Skull

Study of a skull. Pencil on paper

Whatever you are thinking...is wrong.

There is something about the ordinary that can be re framed and proliferate into your imaginary unconsciousness.

The longest path

I don't usually do landscape photography since I find it quite boring. Landscape photographers tend to use too much photoshop to win over the always growing internet competition to the point of making the subjects unreal.

Although I leave Hollywood like effects to photographers who spend more time on the computer than on the camera I still like sometimes to experiment with this media.

Anyway, the weather is horrible outside!

This was taken in Sicily.

Scopello

I took this picture in Scopello (Sicily) a small village of 80 souls which grew around a baglio (fortified buildings which contained a courtyard, sort of little castles). It still has an intact feudal-Sicily era identity to it and although there's not much to do there (really, the place is microscopic) it is definitely well worth visiting.
I did various shots of this fountain before this one so when this dog suddenly jumped on I was lucky to have the camera already set up to my preferences . I knew it was a matter of seconds before I would lose momentum, no much time to think.
The two pigeons at the other side was another lucky coincidence.
Overall a very atmospheric image that reminds me of my beloved island.
