Milan as an old vynil;
my Leica playing the part of the turntable stylus….
This is side A, the one that’s on ads, that’s on top of the charts…

some of the shots from this roll are my favourites amongst the portuguese series…

unfortunately, I had the great idea of fucking up the development, first using an expired Ilfosol 3 that produced very transparent (i.e. underdeveloped) negatives, secondly by accidentally scratching and damaging the film in a very thoroughly way….
sounds like a Robert Capa kind of trouble, if it weren’t for the fact I am not as good as the Master was…

Lisboa deserves color… although some 400 Neopan pushed a bit far (22C°, 6.5 mins in D76) can produce some pleasant contrast

Ericeira and its most known surf spot, Ribeira D’Ilhas

Sintra and its Palacio da Pena

Obidos, one of the most fascinating medieval villages in Europe

Peniche and Cabo Roca, the most western tip of continental Europe

Last roll from my recent visit to London, a delta 400, probably my favourite in the London series…

this year the winter sales season may have more meaning, given the coming recession… apparently, italians can’t leave without their favourite brands, come rain or come shine…

taking my Leica inside the apple…

Singa-pura, i.e. the city of the tiger, can be really an amazing place to visit, with its tradition and modernity getting along together in an incredible melting pot of chinese, indians, europeans that meet there for business, food and leisure. Two things are really impressive when walking around Singapore: its incredible sense of safety and cleaniness on the streets, and the amazing humidity!!

I’ts been rainy in Milan lately; this forces me to use public transport, which is a nice opportunity to bring my M6 with me in the pocket and steal some moments from the daily routine…
