DRS – Democratic Republic of Spritz

Written by

Un paio di chitarre elettriche e una buona voce stasera nella DRS, la Democratic Republic of Spritz di Via Lomellina a Milano: Linda Paganelli e Marco Colombo, che compongono lo “SLAM duo”, ci hanno accompagnato nella storia degli ultimi 50 anni di musica con buon mestiere e molta passione mentre il popolo alcolofilo della Cooperativa ritmava bicchieri, boccali e bottiglie.

Una canzone su tutte, una cover di Nancy Sinatra, “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down”. Scritta originariamente da Sonny Bono per Cher nel 1966, ma Nancy l’ha portata alla notorietà planetaria aggiungendo il “tremolo” della chitarra.

I was five and he was six, We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white, He would always win the fight

Bang bang, he shot me down, Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound, Bang bang, my baby shot me down

Foto? Ovvio, DRS, The Democratic Republic of Spritz ….

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.
