Photo Projects
My Blog!
One
I like some of my pictures much more than others, regardless of what people say and beyond any objective technical analysis. ‘One’ is my 2019 preferred ‘creature’ so far, and is making me consider a black and white only photo project… Shot in Venice Beach with the Fuji X-T1 and 56mm f/1.2, the picture was […]
On the Light, again
On the Light, again. Another post inspired by the light, by its effect on the environment and ultimately on ourselves and our feelings and mood
