I have been doing photography for over 20 years(which makes me over 18 yrs of age).

This is not only a book of pictures, of images, of stolen and immortalized moments, of memories. this is my world's view, my emotions, my feelings: parallel worlds that never could meet if not here, in this book, through myself

started on september 1994

my professional world on

Most pics are personal.

Friendship status is always discretionary and based on reciprocity (ie. nice hidden pics) + your age must appear on your profile.

I am what I am!

...... But neither a photographer nor an artist!

...... I like photography and art!

...... I am an intellectual, but like to listen to cultured people,

I teach at the Universities of Palermo and Napoli.

I like to take pictures of people around me and in the nature. I am sensitive for life and for what is going on in the world.

The way I like to see myself....

Libertarian. In the sense of freedom of thought and action.

Anarchist. In the sense of a democratic self-managed society.

Weirdo. In the sense that I do not correspond to any pattern.

I like open-minded, committed people!

I hate close-minded hypocrats and bigots!

I am an honest nice and optimistic person who likes to cultivate his body, mind and soul. I like to keep myself out of trouble and have a clear mind as well. My philosophy in life, in objective terms, is not to do anything that might damage either some other people or myself.

About me: I have many interests ranging from...(…) As you can clearly tell by my photos, I also tend to be a nudist at times and love things like naked hiking and nude beaches or even just hanging out naked around the house.

Hello there. Thanks for checking out my profile.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING WORDS ABOUT FREEDOM OF KAHLIL GIBRAN BEFORE ADDING ME AS A FRIEND:

Kahlil Gibran

”E un oratore disse: Parlaci della Libertà.

E lui rispose:Alle porte della città e presso il focolare vi ho veduto, prostrati, adorare la vostra libertà. Così come gli schiavi si umiliano in lodi davanti al tiranno che li uccide.

Sì, al bosco sacro e all'ombra della rocca ho visto che per il più libero di voi la libertà non era che schiavitù e oppressione.

E in me il cuore ha sanguinato, poiché sarete liberi solo quando lo stesso desiderio di ricercare la libertà sarà una pratica per voi e finirete di chiamarla un fine e un compimento.

In verità sarete liberi quando i vostri giorni non saranno privi di pena e le vostre notti di angoscia e di esigenze. Quando di queste cose sarà circonfusa la vostra vita, allora vi leverete al di sopra di esse nudi e senza vincoli.

Ma come potrete elevarvi oltre i giorni e le notti se non spezzando le catene che all'alba della vostra conoscenza hanno imprigionato l'ora del meriggio? Quella che voi chiamate libertà è la più resistente di queste catene, benché i suoi anelli vi abbaglino scintillando al sole.

E cos'è mai se non parte di voi stessi ciò che vorreste respingere per essere liberi?

L'ingiusta legge che vorreste abolire è la stessa che la vostra mano vi ha scritto sulla fronte.

Non potete cancellarla bruciando i libri di diritto né lavando la fronte dei vostri giudici, neppure riversandovi sopra le onde del mare. Se è un despota colui che volete detronizzare, badate prima che il trono eretto dentro di voi sia già stato distrutto.

Poiché come può un tiranno governare uomini liberi e fieri, se non per una tirannia e un difetto della loro stessa libertà e del loro orgoglio ? E se volete allontanare un affanno, ricordate che questo affanno non vi è stato imposto, ma voi l'avete scelto.

E se volete dissipare un timore, cercatelo in voi e non nella mano di chi questo timore v'incute.

In verità, ciò che anelate e temete, che vi ripugna e vi blandisce, ciò che perseguite e ciò che vorreste sfuggire, ognuna di queste cose muove nel vostro essere in un costante e incompiuto abbraccio. Come luci e ombre unite in una stretta, ogni cosa si agita in voi.

E quando un'ombra svanisce, la luce che indugia diventa ombra per un'altra luce.

E così quando la vostra libertà getta le catene diventa essa stessa la catena di una libertà più grande”.

1) Make sure you have some pics of your own posted first too, cause it's gotta be a two way street! I won't add you back unless you have something to contribute as well. And in most cases, that does NOT mean rounding up files off the internet. You can get that anywhere. And that isn't what flickr is all about. Original works are so much more interesting.

2) Original work to me, does NOT include a headless shot of your privates. If that is all you got to contribute, I won't be making you a friend. In other words, you can't expect to get more out of my photos then you are willing to contribute yourself.

