With a 365 the photographer publicly takes the responsibility of taking and publishing one shot each of the 365 days which make a year. It’s a tough project, which forces consistency and dedication.
I wanted my 365 to be like a diary of my life and my ideas, so I needed a camera to always bring along, wherever I had to go, whatever I had to do. It wasn’t easy since quality and compactness are not exactly synonymous in digital photography.
Finally, for my thirty-third birthday I bought myself a Sony NEX-7, a great little professional system. With it I started my own 365 project (actually a 365+1 project, since 2012 is a leap year), which will end when I turn 34. I made the rule that every picture in the project must be taken with the NEX-7. Each photo gets published along with a short story on the project blog.

Tomorrow we’ll be returning home, a long and exhausting combination of ferry, plane, and car will bring us back to Rome and to whatever is expecting us. […]

This could easily be the topic for a wonderful photographic project (and could have even more easily already been done). There’s something about these squalid, dimly-shiny, uneventful installations, where looka(dis)likes, dull […]

Lens: Voigtlander color-skopar 35mm f2.5Camera: NEX-7, ISO100, f3.5, 1/250, raw I’m really, really, really enjoying the chance that these days of holidays are giving me to finally spend some serious time with my daughter Agata.

Lens: Voigtlander color-skopar 35mm f2.5Camera: NEX-7, ISO100, f4, 1/2000, raw Another postcard from Sardinia, this time a proper sunset-sea-coastline-silhouette postcard. The fact is, this place is so magic I couldn’t resist. I mean, look at the shape of those rocky hills. And at the (lack of) clouds. […]
