Photography and Other Stuff – Chapter 1

I decided to begin a new feature on this blog, regarding what I read, watched, listened or did in the last week(s), also about photography, but not only. It could be a good way to show you the last photos I took on the streets but also to tell you something about my other passions, like books, movies and music. Roma is very warm this month, so it’s not easy to go out and take new pictures. In ten days I’ll move, like every summer, in Southern Italy for 5/6 weeks, so I’ll try to feed my inspirations with new photos from Monopoli (the beautiful city where my family comes and where I go since forever).

By the way, I didn’t mention what it’s happening in Ukraine: I’ll do a post in the next days with a selection of pictures from photographers that are working there (if you are interested, there is a list on twitter). It’s terrible, I’m following the situation in real time and I’m really scared. Let’s hope the conflict ends soon.
