It’s the story of a man looking for America and couldn’t find it.
Still from Easy Rider
One motorcycle. One Leica M6. A bunch of color film. And no computer.
See you in a couple of months.

Estamos Buscando A – We’re Looking For Article on Camera Obscura
.
Was asked a few weeks ago by Fabiano Busdraghi of Camera Obscura to contribute an article. What’s interesting about Camera Obscura is the fresh approach to the sharing/publishing of photography and a photographer’s work on the internet.
On the Internet information about the artists and photographers are often very superficial. The idea behind Camera Obscura is to fill this void publishing long and in-depth articles about photography. Creating in this way a space where artist can deepen the analysis and description of their work, a space to develop the discussion, where words and concepts have nearly the same importance of pictures.
