Terra arida – Un non viaggio

Today it’s one of those “nostalgic days” I often live when I have enough time to think about the past. The day I took these photos was one of those too, so I decided to speak – through images – about that long, silent, emotional travel that brings souls everywhere and nowhere, the kind of travel everyone is scared of. And the end of a poem came back to my mind (sorry, but it is an Italian one):

“E ora, che ne sarà
del mio viaggio?
Troppo accuratamente l’ho studiato
senza saperne nulla. Un imprevisto
è la sola speranza. Ma mi dicono
che è una stoltezza dirselo.”

E. Montale, Prima del viaggio, Satura 1962-1970

In May I had the pleasure to photograph Emma and Jack on their wedding day. Here is a preview of the photographs taken. Stay tuned and you’ll see the rest soon!

Tennis court loneliness

What I was looking for this set were simplicity, elegance, geometry. I was waiting for a sense of loneliness and isolation to hug the happiness of the harmony. And at the end I really saw the embrace.
