Una giornata in Valle Cavanata
(a day at Valle Cavanata) or, how hangin out with friends turns out great for photo competitions.
We like to hang out on weekends making photos, a good company always turns out fun and good pictures even on the worst days. On a weekend in february we decided to head to Valle Cavanata (www.vallecavanata.it) a local natural reserve based on an old fishing valley. The site is actually perfect for bird observing and shooting (camera shooting of course :-) and being a humid place it's also perfect for waterscapes and infrared photography.
By the way there was this photo competition going on at the reserve, another good point in being there getting things done .
(here's another amazing video by Stefano Radin)
We started taking things quite seriously, birds landscapes and everything nice, even though we didn't succeed in entering the reserve without a guide.

We moved then to the observer's nest to have some inside fun
Somebody sayd i didn't take the competition theme seriously, i frankly don't see the point but you can judge yourself looking at the photos and video :-)
Here's the three pictures i submitted:
The winners will be announced on 24/04/09 17:30 at the Reserve's lodge.

Il Pescatore e altre oziose storie
The book by Cecilia Deni is finally out on Lulu, order or download it from here .Written between 2003 and 2006, it's a collection of poetry and short stories that dig into human's life deeply, on the thin line between life and death, sanity and denial.
This is the photo on the cover, i did it for the book after hearing from Cecilia, some time ago.
I hope you'll like the book, she's an awesome writer and woman.
