It was cold

but it was worth too.

mh…

… just a little note: I do know a better camera doesn’t automatically improve skills. I just think it’s nice and helps

I’ll keep on doing my pictures and start the 365 project even if I don’t buy the new camera.

A little crazier than usual

That’s how I feel about my life.

Things are running too fast and strange.

Once I had been happy. Then sad, recently terrible upset and frustrated.

Today I don’t feel well but I’m calm and serene.

I just wish to keep silent, listen to music and read.

At the same time I’d like to take my camera and go through the city streets and silently take pictures. I love the way you don’t need to talk to take pictures, at least most of the time is a lovely silent activity that create something that can tell a lot to this world.

Fortunately the webmaster is planning to bring me to do birdwatching in an area close to our city were birds come while moving toward or away from Africa. I guess he realized I do need to go out to take pictures

“Just” a discovered site of…

discovered work:

Vivian Maier

Her Discovered Work

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

No slice of normality is left…

That’s what I’ve always hated of some kind of “modern art”.

But when you are feeling that nothing around you is working and normal anymore, well… probably is “normal” to get crazy and do silly awful stuff like this.

I’ll back to normality soon. I’ll try. Just waiting to tidy my head.

Why posting? Dunno, probably because I was annoyed by the fact I didn’t get a good shot neither today, I think this made my eyes and brain and hands disconnect from each other, probably they are all on strike…

Serious girl is sorry.

Someone today came to this site searching for “ragazza seria” and found this post.

I’m so terrible sorry for who did the search! I hope he/she didn’t got too annoyed by the post

As a friend of mine said: “She’s not too crazy — she’s just crazy enough”.

So sorry!

Luv u

Love you mom, because even if you are a math teacher at university you can still laugh at this:

Love you my little Olympus c1 zoom because 5 years ago you gave me the chance to take this picture despite the awful light condition…and it was a totally unplanned picture!

Sorry sci-world, it’s nothing personal!

Random Thought and Hope

“It is impossible, I hope, for any Catholic to write any book on any subject,
above all this subject, without showing that he is a Catholic”

G.K. Chesterton - The Everlasting Man

And I hope that, somehow, it’s the same even in photography, even for “not so skilled” people like me

It’s not all over :)

I feel a little gloomy

although today I had the luck to spend a few hours trying to find something popping up from darkness

and although I still have the luck to dream and hope I’ll be able to leave a mark, even a thin one, on this world that will be “enlighten” by The Eternal Light.

Despite all, I already decided a life course,

that appears to be the opposite of the one that should be, but, this it the only possible good one at the moment…

therefore I’ve to complete my work, to complete what I’ve started 3 years ago (and I’m already late).

Completing this work might mean to never change direction, but surely it means, now, to drop the camera for a while… to keep it always beside me and ready to sh3oot, because I do need it to “breath” and go ahead… but being ready only for taking pictures if “something comes” and stop looking for that “something” for a little while…

Tonight I probably saw the end of the last day of “freedom to look for”, that’s why I feel a little gloomy but, only a little.

Today sunset said me “Stop playing with the camera and go back to your real work”, but it told me in a kind and comfortable way.

As that little star wanted to tell “it’s not ALL over when sun goes down”…

I know, this happen at every sunset, but that’s the one I’ve been watching to for 1 hour and half peeking out from a narrow window of the small attic of my brother’s house.
Once again I was being stuck by narrow spaces but, today, I was feeling free because I had the freedom to look around, to see sky around me.
