Social Distancing and Clear Blue Skies
The long awaited freedom to roam is approaching. Although the official day to let us out—like a herd of horses waiting for the corral to be opened—will be May 4th, the streets are busy. Many on foot, always in couples. There is a lot of walking, jogging, and power walking. It is quite nice to […]

Read MoreOne Love
I recently traded-in my old cameras and lenses. After a diligent research I decided for a mirror-less camera.

Long as I remember The rain been comin’ down… It has been raining incessantly for more than a week!

Read MoreLazy Days of Summer
Photographing summer between heatwaves and terrifying thunderstorms, they are typical of northern Italy, but that doesn’t mean that I am used to them. 😳 Sometimes they are accompanied by hail and strong winds. The ensuing damages are remarkable on crops and wine production expectations. Luckily it does happen often at night time, leaving the morning […]
