The walking

D300 - 24 mm, 1/2 sec f/22, ISO 100

Sparkling jewels I have found
among many other things:
a secret
small and not for sale,
time to think,
a ponytail.

Yet treasures lay,
(my dearest ones)
in blurred paths, so dull and gray
like canvas ready to be stroked
by time itself
and hearts, at play.

A lesson for the ego

D300 - 12 mm, 1/160 f/16, ISO 200

In the shadows of a sunny day

I spotted a pattern.

Simple and shallow it seemed

but who am I to judge?

The absence

D300 - 100 mm, 1/400 sec f/11, ISO 200

Of the many days we shared
I am left with unfocused images,
indistinct tastes
and a hardened heart.

Yet this chant from the past has no consistency
all it takes is a single instant
to wake up
and smile.

Half

D300 - 105 mm, 1/80 sec f/2.8, ISO 200

Here I am,

perpetuating the separation of good and bad,

believing my ego is too big to be beaten

and not realizing that "I" isn't really me.

Corners

D300 - 12 mm, 1/100 sec f/22, ISO 640

Cornered, in a seemingly real existence

if only we could remember

our timeless and shared

happiness.

Patterns

D300 - 100 mm, 1/400 sec f/11, ISO 200


Repeating schemes hiding

the inconveniences of our inner chaos.

Unimaginative temporary

solace.

Under a quiet moon

D300 - 12 mm, 15 sec f/4.0, ISO 200

Under a quiet moon,

on my uneasy feet

I wait

for the silence outside

to melt my frozen self.

The earthquake

D70 - 70 mm, 1/180 sec f/5.6, ISO 200

Basilica di S. Maria di Collemaggio, L'Aquila, Italy.

Honoring the people and the beauty God's will bestowed to the unique region of L'Aquila, the eagle.

Memory is not enough
to hold colors,
laughs and smells.
Not even stones are dead
until you can only see them
through the inadequate eye
of a dusty lens.

Becalmed

D300 - 105 mm, 1/250 sec f/22, ISO 200


Slivers of truth

like sunlight glares appear

on this blurred sea

where I sail.

Seeking.

Nameless

D300 - 24 mm, 1/160 sec f/18, ISO 200

In the sun I hide

in shadow I disappear,

no matter how much I try

loneliness finds me,

as if it were my only friend.

Waiting for...

D300 - 300 mm, 1/340 sec f/11, ISO 200

In time I have found

the meaning of my impatience,

justification to my efforts,

the emptiness of illusions.

But what I'm waiting for still eludes me

and it isn't a matter of time.

Architecture

D300 - 12 mm, 1/40 sec f/4, ISO 1000

It is a game of forces

sustaining our realities,

agreement of minds dreaming of their being.

How great an ingenuity

for a meaningless building.

A former lover

D70 - 300 mm, 1/30 sec f/5.6, ISO 200

Feelings, resurfacing

only to quickly hide

behind the thick curtain of conventionality.

Geometry

D300 - 18 mm, 1/125 sec f/10, ISO 250

Maybe, by chance

I bumped into you, idly dwelling in untrodden fields.

I seek you now like a thirsty man,

like a lover

looking for the beloved face

in every smile he meets.

Entrance

D300 - 100 mm, 1/320 sec f/14, ISO 200

No, don't be fooled by the rusty appearance

the smudged corners, the weathered colors.

The door is shut but not for real

it's only shy

and has been wounded.

Irreversibility

D300 - 185 mm, 1/400 sec f/9.0, ISO 400

Holding water with my hands cupped,
feathers ready to leave my wing
I shouldn't want to leave the last one,
the dearest one.

How dare they say it! How inconsistent the thought
of the new dwarfing the old.
Unique remnant of a past life
it shall always be open to uncountable alternatives.

Savoring the sweet taste of the many futures
offered by the knowledge of the past,
I am oblivious of time
slipping by.

Traces

D300 - 100 mm, 1/500 sec f/6.3, ISO 200

Light, immaterial,

without attachments

we're left with the wind.

Unreadable

D300 - 24 mm, 1/100 sec f/4.0, ISO 200

Searching, rambling,
aimless wand'ring
too many things withered prematurely.

Latched doors,
entangled thoughts
scratching self-constructed boxes

and when one says: "look, I understand!"
- for what it's worth -
it's a dead end.

Still

D300 - 300 mm, 1/320 sec f/7.1, ISO 1000

I weep

for what could have been and is not,

for the beauty I don't see,

for the time lost.

The snake

D300 - 46 mm, 1/160 sec f/7.1, ISO 200

Sometimes.

Unlikely fears,

forebears reminiscence,

geometric beauty.
