News can be terrible boring
January 29, 2010
What I’m going to write is not a comment about this picture. I don’t think it needs any comment, what it tells is simple and probably an international behavior.
I’m focusing my attention on the kind of picture: “pictures of people I don’t know”. As you can see from the gallery set, I don’t take many pictures of people I don’t know, for several reason that runs from the fact I don’t go out very often to the fact I don’t want to disturb anyone. I’ve been told several time to not worry about it, I actually still don’t know what to think about…
But, yesterday, while talking with a crazy man that I recently met online, I went into the “Ragusa” folder of my pictures folder and found the “original” of this picture (actually the original shots is missed as all the original pictures I’ve taken in that period of my life). While I was still talking with my crazy friend who was telling me, for the n-th time, “Go out, don’t stay home for such a long time” I started looking at that picture, I saw those old “enemy”, the reflections on the glass that was between me and that man, and thought: “What a pity, it might have been a nice shot, I wonder if there is a way to make those reflection disappear but…”. In that moment an idea came. My friend had to leave (don’t tell him that I didn’t listen to what he was saying during the last minutes of chat 
) and I tried to follow the idea that came up on my mind. In few minutes, seriously, in a very short time, I got this shot.
Yeah, it’s a little blurry, it’s not perfect. You can still see a little reflection on the right, but “I did it”: I have been able to pull out that picture what I saw that day.
I wonder if I had been able to do such a thing 4 years ago now I would have been taking more pictures to people.
Well, actually I wonder if this man is still alive, I hope yes for him.
Capinera #2

I love the way it moves and jumps like a dancer, just… I wish it came when there is more light on my balcony 
Close, but not close enough.

Tonight I was just getting ready to go to bed when looked at my dart board.
My mind went back to Friday night when the webmaster saw it and, with a kind of surprised-disgusted-worried expression on his face, just said: “It’s all riddled”… and I thought: “Yeah, and I don’t regret it at all”.
This made me smile, but just for a second…
Soon after the dart board looked more like a picture of my life… trying several times to achieve something, reaching a good result but, that t is not as “good” as it should be… and at times I feel the same about “going to the heaven” or just “being a good person” aim. I feel like I get close, but not close enough, despite the daily big amount of attempts to do the right thing.
Dark mood mode on…yep.
- update 28/01/2010. The picture is rotated, I didn’t hang the dart board to the ceiling. I’m crazy, but not so crazy… how lovely is to discover what my friends are able to think of me. Sigh!
Human blindness or hidden Beauty?

This picture always made me wondering if it’s my fault when I cannot see any Beauty sign around me, or if it hides at times to remind me of how bad I feel without it.
Too much…

photo editing, I’m not liking it… I mean, I’ve always thought it is a little “stupid” to do because it changes reality… I’m worried… ^_^
And finally…

today, after lunch, the following 2 guys allowed me to take at least a picture of them.
One was:
And this one, I’ve been told, should be a “capinera“:
11 years

Yeah.
It’s freaking me out thinking that have passed 11 years since I’ve started chatting on the web.
…too many thoughts… good ones fortunately
