My brother, August 2006

The following picture has been taken in August 2006.

I publish it only today, because before I didn’t know how to “play with it” in order to get a result I’d like to publish.

Here you can see my brother, who is one of my 2 favorite male “model”.

Why? Beside the fact that he is good looking, he doesn’t mind if you take picture of him then publish them online, he lives close to where I live and…

he has the luck to result nice in a picture even without posing. [I hate, badly hate, to take picture of people in pose ]

Yeah I can assure you, he was not posing… he is just this way, crazy enough to tie his t-shirt on his head while cooking sausage for lunch and facing the sky, while waiting those few seconds that pass from a turn to another to get an uniform cooking

[Of the sausage on the bbq not of himself under the sun ]

Who is behind?

Let’s do a little outing.
I use internet since I was 10, and I chat since I was 11, therefore I’ve always been a little reluctant in showing people how I look like.

At first “hiding” was a form of protection, later it was shyness and a tendency to think: “Who wants to talk to me shouldn’t need to see how I look like, they must like my soul not my face”.

Later I understood it’s in human nature, even in best people’s one, to tend to will to “see the face” of people they are talking with… it probably gives that note of realism that helps trust.

So now, after almost 11 years I’ve been asked for the first time: “Can you send a picture of you?” I think is not such a bad thing showing my face… hoping you won’t get too scared!

It’s sure, I still “hide” a little and still “hate” who cannot wait to see a shot or who selects people by their faces only.

But, I wanted to give a little of realism and “human” aspect to this site.

So…Here I am! With my “little girl” in a picture taken yesterday evening in my room.

Yep. It’s true. Someone can say: “Who assure us that there’s really you there?”

Nobody. I can still be a fat, ugly and terrible man that pretends to be a girl that studies physics and loves photography.

But I’m pretty sure I’m a girl who hopes to be not that fat, ugly or terrible
