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.

Lens: Voigtlander color-skopar 35mm f2.5 Camera: NEX-7, ISO100, f4, 1/160, raw There are many disturbing things in this picture, I guess, or I’m simply a disturbed observer of simple views. But, come on, in the city such a landscape would represent the extreme poverty of people forced […]

Yesterday we arrived on the mountains […]

Despite being in […]

So weird that it could have ended solely in a place like this, the food tent of the “Errani Circus”, at Capannelle, in Rome. It all started when Mario Sgueglia, the […]
