The Calling

Written by

“People, people, people, people, Hear me calling“. Come non rispondere a queste strofe, e diventa un obbligo se poi sono accompagnate da mestiere nel gestire le 6 corde di una Gibson Les Paul.

Lo sento prima di vederlo. Solo, nella pioggia con un unico spettatore che ipnoticamente segue il ritmo mentre lui fa scivolare arpeggi con la naturalezza di chi sa suonare con vero piacere.

È quasi mezzanotte, giornata lunga, quasi tutta passata a 40,000 piedi di altezza. Mi fermo per quasi tutta la durata della cover di Santana, e merita una foto …

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.

      Grazie, e io ho sempre l’acquolina quando leggo i tuoi post! Mi sa che sarà più facile che ci si vede a Singapore per un’altra parmigiana di melanzane 🙂

      un abbraccio!
