A matter of time and lullabies


The man standing in front of the forthcoming future.
It is not a dark or uncertain future, there is light, limpid sky, a convergence of hopes.
But he's leaving the magic world of his childhood. The miracles are over and the sound of lullabies is vanishing below the new noise rising in the background.

Made in Kefalonia, wonderful Greek island in 2010. By the way, in the water there were a lots of little crabs and (SIGH!) I suffer from arachnophobia. Not a pleasant situation.

May I suggest to you "Potpourri magazine" ?


It is a brand new photographic and, more generally, visual-art magazine. Written in both English and Italian.
I like it: it is fresh, new, well designed and, more important, full of interesting contents coming from the "normal authors", people coming from the web and not picked up from Galleries and promoted by the market or by the "art academies".
It has a normal paper (recycled paper) version (four issues a year) and a web version (one issue a month).
I encourage you to give a glance to the magazine site.

New video: Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun



Zefram photography as video-track of the Floyd's masterpiece "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun".
Other words are not worth.

The afterglow of the children's final fairy tale


Uh, well, ... what to say ?

There are two reading keys for image.
It could be seen as a translation into an image of the Pink Floyd's song "Childhood's end". Indeed everyone can see that this image is from a fairy tale, a strange one of course. But it is not the beginning if the tale. This is not the "once upon a time ...". It seems tailored to represent the final tale, after which no other children's fairy tale can be written. The "children's final fairy tale", indeed.
But the story is only apparently in the sunlight, maybe it is lived on the edge of the last ray of light or just after it. The afterglow of the tale.
But I told that there are two reading keys. The above was the former. The latter is maybe simpler: I was diving under 2300 feet in the deep ocean (I'm a skilled scuba diver) and suddenly two dolphins appeared, jumping all around me. At the same time the well-known ball-fishes (very curious fishes, you know) come to give a glance to this unusual scenario, making it even more unusual. I was lucky: I had with me my camera (yeha, you guessed right, water resistant) and I was fast enough to freeze all this in the image you see.
Fantastic day, that day !
