Changes, originally uploaded by Carlo Nicora.

During the last week there have been a lot of issues that prevented me from being very active with my camera. From moving into a new office to some endless problems with a tooth to some fever and a stupid cut on one of my fingers. It is a period [...]

Calling a Cab (Taxi Reprise), originally uploaded by Carlo Nicora.

She just came out from the Apple Store in Regent’s Street. She was holding her new iPod case. She seemed to be in a little hurry as, just out on the pavement, she moved towards the street calling a cab.
Doing this in daytime is easy and [...]

Ghostly London, originally uploaded by Carlo Nicora.

This was one of those shot where I simply check all the settings, putting my finger on the shutter release to measure the light and… I pushed a little bit too heavily on the button, so instead of measuring the light I shot this frame. Clearly the light was [...]

Tie and belt, originally uploaded by Carlo Nicora.

I have to admit that I have never loved men that stop the tie in their pants, it is simply awful. Sometimes wearing a tie is a pain, but at least if you want to do it, or if you have to do it, do it properly!
From this [...]

The Lion in the Circus, originally uploaded by Carlo Nicora.

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 [...]

Love and Peace!, originally uploaded by Carlo Nicora.

Lately I am pushing myself in going VERY neat to my subjects. I have discovered that practically none of them are aware of me, even if my camera is extremely noisy. Some of those who are aware of the camera are surprised, some others try to hide but [...]

In the rain, originally uploaded by Carlo Nicora.

There are some photos I like even if I can see they are not “perfect”. I like them when I see them even if after a while I can see all the things that are wrong. Not technically good, with a lot of noises or movements. Nevertheless I [...]

Hey sweety!, originally uploaded by Carlo Nicora.

Capturing a strong expression is sometimes enough to make a photo, but in this case these two guys helped me a lot. One of them was transfixed on someone in front of him while the other was watching a shop window like he would have loved to jump in [...]

Class: someone has it!, originally uploaded by Carlo Nicora.

Someone has it, someone else has not: Class! A nice jumper, a shirt with the top button open and the tie not perfectly closed. The beard nicely shaved just the day before, the careful carelessness to appear more “macho:.
This is London.
To be honest today I have watched [...]

Differences, originally uploaded by Carlo Nicora.

My target when I shot this frame was the man in the foreground. He was a strong character with those strange glasses and those pendants. When I got home and I watched the result though I felt in love with the many many things going on, the many characters framed, [...]
