If you have been to the village of Cobh in Ireland, or if you thought about going there and did some search on the internet, you’ve certainly seen the Deck of Cards before… Not sure you’ve seen it taken from this spot, just while a grey sky opened up for a short while allowing a […]
The Audacity of Beauty
Beauty can exist in unexpected places. It may not be of the kind that we would expect, or that we are used to. Train your eye to see the beauty: there are already so many photographers that show us the worst that the world can offer. Instead, focus on what is good. Sometimes, what makes […]
Champions or Nothing!
To fully understand this post you should see a spectacular movie from Paolo Villaggio (check it out at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lohfp_XenDc; minute 1:54). Our approach to the UK culture started from the right place: the pub. Apart from the beer counter, the king of every serious pub is the snooker pool! Snooker is probably the most difficult […]
London won’t forget – Iconic UK 221911-02
Nice trip to London for our Birthdays. Although I am not a big-city person, I admit that London’s compelling charm is hard to resist… Moving around easily and finding dozens of interesting things to do, no need to plan in advance, is another perk that I rarerly found elsewhere. And then there are London people: […]
The Fire in a Flower
It’s just a matter of waiting for the right time of the day, when the sun trickles in…
Soul Reader
Both Marta and I agree on Augustina’s power. At times, it feels like she can read your mind and soul.

If you want to see Marta’sinterpretation […]
Happy Saudi National Day!

Iconic UK 220604
Iconic UK is a new project that I started in 2021: it features those pictures that, more than others, tell the story of our everyday UK life. Currently, there are 22 pictures and potentially a thousand more that I still need to process: it’s an ongoing project that will evolve, and change perspective with time, […]
Who you are with is all that matters
From my photo collection ‘Iconic USA’, back in the old days when walking inside a bar with a mask on your face would cause the police to have a talk with you… Carnival 2020 in Galveston, TX.
Preparing the 2021 List of Good Things…
This is just a placeholder for a post yet to come: as we are slowing down and approaching the end of 2021, it’s time to explore the year backward, looking for the many changes ad positive things that are now part of our lives. We won’t let the negativity drag us down, because there’s plenty […]
