Stamani son passato al piccolo trotto nella shopping mall, percorrendo lo spazio dal parcheggio all’ingresso dell’ufficio come un facocero pelato in giacca e cravatta, e parlando al telefono con chi, qualche parallelo più a nord di me stava sbucciando i datteri.

Ma i datteri non si sbucciano!” potrebbe osservare qualcuno: ecco, questo chiarisce il mio parere sull’attività ad alto valore aggiunto che, senza mezzi termini, stavo criticando. Uno degli aspetti più critici nel successo delle organizzazioni complesse è la capacità di far interagire gli individui singoli, per portarli ad un obiettivo (e si spera anche un successo) collettivo.

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.
