: January

Tech data: Olympus OM-D, Lumix G Vario 45-200 mm f/4-5.6
Nature is the best artist and the best source of our inspiration.
Who can be the perfect artist better than Nature?

These amazing ice patterns seem carefully scultpured by hand and I found them on a shallow lakeshore during a recent trip near my hometown.
I can not wait to visit this place with more snow and ice in search for more photographic pickings.

"Winter pattern" is the new photo of the month on my website and the first of this brand new 2013. Enjoy!
