I look at yesterday's photos and see future potential emerging

In a recent post I highlighted the importance of finding the exact aesthetic we desire and how this is a fundamental part of making visual communication meaningful and consistent. With this idea I am not afraid to experiment and therefore make mistakes to get what I want to achieve from my photography. I do it by exposing myself. Through this blog.

This is a matter of honesty with myself, no doubt. But it is also honest with my audience. Which, being different from the common audience, deserves my absolute transparency and a loud talk about the process that leads me to what I become as an author photographer.

I'm not afraid to show myself as absolutely imperfect and I know that my audience is smart enough to understand that, after all, perfection doesn't exist.

In the metropolitan chaos of a day like yesterday, after finishing a roll of film I started shooting with my digital camera and this is the result.
