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.
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.
There is only one word you can use to describe this: huge.

“Señoras que parecen en nada” has even earned the iPhography Editors pick of the day.
Thanks guys!