I am Nudist. A non-sexual, clean minded, and well intended Nudist. Not a swinger, not a partner swapper. Nudism is the human body in it's natural state. It is not inherently dirty, perverted, or sexual. It is however amazingly relaxing and healthy both physically and psychologically. I realize that there are nudists out there for whom nudism is a sexual thing. They're NOT "nudists", they're hybrids! They are mixing nudism with sexuality. I am NOT one of them.

To me the human body is the greatest work of art we have, and we each have one. Honestly, clothing is more sexual than the human body is. The mere fact that a person does not have any clothing on is not a sexual thing at all. It's not the absence of clothing that is sexual. It is what a person does when nude, or how a person reacts when encountering nudity that can turn it into something sexual. It's the behavior factor the determines it all.

I just feel much more relaxed and less distracted and constrained when I am nude. My body feels more at ease, which in turn makes me feel more comfortable. Whether I am alone, with my wife, a few friends, or a large group, my views on nudism don't change. Too many people assume that because I am a nudist, I'm looking for sex. I'm not. In fact, I'm offended by people who use Nudism to do that. Does sex involve nudity? Usually. But that's nudity, not NUDISM. Does nudism involve sex? Not for me and my Nudist friends it doesn't.

Naturism, often called nudism, has as many definitions as there are naturists. The International Naturist Federation, which represents millions of naturists around the world describes it as:

A way of life in harmony with nature characterized by the practice of communal nudity, with the intention of encouraging self-respect, respect for others and for the environment;

Who are naturists? Anyone can be a naturist. Your background, age, shape and colour are irrelevant when it comes to enjoying the freedom of naturism, which is why it attracts people from all walks of life. Naturists practice social nudity, aimed at encouraging self respect, respect for others and the environment. We only enjoy clothes free activities in the right environment, among like-minded naturists, when it is warm enough.

How to get started being naked It's simple. There's really only one step, which costs nothing and requires very little time: Take your clothes off!

There, that wasn't so hard, was it? Really, that's all there is to it. Feels good, doesn't it? Always keep in mind the old Chinese saying, "I hear and I forget; I see and I remember; I do and I understand.

Of course, if you don't happen to be alone right now, you may not have tried this first step. Save it for some time you are alone, if you must. You will probably find it becomes comfortable very quickly.

At some point you will almost certainly want to try nudity with others, however. The others might be family, close friends, people you live with, or perhaps, total strangers (which is often easier). Before you take that step, however, you will probably want more information and answers to concerns and questions you have. And when you are ready for something more than just being naked all by yourself in your room, you'll probably want some ideas for the best ways and places to start out.

So, here are some ideas on how to get started. Have fun!

Skinny-dip in your own pool or spa.

If you live with others, they may find it a little odd if you just go naked around the house. However, they may be very understanding if you go in the water without a bathing suit. There's a right time and place for most things, and water is one of the most appropriate for nudity. You'll love it that way, and others who may be around will have a chance to get used to a little innocent nudity.

Do housecleaning or other chores in the nude

Are there some unwelcome chores you'd prefer to avoid but can't? Try doing them without any clothes on and see if it isn't a lot more pleasant that way. (Hopefully, if it's something that has to be done outside, you have some privacy where you live.)

Gradually become more comfortable with your clothes off.

If you live with others, be sure to respect their feelings. However, once they find out you like to be naked, they may not have any problem with it, even if they don't choose to go along. Soon no clothes; will come to seem normal, just another way you may choose to be at times.

Fellas - it isn't likely to happen!

In the social situation of a club it would be very rare for you to have an erection; if you do, a dive in the nearest cold pool or the sea should help.

On the beach, simply turn over till it goes away. And when you're off strolling for the first time, carry a towel which can be used to cover any embarrassment that may arise.

But please do not wear the towel unless you really need it! If you persist in covering up you'll soon get that feeling that everyone's looking at you! Best to go nude for anonymity!

Being nude is not compulsory, we're not out to catch pneumonia so dress if it's cold. Neither do we want sunburn so cover up with a tee shirt or blouse.

If you meet anyone you know it only proves that you were more like-minded than you had thought previously. Other friends and acquaintances needn't know you're naturist unless you tell them as clubs and their members keep membership lists confidential.

Judge me by what I do, not by what you assume I will do.

To my many friends that do NOT act this way...

THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH!!
