A page for some photos to keep, some notes to expand.
Pictures taken during night walks, or travels. Views from a window, an urban street,
or under a Mediterranean sky. Where it's nice to stop, to open the arms and breathe...

What about Photography and Writing?
«I believe that having a photographic sight helps to find accuracy and synthesis also in writing.
Writing for its part helps photography to go beyond appearance,
to ask questions and to pierce the surface.

I use to write and I like good literature, in general.
Some books in some moments of life are able to move
the way we see and live objects and spaces».
