TITLE: my shadows & my lights

Tonight out there there is a strange, almost magical silence ... it is not scary ... there is the moon that can be seen in the sky and although in the middle of the night there is no darkness. Tonight the birds are heard singing as it happens at the dawn of a new day. The streets are deserted tonight, only one steering wheel passes slowly along the street. Tonight for the first time I let the tears flow, because I too am a little afraid, because I also feel a little lonely in the middle of the night, because I also need to let go of everything that comes, fears, negative emotions ..
Maybe I will be able to let go, to accept with serenity and awareness that it had to go like this .. even if it wasn't the way I wanted it to go ... because I didn't want to show yet how much I can do it alone, how strong I am. .no, very simply I would have liked to let myself be embraced and cry or dance for no reason in the light of a kitchen. Yes, I would like hugs, kisses on the neck and rubbing noses. I won't have them tonight and not even tomorrow .. but I don't want to forget it, they will come back sooner or later.

It happens that you are there, observing something that you didn't see before, listening to what you didn't hear before .. Every part of tea turns into one thing .. and the camera becomes the means to stop time, to try to enclose everything in an image.
Here is what every time I try to do, to be able to tell through an image the colors, sounds, sensations, emotions that make that moment, a moment to stop in time.
To tell about you in a hundredth of a second.
From turin, 35 years old, lover of photography since ever, for ten years it has become an integral part of my life and my work.
