Ubiquography: capture, edit, publish, exhibit
Did I mention I am participating in the (world-wide) Ubiquography exhibition?
Now that you know I am, you can’t ignore this great exhibition, can you…
This is how the event is described by its creators on the official website:
“Ubiquography is a group exhibition that aims to make people think about the traits that define iphoneography: ubiquity and immediacy.
Participants capture, edit and publish photos using their phones, and they are instantly displayed in the exhibition.
The exhibition will be held at the Civic Centre Guinardó in Barcelona. At the same time and simultaneously the exhibition will be projected in other centers around the world.
The offline exhibition will open from May 24 to June 8, 2012.”

Walking amongst them
What happens on an early Sunday morning in the centre of Florence?
I usually don’t like going to the centre of the city because tourists often can ruin my day - it’s just that too many of them are around at the same time, and I don’t find myself at ease in crowded places where walking is hard.
A few days ago, after a long time, I happened to be there in the early morning and I started taking candid shots of strangers in the streets; due to the early time, the streets were quiet and people where more “visible”.
I ended up enjoying myself quite a bit and decided to post some of the shots, all taken with my iPhone and Hipstamatic random combinations.
I kept the shooting sequence, thus avoiding all storytelling from me.
Colapesce live @ Sala Vanni
(Firenze)
A new reportage I have just released on Clich-hé.
I must say Colapesce released one of my favourite Italian indie albums of at least the last 3 years, and you should definitely check him out. The gig was an intense one, all soaked in magic blue neon lights, while poetry, quietness, real-life storytelling all mixed together to convey a magic night upon us.

Watch a couple of videos from Colapesce: S’illumina | Restiamo in casa
Tour of the areas of the New Uffizi and aperitif in the terrace on the Loggia dei Lanzi.
I have been lucky enough to receive the official authorisation to take some photos of the event and photograph the new blue rooms of the Uffizi for a reportage I have just released on Clich-hé.

I have just published on the pages of Clich-hé.it a new reportage on the event “Nippon & tea” hosted a couple of weeks ago by the Florentine Italian/Japanese association “Magnifico Club” in the magnificent courtyard of Palazzo Pitti here in Florence.

Buy prints
I have made a page dedicated to all the places where you can find and buy a selection of prints of my photos.

Please head over to the Buy prints page and find everything in one convenient list, plus a special send-a-donation-get-a-print surprise offer.
PHOTOS HAPPEN!
An interview with KALTLBUT MAGAZINE
Today the German art fashion media magazine KALTBLUT released an interview with yours truly.
The feature is accompanied by a… bizarre selection of my works, both videos and photos - and by bizarre I mean unusual, evident result of a search in my streams on Flickr and Vimeo that pleased me a huge lot since it did not stop to the most recent output but involved older stuff as well, including some of my favourite past photos.
The magazine is packed with a stunning and strong choice of imagery and artists on every field, and I am truly happy and pleased to be featured on their pages.
Thanks Emma E.K. Jones for this!
The photo above is titled “the Sunday ride” (you can see it and buy prints on 500px)
Mouse on Mars live in Firenze
The splendid setting of the Marino Marini museum of Florence saw the band play during the tour for the new album “Patastrophic”. The band sounded massive, the location proved especially good for the event, and the audience undoubtedly loved every single note of it.
I did a few shoots for a reportage exclusive to Clich-hé, the photography webmagazine I collaborate with as Chief editor for the Events section.

Recovered shot: Les voyages immobiles
originally uploaded on Flickr: August 2008
Summer in the city, a city turned again so beautiful for just a few weeks: empty, silent, available, mine again.
Every year it’s so special because it feels like coming home for a short time.
One of my fave views of Florence, my hometown, while not plagued by cars and people in August. One of the best films ever made, Kodak EPP, crossprocessed and twisted.
All the above is now gone and faded: Florence in quiet August, Kodak, EPP analogue film. The world is a sad place, ain’t it.

Recovered shots are a selection of photos I previously posted on Flickr that I consider worth of further exposure.
Recovered video: “Greetings”
originally uploaded to Vimeo on October 25th, 2006
Some found postcards showing bits of someone’s family life, affections and acquaintances.
This feels like watching someone else living his/her own life.
Please note: the spoken words read the original texts found on the postcards, with a heavy Chinese accent. Written words are the English translations.
I wish dedicate this to a dear friend who last night suffered a deep loss.
A short video I made from an idea I had with my friend/then colleague Marco Biondi using some found postcards thrown away but somehow escaped from destruction.
This is by far yet my favourite short video.
Thanks to my friend Shu-Chun for her endless patience - the Italian voiceover was not easy for her but eventually I succeeded in editing the way I wanted it.
