After almost 40 years I am back to ‘analogue’. I return to analog photography, film photography that is associated with my digital photography. This phrase “use the treasures you have kept” is from a great friend of mine – Ricardo ‘Lilika‘ Lima – and it expresses a deep feeling about the film photography that he feels and that I have felt again in the last few days.

This thought is (very) valid for me in photography. The (many) trials (and errors) are (most of the time) more interesting than the end result. Continue reading ““the real is not at the exit or at the arrival but in the middle of the crossing.” (joão guimarães rosa)”

Passion for roads: losing myself to find myself
I don’t know how to explain – and maybe there is no need to explain anything – … I just like to stretch out on the roads … to lose myself on them and, perhaps, to find myself in their long curves, straights, downhill and ascents, itersections.

Monochrome or color landscapes?
I always thought that extremely multi-colored landscapes – like the ones I recently photographed in Jujuy and Salta provinces, Northwest Argentina – should only be photographed and published in some way in color. But the results I have obtained in black and white have delighted me. Continue reading “Monochrome or color landscapes?”

Not surprisingly, they are first and foremost very happy.
