General discussion

When an interview becomes a narration Happy Tuesday, my friends. Thanks for being here, your support is amazing and means a lot to me. This week I want to share with you an idea, something new and, maybe, a little weird. I prepared an interview with my friend Joe about his poetry and his life.…

The revenge of the machines The cinema history of the past decades is full of masterpieces describing a far future where machines took control over humans. My favourite one is Terminator. In most cases, the scenario saw mankind on the edge of the disaster, facing a substantial risk of being annihilated and cancelled from Earth by…

Clouds, a Castle and a couple of days at the beach It’s been one month, more or less, since my family and I have come back from our last small vacation at the seaside. To be honest, the weather was not that friendly: out of 5 days of stay, we had two days with rain, one…

A good artist is the one who can steal, not the one who can copy. There is a big difference between stealing an idea and copying an idea.And it’s all into the ability of the author to drive the creativity to achieve the result. Be very careful here: I’m not talking about stealing or copying an image, which goes…

…and recharge the batteries August, typically, is the slowest month for me.The day-by-day routine is frenetic and drains energies for an entire year. Work, family and unexpected issues to deal with are all a source of stress that gets accumulated with almost no chance to release it. This month is a sort of “mindfulness month” when I…

But it was amazing, wild and smelled like freedom When I read this post by Nat Persoglio I was immediately thrown back into my teenage years. It was a punch, because those memories, though vivid, had been hiding back in my mind for a very long time. I was still in high school and we were three…

Are EXIF data an important info? Yes, but not really Ok, I admit it. I also fell into this vortex when I started my photographic journey.I believe it is a normal step towards learning and growing self-confidence, maybe even an essential one.When you approach something completely new, you first look for some guides or tips…

There is one thing I’ve noticed since I started making photographs: after each set, I immediately feel the urge to plan a new one. This is weird because photography has never been in my life until I started it, nearly 10 years ago (at the moment I’m writing this article). I thought the passion for…

It may seem a silly topic to discuss, however, I thought it’s worth spending a few words about it. I’m Italian, and, in my experience, a lot of us find it pretty difficult to communicate in English.So, have I gone crazy, especially considering that driving the right content properly is the key to being successful…

A few words about some family time I’ve just come back from a one-week vacation at the seaside. And it happens every single time: when I start unpacking the suitcases, I already feel nostalgic for the whisper of the waves. Living close to the Lake of Como, in the North of Italy, means the closest…

If you remember from my very first introduction post, I live in a small town in the north of Italy.I love this place, because it’s close to the Lake of Como, which is amazing, and I am surrounded by woods, hills and other smaller lakes equally lovely.I’ve always lived away from the big cities (Milan is…

It’s recent news that Meta was fined a record amount of $1.3B for violating GDPR rules and sending information about EU users to the US. I’m personally happy about this decision, and, if you follow me on my socials, I’ve never hidden my position against Meta and their products. The main point is I can’t stand for…
