A gift from my parent's friends; from the late 1950's. 35mm works well - odd square aperture.

It's complicated
Never to figure out
Inspired from Cole thompson photography- Ceiling Lamps
Location: Dhaka, Bangladesh
This is the statue of Rameses II at Memphis (Egypt, that is, not the home of the Blues). He was so big that, rather than shift him, they built the museum around him.
Single jpeg tone mapped.
A new picture from Morocco for today. I took this one at the Hassan II mosque in Casablanca, just after a downpour.
I like the perspective that my ultra wide angle lens gave of the minaret. This is definitely a cool one!
See you soon.

Ho vissuto molto, e ora credo di aver trovato cosa occorra per essere felici: una vita tranquilla, appartata, in campagna. Con la possibilità di essere utile con le persone che si lasciano aiutare, e che non sono abituate a ricevere. E un lavoro che si spera possa essere di una qualche utilità; e poi riposo, natura, libri, musica, amore per il prossimo. Questa è la mia idea di felicità. E poi, al di sopra di tutto, tu per compagna, e dei figli forse. Cosa può desiderare di più il cuore di un uomo?
