Four years that my sister passed away.

From an instagram presentation about me:

"He studies photography trying to combine technical knowledge with a historical and cultural interest, investigating the "photographic" as a moment of philosophical reflection.

He mainly cultivates analog photography, finding in the practical limitations of analog a valuable opportunity to cultivate his own expressiveness and come into contact with the material itself, with its weaknesses and strengths. His projects want to respect people, places and time, focusing on reflection and being guided by the search for depth rather than immediate pleasantness."

 

2019-Dec-31 Last day of a complex year, my dear sister passed away at 13th of this month, I'm very stressed by this sad event. She was 13 years more older than me, like a second mummy. Shoulders problem is here, again, but less intense than in the prevoius year, it seems to be.

 

2019-Jul-29

Again in darkroom, after about 2 years. Mainly Lith Print process and other alternative photography print process. Shoulders problem seems to be less severe (hoping lasts even on the winter - who knows?).

 

from late 2017 up to mid 2019

I cannot go in darkroom because severe arthrosis to my shoulders.

 

2012-2019

A lot of wet prints projecys in these years and sometimes digital, with old M42 screw lenses. About 2 exibits every year and about a main project done with traditional BW protography, that I really love.

 

2012-Oct-11:

Currently even more interested to print with alternative photography print process.

Exposition (with other authors): WSP Photography Argento vivo ): 22 (1+3*7) prints on silver salts baryt paper with one introductory photo and seven triptychs, one for each photographer.

2010-Aug-06:

From Feb-2010 I'm starting to print from myself my shots and film roll that I have developed... This help me to improve my way to take photos and my way to read the word around me... I have made some Cyanotypes (blue prints) and Lumens, too.

 

Old descripitions:

2010-Jan-12:

My shot are (usually) direct scans of photographic film frames, sometimes are scan of chemical prints made by me. I'm starting to develop my black and white films from 1st Novembrer 2009 and to print some of my "old" shots in March 2010, using a dark room of a photographic association, here in Rome, Italy.

Other hobbies (or hobby detail):

To smoke pipes (www.pipes.org), Savinelli over all (www.savinelli.it) and sometimes cigars (Toscanelli), but NEVER cigarettes

To compose songs (music and lyrics)

To play electric guitar (Yamaha SG300 and Ibanez SA160QM)

To write SF short novels

Until now I have write about 220 poetries in about 18 years... Now I write about 3 poetry in one year, because now I'm involved in music composition...

 

How I like describe myself:

"A dreamer about a better world, more free, ethic and equal"

"Poetry isn't NEVER as usual writing... When the poetry come up I can say nothing... Only after I can read what I write and I can see really a number of new things in the same lines that I have wrote... All became new and different... Than really a poetry is something that came from me but say some that I really don't know of me..."

  

Una mia (vecchia) poesia...

  

Segni sulla pelle

  

Alla sera

Quando tutto sembra trascorso

Intuisco qualcosa

Che mai riesco a raggiungere

 

Come stelle

Lontane e sparse

Così i desideri

Padroni dei miei sogni

Ora

Dentro di me

Disperdono pensieri

 

Ecco ti scorgo

In questa notte luminosa

Che libera segreti dal profondo

Perché non ci siano paure

Niente

Che possa dividerci

 

Sulla pelle

Quella che riempisti di carezze

Ancora risuonano brividi

Mentre

Si rincorrono desideri

Attimi più densi

 

Ecco il tuo volto

Che sognerò nel buio della notte

 

Amo

Le membra

Che abbiamo fatto nostre

Mi piace molto leggere, ancor più che scrivere. La mia idea di lettura però si discosta enormemente dal leggere un libro di successo o leggerlo nel momento in cui questo esca: io preferisco far decantare a lungo, molto a lungo i libri, leggere i libri famosi dopo almeno 10 anni dalla loro prima edizione... La stessa cosa credo si stia verificando con le foto...

 

Una frase suggeritami da Mario Macaluso:

"La leggerezza si associa con la precisione e la determinazione,

non con la vaghezza e l'abbandono al caso"

Italo Calvino
