Mind could be an enemy when you’re doing street photography. Bad thoughts affect negatively your street session. Your mind must be free, open to reality and everyday life, waiting for the decisive moment and serendipity. Street photography is really hard to practice. Usually I’m lonely on the streets with good and bad thoughts. How many …
I’ve been in Venice in novembre 2019 for three days. Many months ago I’ve posted a sort of travel blog (made of three articles, links below) divided for days with pictures taken with my smartphone. Now, on semptember 2020, I’ve, finally, edited photos taken in that weekend spent in Venice. I’m not really satisfied by …

After a first lockdown due to pandemia by Sars-COV2 I went back in cinema finally. I watched Tenet, the new thriller directed by Christopher Nolan with Robert Pattinson, John David Washington and Kenneth Branagh. This is my review of Tenet.

I love cinematography, it’s essential and directly connected to the directing work. In fact there is a connection between the director of photography (DOP) and movie director.
