Few things are more reassuring than someone keeping your hand. There may be noise, crowd, the whole scary world out there, but nothing is too dangerous if your guide is holding your hand. And if one is reassuring, having both your hands kept by guardians’ hands is peace.
There was a large crowd this year at [...]
The long days of the Notting Hill Carnival are some of those days that have so many attractions that children would like to have more and more. They use all the resources they have chasing those special things that cannot be seen every day. Their eyes are filled with emotions, awe and happiness than being [...]
If I had to say why I take photos, I would easily answer: “I hunt feelings“. I like street or candid photography because it gives me the possibility to capture the reality. The true reactions, the true feelings of the people walking by.
I am deeply attracted by the human nature and so much I love [...]
Photos take a part of our story, a small fragment of what we are. They do not change and, in time, they still show what we have been. Sometimes I regret not having used my camera more often in the past. One thing I rarely do is taking self portrait, I do not like them [...]
The Notting Hill Carnival is a Caribbean carnival, so the title matches perfectly, doesn’t it?

But hse was different. She was walking down Ladbrooke Grove as it [...]
Many years ago I was used to say something like: “An adult is nothing more than a corpse of a teenager, killed by too many useless problems“. Right now I can say that too many times I am concerned by what are not even problems. They are just one of the many aspects of life. [...]
One of the first shots from the Carnival 2008, I was still warming when I saw this woman, walking towards us. She sneezed once or twice when she got near the food stalls.
The scent of food was strong and it was relatively early. I know that 11:30 is not so early, but the streets of [...]
I had been walking for at least three hours when I decided to take a small break, with my arms a little aching because of the weight of my lens. They came from a food stall and they sad in front of that incredible wall. They did not exchange a single word.
She was tired. From [...]
