Sto facendo un filo d’ordine e un paio di back-up sicuri per l’archivio fotografico e, guardacaso proprio ora che sto ripartendo, mi son tornati solo schermo un grappolo di scatti fatti una decina d’anni fa in Medio Oriente, soprattutto a Dubai.

Si vede una Camilla di 10 anni, atletica e divertita sulle spiagge del Golfo, si vede una Dubai Marina che sta sorgendo e tante altre cose che avevo relegato a “ricordo ingiallito” per scoprire invece che c’è ancora tanto colore. Si vede anche che ho cambiato modo di fotografare e forse son cambiato anche io, anzi, sicuramente.

No, non chiedetemelo, non sto ancora preparando la valigia chiusa con lo spago come ogni bravo emigrante: ho preparato il mio bagaglio circa 1,500 volte negli ultimi 20 anni, posso permettermi l’abilità di metterci meno di mezz’ora. E poi sto via solo un mese adesso.

Foto? Raccatto una mangiata di immagini quasi casuali …

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.
