It’s Tuscany, Jim, but not as we know it.
Lunigiana — this embodiment of mountains, rivers and forest — basks in the ever-changing, ever-beautiful light that has made Tuscany such a magnet for artists. What more could a photographer ask for?

Only once you truly understand what it is that drives your passion for photography, are you able to best invest the time, money and effort needed to achieve your goals.
There’s more to photography than just taking pictures. In this, the first of two introspective articles on how we, as photographers, manage the other aspects of our work, I reflect on whether post-processing is the best term to describe our creative workflow.
The second in my occasional series of articles looking at photography from a philosophical point of view is an introduction to the moral and social dimensions of our work and methods. It is a topic that I will revisit in future texts.
As Hegel might have said, photography that is not art is simply a means to an end. The photograph exists to sell, to document, to represent, to remember, to flatter - the list goes on ... But, when photography becomes art, it is an end in itself.
Vieni più vicino… è un’esposizione di trenta fine art immagini che invita gli spettatori a riconsiderare in che modo percipiscono alcune delle creature e fiori meno amati che ci circondano. Ogni immagine rivela elementi di bellazza e carattere che potrebbero normalmente mancare e che è possibile ottenere solo quando siete vicini e personali. Tutte le immagini sono state scattare nel comune di Fivizzano in Toscana – molte di esse nel mio giardino.
Come closer… is an exposition of thirty fine art photographs that invites viewers to reconsider how they perceive some of the less-loved creatures and flowers that are all around us. Each image reveals elements of beauty and character that might normally be missed and which is only achievable by getting up close and personal. All the images were taken within the borough of Fivizzano in Tuscany – many of them in my garden.
