Intro
Hello everyone,

Everytime I'm starting a new trip I'm catching a dream... Discovering new places and meeting people with different customs, looking for new atmospheres, perfumes, smells, tastes, sounds.
Always I try to talk new languages and comunicate with the local people. Every trip in a new place is like to born again and the curiosity is the attitude I always try to keep.

When you travel you collect sensations: in your soul, in your mind, in your eyes. Away from home your senses are on the alert, ready to catch the new as, all around you is different.

When you came back home and you start again your ordinary life, these new sensations live inside of you like asleep, but suddenly, can happens at any moment, when you are not expecting, it will be maybe a flavour, a sound or maybe a sight that will arouse them and they will involve your mind. It will be like a pain and it will be too late at that time… No way than to start a new trip as soon as you can!

With my photos I try to pass on somebody my sensations about the places I visited and the people I met.

I discovered TE sailing the net, I found it great and I hope to have the chance with your critiques and watching your images, to improve the quality of mine and meet new friends.

A smile.

Luca

"We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next, to find ourselves.
We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate.
We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed.
And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again - to slow time down and be taken in, and fall in love once more." .....
Pico Iyer


November 2009 update
Like water, the world traverses you, and for a while, lends you its colours. It then draws back, leaving you once again to face the emptiness that one carries in oneself, to face that central insufficiency of the spirit that one must learn to live with, to fight, and which, paradoxically, is possibly our surest driving force. (Translated from L'Usage du monde by Nicolas Bouvier)
... so, soon I have to leave again, towards Mauritanian desert and Senegal coasts and historic towns, another world, another dream to catch, another escape...


Here's some of my portraits
