Banks Kills People

I want to start talking about the films that I liked much in my life.

Vanilla Sky is not my favourite, but inside it I found some concepts, and some meanings, that made me grieve over and move deeply.

In a moment of my life like this, I understand how much things that I look, listen at, and feel, involves me.
And how much they influence my way of thinking and the way I act.
And also the way I dream.

That’s and acknowledgement of weakness for me, because I always tried to made me of myself and nothing else.
I always tried to close into meditation, deep comprehension of my mind, to avoid things to influence me and take me out of my road.

Now I’m changing.
The master in photography that I’m making…
… forced me to open my mind and put down my guard.

That’s quotes from Vanilla Sky:

English

“What is any life without the pursuit of a dream?”

“Just remember, the sweet is never as sweet without the sour, and I know the sour. ”

“This is a revolution of the mind. ”

She, shouting: “Don’t you know that when you sleep with someone, your body makes a promise whether you do or not !?”

He: “Do you remember what you told me once?
That every passing minute is a another chance to turn it all around. ”
She: “I’ll find you again. ”
He: “I’ll see you in another life… when we are both cats. “

“I want to live a real life… I don’t want to dream any longer. “

“My dreams are a cruel joke. They taunt me.
Even in my dreams I’m an idiot… who knows he’s about to wake up to reality.
If I could only avoid sleep.
But I can’t.
I try to tell myself what to dream.
I try to dream that I am flying.
Something free.
It never works…”

“Somebody died. It was me. “

Italiano

“Cos’è la vita se non l’inseguimento di un sogno? ”

“Ricordati, il dolce non è mai così dolce senza l’aspro, ed io conosco l’aspro. ”

“Questa è una rivoluzione della mente. ”

Lei, urlando: “Non sai che quando vai a letto con qualcuno, il tuo corpo fa una promessa con quella persona che tu lo voglia o no !?”

Lui: “Ricordi cosa mi hai detto quel giorno?
Ogni minuto che passa, è un’occasione per rivoluzionare tutto completamente. ”
Lei: “Ti troverò di nuovo. ”
Lui: “Ci rivedremo in un’altra vita quando saremo tutti e due gatti. “

“Voglio vivere una vita vera, non piu’ un sogno.”

“I miei sogni sono uno scherzo crudele, mi beffano.
Anche nei miei sogni sono un idiota che sa che sta per svegliarsi nella realta’.
Se solo potessi evitarmi di dormire,
ma non posso.
Cerco di dirmi cosa sognare,
cerco di sognare di volare,
qualcosa di liberatorio,
non funziona mai.”

“Qualcuno è morto. Ero io. “

That’s true also for me…

I try to say to myself what to dream, constantly.

But it never works.

The funny thing is that I wrote my last post some days ago spontaneously, but three weeks after I saw again this film, writing down these quotes for a future use.

Now my question should be…
That proofs the influence that what I look, like films, influences me?
Or it just proofs that this film made me move deeply because who did it was very similar to my way of acting?

Damn it…
This way to put a point:
“Now my question should be…”
makes me think about Matrix.

A volte sogno così forte
che non riesco più
a distinguere i sogni
dalla realtà.

Altre volte mi ritrovo
a sognare ad occhi aperti,
alterando la realtà fino a
farla diventare impossibile.

Mi domando qual’è il senso,
di questa interminabile
serie di noiose novità
e scontate rivelazioni.

Mi domando chi sono.

I uploaded some pictures.

I miss tirty… and I miss also the time to do things better.

In the meantime, here they are.

Edit: now I uploaded every picture of my Rome-Milan trip.

Damn… the internet explorer problem with this website was really stupid.

After months I had some time and an intuition to find wich it was the real problem, and I resolved it.

Internet Explorer Sucks.

Here they are, 50 cool new pictures of these 10 days.

I’m going to add some other great Potraits tomorrow.

I don’t have much time to write about the things I do…

However, two weeks ago I went for two days at Arte Sella, a nice exposition of natural art near Trento.

I saw a lot of interesting things, however, the best photos I did was portraits of the people that was with me.

All the pictures are already published, however I gathered them up here:


Italiano


Durante il giorno,
ciò che osservo curioso impressiona
i miei occhi, lasciandovi tracce
di fuoco sullo sfondo nero della mia camera buia.

Quando li osservo, prima di addormentarmi,
vi ritrovo i luoghi dove sono stato,
ed i ricordi sfumando si agitano,
prendendo la forma dei miei desideri.

Mi abbandono ad essi dubbioso,
con la paura di sempre
e l’aspra incertezza che
accompagna il mio domani.

Sono attimi in cui il niente, vuol dire tutto.
La fantasia si confonde con la realtà,
ed un altro sogno sostituisce quello precedente,
in un susseguirsi di giorni infinito, che dura un’intera vita.

Anche io infondo,
sono una pellicola da impressionare.
E quindi la vita è una singola foto
con un’esposizione molto lunga.

English


During the day,
what I gaze curiously impresses
my eyes, leaving on them traces
of fire on the black background of my dark bedroom.

When I observe them, falling asleep,
I find in those signs the places I have been,
and my memories vanish and shakes,
taking the shape of my desires.

I abandon to them doubtful,
with the well-known fear
and the sour uncertainty that
accompanies my tomorrow.

Those are moments in which nothing, means everything.
My fantasies gets confused with the truth,
and another dream replaces the previous,
in an infinite hunting of days, that stills an entire life.

Indeed,
I’m myself a film to make an impression onto.
And therefore,
life is one single photography,
with a very long exposure.

In the still unfinished March, I took 1500 pictures, and in this weekend I took the occasion to publish some of them (80).

Their quality is a lot higher of the pictures I used to take months ago.

I’m changing completely my vision of  photography, adding technique and thickness to my work.

I will write about it, someday.
Until that day, just watch the pictures.

Of course as always, inside the “good work” there is some shit I publish for other reasons than the pictures themselves.

It took me a long time to re-organize my new photos, also creating new galleries to divide them better.

I hope I’ll not change this structure in the future.

You can see my new photos here and my new galleries here.

The photos I’ll continue to publish in this website are just experiments, not important works.
I’m creating a new website for my commercial and not commercial official works.
