Maundering

Wednesday i’ll be at the Padova’s Photoclub with around two hundred photos and one hour worth of topics about street and travel photography.
I wonder if we’ll be friends.

speaking in public

I have a conference about travel and street photography scheduled in ten days and still don’t have a clue on what to say and how.
It’s my first time holding a public conference.
I guess i’ll bring some cards, a ball and some bottles.

polaroid’s reborn

I had been following the impossible project since polaroid discontinued the production of 600 film .

Right now the impossible has been made possible. While since some time ago the impossible online shop made some of the most common polaroid film available again (600, sx-70, type 100 mainly coming from stored films and/or chemicals) now the production of film is back again, with the PX-100 (a b&W sx-70 film, good for sx-70s or 600 cameras with some basic and quick hacking).

Having been at the Rome’s Photoshow i can tell the interest in polaroid instant film is alive and kicking. Polaroid’s stand wasn’t that much, being based mainly on Spectra film manipulation, but the public was stunned and interested at the TauVisual stand where a mix of fake and true polaroid was taking place.

(Be kind and visit Federica's place.)

So, stop by the impossible shop and be sure to get back to your polaroid love.

I tested the 600 film (this 4 shots above, for example) and am still experimenting with the Fade to Black film (which is indeed kind of emotional).

Sunday 14 March took place the final event for the Urban competition.

Print Available

You might remember i mentioned the first DotArt exibition a couple of times here. There’s still a week left. And you might want to enjoy a print of the winner image, delivered right at your place. Enjoy.

"Secondo Topolino"

Urban – last days

As you know the Urban competition , which may grant you 200€ cash and a big sized high quality print, is almost over. While i know for sure more interesting art events are coming from the DotArt people i can’t wait for the unveiling of the competitors..

Yesterday i had a word with the staff and can tell you (it’s not entirely settled yet) that your works will be judged by an art director, a professional advertising photographer, a professional illustrator and an art professor. Maybe.

Well, i still haven’t chosen the shots to submit. In fact what i know now is that this next photo taken in Berlin won’t be part of the competition.

somehow i like this photo even if something's missing.. Should i try another crop? What i like is the sensation of a stage built by the people around the main actress.

First DotArt exibition

Now now now i think you’re missing something.
If you’re living within driving distance from Trieste you might enjoy DotArt first exibition at the ExpoBuffet Franceschini, via Beccaria.
You can do lots of things attending at the exibition (until the 13th of march). For example you can enjoy a top class buffet at the opening party (ops, all gone now)

Also, you can vote for your favourite photo. All votes will be running for one 5-serving 5-wines 2-people dinner (and believe who’s tasted the stuff, it’s really worth).
And don’t forget you’re enjoing both amazing art and wonderful wines while you’re there!

exibition's flyer

Having been there during the setup i’ve filmed some snapshots of the exibition, the setup and, later, the buffet before people started attending. And also i took some pictures, here’s the small gallery.

Actually i liked the Real Life Version most, so much i did buy the cd, which i listen while working now…

Seems i’m not that kind of hardcore guy.

Ah, there’s an annoying complete serie of all the pics i took that night @ http://www.chiot.it/gallery/gallery.php?g=pf_factory
