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.

iPhoneogenic’s Mobile Photographers/Artists of 2011
Sometimes I miss some piece of news, maybe I’m trying to follow too many things and something slips, now and then. Then I find it out later out of pure chance - just as it happened this very morning when reading an email with an invitation to take part in a new iPhoneography exhibition in Miami (more news later, hoepfully!).
Turns out a couple of months ago I was included in the iPhoneogenic’s Mobile Photographers/Artists of 2011, “a list of 50 of the most promising, influential, creative, and encouraging mobile photographers/artists out there”.
Wow.
I’m so ashamed I did miss this piece of such great news, and I’m so flattered and honoured to have been selected and included amongst so many of my inspirations!
I’d like to thank the guys and say sorry for missing this earlier.
Please note: the iPhoneogenic blog has now moved to a new address.

My new book is finally available on Blurb as a pocket printed edition (unexpensive) and as an ebook as well.
The book collects a series of portraits of people I know and love, taken in more than one year.
All photos have been taken taken & processed with an iPhone and using the FXPhotoStudio app, making a few custom presets for these portraits.

Today, the International iPhoneography Show opens in New York
You should not miss this exhibition if you happen to be in New York.
I have been selected too!
[UPDATED] …and more exhibitions (Pixel This)
Pixel This - a Phoneography exhibition, runs from November 28 until December 3 at the Gallery on the Corner in Battersea Park, London - and I am one the photographers selected.
What makes this particularly special is that all the photographs will be auctioned off to raise money for Kids Company, an organization reaching 14,000 children across London providing practical, emotional and educational support to vulnerable inner-city children and young people.
The exhibition was created by CreateHive, a site dedicated to recognising photographers, film-makers, artists and creatives, to showcase their work to the general public.
Here is the list of exhibitors and if you are interested in a copy of the image above, you can find it here, here or here - but if you can, check out the exhibition and don’t forget to go to the auction on Friday December 2nd!
UPDATE: the auction has taken place and I am told my photo was auctioned for £90!
I would like to be able and personally thank the buyer.

Glitch & Pop-Art now have prints!
My experiments with glitch and pop-art on the iPhone (see my previous posts here, here and here) have taken me to a point where I am starting to feel confident enough to show them properly to the world.
I feel though these works need to be grouped in some kind of a different “section” and this is why I am not showing them on my Flickr stream, my main display window.
I have thus decided to showcase these new works on a totally different environment and have chosen various other places for this purpose (some not yet available to see), starting with two print shops: one for the US and one for EU.
Prints are available for sale in the shops listed bleow and according to where you live you might find them more convenient in one shop or the other.
There is a shop on Fine Art America (US) and one on Artflakes (EU); both seem to be producing very high quality prints, posters, cards, canvases and so on, so you might want to visit them to make your order!
