Being here today brings me back.
Where Seven years ago; I remember my first hike with my inseparable two friends.
That was just a curiosity to be on the top and having fun with them during the whole way.
I was 22 years old and I had bought my first iPhone (iPhone 7) where I was trying to film something, but as you can see it was a disaster 😁🤭 I was more focused to capture the moment and the view. Everything was new for me; i never had a chance to go there, even if I lived nearby Como Lake. I was excited to make sure that I’m not going to miss on anything. For me, it wasn’t important to record in horizontal or vertical angle.
Now few years later, This has become a passion. I’m still trying to learn how to make a video, take a picture and hold the phone straight. And when the weather alows it, I go to the mountain. I think I have connected a lot with the mountain. I fell in love with the sunrise, the sunset, the rain, the panorama, the wind, the stars and all the colors it is able to offer during the year.
I don’t really know what I’m doing but, one thing is certain: sometimes I just want to escape, get lost .. and then find myself in the middle of nothing. Where the only thing to dominate is silence. It’s silent noises .. Able to clear my mind, to have another point of view with the panorama it offers, teaching me to listen to nature. Where I feel like I’m in a sacred temple. In which I recharge myself with his energy. And then return to civilization.
And when I get to the city I feel like I’m living two completely different lives.
In the city sometimes there is the impression that you are always in a hurry, trying to keep your professionalism high. Where socializing is not lacking and allows me to continue doing the work I have always wanted and for which I am immensely grateful.
In the mountains instead I seem to go to the psychologist, but it has an opposite effect I go there to listen to nature and what I have inside of me. Removing my doubts and enjoying the moments. And I realize that this difference keeps me in balance for now.
Photography
For me, photography is more than just a photo.
An extra look through different lights, colors and contexts.
And having the camera always at hand is like having an external memory always ready to IMMORTALIZE MOMENTS and that helps me keep my mind free.
Every click is a code word capable of imprisoning a thousand points of view and every second of those moments.
To be continued..
