I'm an engineer: a micro-electronic engineer. Not long after graduating at the Engineering College of the University of Rome, "La Sapienza", I began my migration to north. I have lived for sixteen years in Saronno, not far from the hearth of Milan, where I proudly worked in a R&D unit of Ericsson AB. On October 1st 2014 the R&D site where I was based was handed over to new company, leader in the technology consultancy market. I felt immediately it was no longer my harbor. Not long after, I decided to set sails and drive my boat elsewhere. So I moved to Austria, in Graz, where I'm currently working as Engineering Manager for a semiconductors world leading company.
My past professional activity has lead me often to foreign countries, in Europe, where my previous company acted and developed: Scandinavia, UK, France, Germany and Hungary to name a few. This offered me the opportunity to practice and explore the mysteries of photography. Travelling, airports, streets and night scenes have been recurring topics in my pictures. Same applies to B&W photography, for which I developed a personal recipe to postprocess, or better to elaborate my shots.
I started writing and maintaining this blog in 2010, as a complementary section of my (no longer maintained) website, where I once used to keep my personal scroll-page of news and thoughts. Some time after, I realized that using a customizable showcase as Blogger would allow me to save time, update it more frequently and reach a larger visual audience.
To my regret, the evolution of the online social medias is apparently making more and more outdated the use of a personal blogs in photography. We could argument for endless hours on the meaning of the word "photography", today and what remains of it, compared to no more than ten years ago. Notwithstanding this trend, I still believe in the power of the binary-log, where I am still free to decide what and how to expose, without feeling sorry for the number of "likes" and "views" that I get. That's why these pages are still alive. It's my album.
Enjoy!
