Giovanni Damiola, photographer from Milan, actually living in San Francisco (www.gdampic.com) .

I believe in the power of the imagination to remake the world, to release the truth within us, to hold back the night, to transcend death, to charm motorways, to ingratiate ourselves with birds, to enlist the confidences of madmen.

I believe in the non-existence of the past, in the death of the future, and the infinite possibilities of the present.

I believe in the mystery and melancholy of a hand, in the kindness of trees, in the wisdom of light.

(words by James Ballard)
