The colours of the streets

I admit that I love Black and White photos. They are incredibly expressive and, in particular when taking street photos, there is nothing better than black and white to document the streets as I see them. Even if I would love to say “My entire spectrum of street photographs is in black and white” I [...]

The Red Lady

Days are flying, faster than light, in front of my eyes. There are so many things I should do in such a sort time that I am sure I will not be able to finish everything I planned to before leaving for Italy in just few days. The Big Day is now just a week [...]

Shout: It’s a Beautiful Life!

This morning I received a bad news. I had quite a lot of expectations for something I did two weeks ago, but in the end I failed to impress as much as I hoped. In a moment I felt few dreams crumble under my feet.

When I saw these two men I immediately liked the situation. The [...]

The Lion in the Circus

Some T-Shirts say too many things about the wearer. It was a very fortunate coincidence that I met this man (and his fabulous t-shirt) around Oxford Circus.
I know my title is a little bit misleading. It should have read: “The Lion T-Shirt in Oxford Circus”. Nevertheless [...]

The Hooded Angel

London is a crossroad of many cultures, and this defines a city with many differences, well mixed. There are cultural approaches I cannot entirely understand, but I do not judge (maybe I judge my ignorance towards the culture itself). Women with burka, [...]
