Back to the Rainbow

Written by

“Good morning Sir, I’m inbound from Dubai, going to be here for the week” dico all’addetto all’immigrazione: sono le 5:30 e il sole sta cominciando a illuminare i colori del South Africa. “Welcome back, son” è la sorridente risposta nell’accento masticato che fa dell’inglese parlato da queste parti una lingua unica.

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.

      beh, Leica è una religione più che una macchina fotografica, ma questa l’avevo scattata con una buona Nikon 🙂

    Guardando solo questa foto mi trovo d’accordo con la Cami. Il resto non deve essere da meno.
