Elisa had me label every envelope with dates and places, not feelings - I obeyed almost completely… almost. 🤍
The harshest print came out badly exposed, so naturally I kept it - the chair was never asked to perform. Eccola, amore. ❤️
He asked who I photograph before kissing me, and I laughed too quickly - thank God for that passing cyclist and the silence I still couldn't answer... 🤍
The river made everything feel beautifully unfinished, and now that my roll is almost gone, I'm wondering what I was waiting to save it for… 🤍
Luca arrived with sawdust on his coat, talking about the missing pieces in old frames, while I spent the last light photographing his hands… 🤍
Luca repairing a frame, then asking me to bring the camera to the river… cuore mio, I'm still trembling a little 🤍
A film afternoon with Sofia Ruggieri, leaving the programme folded between us and the uncomfortable feeling that wanting an image to mean something can change what we see... cuore ❤️
An empty chair doubled in the darkroom window; not yet, Enzo - I still don't know whether it belongs beside Luca or nowhere at all. 🤍
Tonight I taped this above my bed: "If I am inside the photograph, what am I asking the viewer to do?" Non posso più fingere che the answer is always someone else. 🤍
My critique partner Beatrice made me choose the less beautiful print - the one that doesn't let anyone admire my sensitivity and leave. Annoyingly, she's right… che regalo crudele. 🤍
I gave Luca the crooked self-portrait and didn't ask him to make it beautiful for me - the series is changing, and I think I can finally see where I am. 🤍
I took Luca's most flattering portrait down and left the pinholes showing - some absences need to be seen before they can be repaired… 🤍
