Let's introduce myself.
I shoot photos.
Preferably on film.
Possibly on medium format.

I took these two portraits of Irish houses on 120 Kodak Tri-X with my beloved Mamiya RZ 67.

Fear is the enemy.
Sometimes the only reason to take a photo is just the unique way the light shines on a white wall.

Camera: Mamiya RZ67
Film: Kodak Portra 400

This was an afternoon in County Mayo, Ireland. The sky was unbelievably clear and the light so crisp it resembled an Hopper painting.

Camera: Mamiya RZ67
Film: Kodak Portra 160

Northern Italy, 2024

Pulled out at the side of a long, straight and deserted road to photograph a bell tower in the middle of nowhere. No church, no chapel, only the tower.

A dystopian drama. In Barry Blitt’s latest Kvetchbook, the illustrator reimagines Elon Musk and his cohorts at the Department of Government Efficiency as the antihero droogs in “A Clockwork Orange.” www.newyorker.com/cartoons/bli...

I shot these images on a 50 iso film (Cinestill) in the late afternoon. I thought they were hot garbage, but, surprisingly, they have this painterly look that I love.

Abandoned horse racetrack. Found casually while browsing google Maps.

With the new Instagram layout and the new tech-bros oligarchy in the States, I guess it's to start thinking more seriously about ditching Meta. BlueSky seems promising.

I'm definitely too shy and anxious to portray people (I'm working on this, I swear), so I take portraits of houses. They're very polite and don't reject you.

Today I managed to see an exhibition in Rome about Franco Fontana, one of the pioneers of Italian color photography in 70' together with Luigi Ghirri. Amongst the photos there was a portrait of Fontana and David Hockney, which strangely was one of my favorites from the exhibition.

Two frames from the West Cork. Shot last summer on a multi day Irish roadtrip.

Saw this simple scene at the side of the road. The light was so gorgeous I had to pull over.

A couple shots from the Atlantic Irish coast. Two of my favorites images from the trip, the gave me a Joel Meyerowitz/ Sternfeld kind of vibes.

Ma esiste una community di fotografi e fotografe italiane qua su Bluesky? Esiste una lista? La si crea?

I want a "Ansel Adams photographing gorgeous landscapes from the roof of his cars" kinda life. Not stupid Teams meetings.
