Marco is one of the most smart and interesting persons I have ever met, not only at Flickr. His erudition in many different fields is outstanding; something so rare nowadays. Looking at his photos, we better always bear in mind that each of them should be viewed in a larger context. Many of his photographs represents architectural and/or technical "things". They are not just interesting views, but they are also "pregnant" with historical, cultural, ethical and so on contexts, they are a part of a larger frame of reference. In the same way, he interprets the photos of his friends. He is able to say much more about my photos than I am able to say about them, because he sees far beyond visible levels. I get the impression Marco's photos are a part of a metaphysical system and he is able to involve his friends' photos in his metaphysical universe. Marco is very sensible about anything limiting human freedom. He is critical about freedom issues in society he lives in (and in any society in general), about internet and media censorship and about freedom in photography as well. This is why he rarely takes photos of people - people have free will and he couldn't make them pose. He wouldn't even like to change the position of anything in order to take a photo of it. He listen to the world instead of manipulating it and grasps what the world is saying to him. In brief, communicating with Marco would enrich your horizon. It would make you think.
