The Morning Sun

Gozo, Nature and Thought, Outside world, The sea

The sun was still midway through the horizon and the air around was still quite comfortable, brisk but not too much, for I had been walking up a small hill, fully equipped with my 75-300, the smaller 18-55, the flash and the 28-200 Tamron beast of a lens (My fav ). well by the time I wrote this sentence the sun had risen a little bit more so I had to stop and shoot a good intro for this post.

As the sun appeared to rise skywards the light that reflected on the sea moved further away, slowly fading

Caught in a storm of metaphors

Dec 3

Nature and Thought, Outside world, Travel, Tuscany

In the shade, under an old Franciscan construction part of a monastery, watching a storm approach towards the place I rest. It felt odd that I was in the shade after walking up a steep hill in the scorching sun and now watching a storm buildup just minutes away from a real heavy shower.

La Capitale in Chiaroscuro

La Capitale in Chiaroscuro

A photographic exhibition about the hidden treasures of Valletta.

All 21 photographs in this exhibition focus on the areas in Valletta that are usually full of activity and hectic during the day but calm down during the night. And here is where the magnificence of this city lushes out in silence. When I was a kid I used to run from one street to another with my grandparents and wondered who had ever built such a fortress, such a place that looked boundless to me those days.

During most of my visits to this city I discovered her hidden secrets of the past, the strongholds that kept Valletta what it is today. In due course I also discovered that time has not spared her lusciousness, her strength, and there is where I wanted to contribute. I wanted to bring out what many might ignore during the day, the architecture that has survived several years, the many facets that the city still enjoys.

The exhibition is being held at:

Omerta Trattoria & Wine Bar

92, Old Bakery Street,

Dawn of a new beginning

Apr 1

architecture, Malta, the past, The sea, Valletta

Blue skies, cumulus clouds, inspired by the dominance of the silence that lays beforth me. Valletta was speaking again or else it was myself who started to listen again. Hopping from one rock formation to another, beneath the fortifications I realize the grandeur of this architectural marvel. It is unbelievable that this fortification has undergone two great wars and they are still standing, and which probably will still stand triumphantly for the years to come.

Like a dandelion

Gozo, Malta, Nature and Thought, Outside world, Searching, The sea

Lost into the depths of alienation, wondering from one place to another, venturing into places I have never been before, lost. For so long I have not seen my reflection, I have not heard my voice anywhere, my Qi wondering off like a dandelion carried by the winds of society.
