For the second summer this nice fountain has been opened on the South Bank Centre. I have seen it already and I thought I had enough of photographing it, but I was wrong. Indeed I am not very interested in the water bringing its walls up or down; the real fun is provided by the [...]
A little break to the “kiss” stream. I have one or two more of them, but I am not entirely convinced by how they turned out, so I prefer to publish one I like.
Almost a painting in grainy pencils, this is what I expect from my city: a bench where to talk to a friend, [...]
Yesterday a friend from Italy set the first stone in his new life, so we went out to cheer good news. After some time in a pub, we walked around London and I was absolutely astonished by the number of people publicly displaying more than simple affection. In a single evening I photographed three couples [...]
Summer is clearly fighting its way in these days… well apart from today to be honest: the sky is quite gloomy. Nevertheless walking on the South Bank the other day we were blessed by a fantastic sun and by a very good temperature. I have to admit that I am feeling the need of it, [...]
In these days I am migrating my Aperture library to a different structure. More over I am also importing all my library in iPhoto, to see if it makes sense to remove a lot of old photos from my main library, pushing them into another type of “memory holder”.

I was walking on the South Bank the other day when I saw them. The world was far away, they were [...]
This is one of the many photos I like, but that I hadn’t published because I had many others to and because I do not like to publish too many from a single series. Then, when the series have moved on, I tend to not to like the photos I took. My constant research for [...]
A couple accept to be photographed while walking on the South Bank. London, 4th December 2008
I wanted to test the new Canon 5D Mark II as it was my camera, taking my usual photos. Some of the other bloggers who had been selected to test the camera with me were focusing on landscapes, macros or [...]
There are small downsides in using film, and one of these is finding your film scratched! I was quite happy about this shot, I liked the reflection of the sun on the benches when I saw, still on the developed film, those scratches. Bummer! To be honest I am not so angry for them, it [...]
He was on the South Bank, with his sketchbook and his pencil and his pipe. He was drawing the landscape in front of him and he was so relaxed that I did not see him, I saw my photo instead. I did not need to think about the composition, because I had it already in [...]
