Mi piace prendere i mezzi pubblici.

La Cami, che ultimamente condisce scarcasmo e ironia come se fossero in un’insalata mista, sostiene che sia un “piacere incoscente e temporaneo da contrappasso lusso-realta’“: mi dice che l’essere condannato, nel girone del Paese dei Castelli di Sabbia, a viaggiare nel silenzio del mio abitacolo privato, comodo e climatizzato, mi faccia apprezzare il contatto visivo, fisico e olfattivo con l’umanità.

Partire da casa, arrivare in Piazza del Duomo dopo una dozzina di minuti, senza essere afflitto da traffico, Area-C, parcheggio e limitando il mio contributo all’inquinamento ambientale, sono gli argomenti razionali che le espongo, ma ricevo un’alzata dubbiosa di sopracciglia.

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.
