Come on baby, light my fire” ho detto a Beria stamani intorno alle 6 mentre aprivo la porta di casa, e la mia cagnona, ormai avvezza a ogni citazione musical-storico-filosofica, ha ondeggiato la coda e si è avviata verso la pascolata mattutina in un’aria umidiccia che sapeva ancora di sonno.

Abbiamo girovagato per una mezz’ora in un sabato mattina veramente post-atomico, prima di decidere che il suo pelo fosse zuppo a sufficienza per puzzare in modo incontrovertibile di cane bagnato, e io invece avessi finalmente dimostrato che la giacca Patagonia, che mi ha accompagnato per oltre gli ultimi tre anni, abbia perso le sue caratteristiche di impermeabilità.

It has been more than fifty years since I began traveling across the world — and the seven seas — for work or for pleasure, always with a Leica M camera close at hand. The camera has never been an accessory; it has been a constant companion, a way of observing, remembering, and making sense of the places and people I encountered along the way. I started keeping this kind of journal some time ago, not as a diary in the traditional sense, but as a space where images and words could meet. This is not a publication driven by schedules or algorithms. At times I disappear for long stretches; then, inevitably, I return with semi-regular updates. Publishing, for me, is a mirror of my state of mind and emotions. It follows my rhythm, not the other way around. You have to take it exactly as it comes. Every photograph you see here is mine. They are fragments of a life spent moving, looking, and waiting for moments to reveal themselves — often quietly, sometimes unexpectedly. This blog is not about destinations, but about presence. About what remains when the journey slows down and the shutter finally clicks.
