The main thing is knowing how to see,

To know how to see without thinking,

To know how to see when you see,

And not think when you see

Or see when you think.

Fernando Pessoa's heteronym Alberto Caeiro

  

Pessoa forever ...

 

   

Italian, born in Africa, citizen of the world.. I am not a pro, just started taking photos since childhood ...I enjoy taking photos of all things I like.

 

Love travels (have done it since a baby), sea, dogs,horses and nature, history, fashion, good books, friends ... life!! .. and slow food. Good music, from Classic, Jazz to Rap. I was lucky to travel and live in many wonderfull places in the world, it was part of my life and of "me" ... to learn from others is ever so nice and exciting I am now living in sunny Lisboa, Portugal, after my beloved Firenze.

 

Hope to learn from all the great talents in Flickr.

Barbara is a hidden talent in photography in flickr community according to me. Her pictures are the mirror of her warm and candid heart. If you discover once her,you can never give up any more. She is very sincere,warm,pleasant and likable. Her these specialities connect you tightly. To visit her photostream is very pleasure for me. You can meet suddenly at the moment to a beautiful picture over there and say to yourself ''Wow !! such a extraordinary work.'' But she is so humility and maybe is not aware of this. Dear Barbara, keep up your beautiful work. I'II be your supporter always.
