The Vague Outline of the City Life

When you live in the city the tempo of your day is fast. 120 heartbeat a minute, fast paced walk, a cigarette half smoked half left on the pavement. This is the time, a smile, few minutes of small talk and then back to work. Time flies, you follow. Buses packed, crowded street, just the [...]

Spider

I am in love with both my lenses, the 70-200 and the 28mm, and I like to use them both. The result are quite different, the feeling of the photos are quite different. While the 28mm is a cheap lens, very slow in auto focus, the other one is fast and precise. The prism in [...]

I have always been able to estrange myself from the world, lost in a thought or in a dream. It is an odd experience, because you loose contact with the reality, with what is going on around you. I bet she was equally far from the reality when I saw [...]

If you are in London and you want a fantastic coffee, there is a great place near Seven Dials.
I was there on Saturday, outside the Monmouth Coffee House, just after having enjoyed my single espresso when I saw this man. His [...]
