Some details captured walking around my block

Karyn Crisis Band merchanding's pics

I recently did a photo session to promote my band's new merchandise.

Here below is the official band's logo done by Karyn Crisis. 

It's still unbelievable to me what she can do with a piece of paper and a pencil.

The band's new myspace page has been launched a few days ago, 

www.myspace.com/karyncrisisband. 

We gave to the page a live-vibe kind of look, pushing one of the 

most interesting sides of Karyn as musician: her stage presence.

Here are three shoots from the photo session:

 

Tension

These are twelve pictures from a project I'm working on, based on details of building geometries touched by flat and empty skies.

My purpose is to decontextualize the object creating an alternate dimension of false peace and coldness.

I've been obsessed by geometries since my childhood, in particular by straight line series. The tension in the line itself is what capture my attention:

does this tension die when the line has an end or it continues in an invisible layer?

I love to pic my wife as the witch she is

Parched

I took these pictures in 2006, I was in Tours, France. 

I was searching for some visual material for my band Parched, 

an ambient desert-oriented guitar duo.

I forced myself to work with just two colors.

I always thought that this kind of super depressive imaginary 

matches very well with our songs.

Cameras vs cars

I started taking pictures in 2002, at the time I was living in Venice. I was into geometries and empty spaces.

One day, leaving my parent's house, I was rushing so much that I left the camera on top of my car. And I drove back to Venice. And the camera was gone.

I took it as a sign and to not suffer too much I filled my head of " this was not the right time to take your pics". What concretely happened? I was so broke that I was forced to freeze my photography attempts.

Now I've a new camera and I don't have a car anymore: this definitely seems the right time to return taking pics.

And, yes, I'm still into geometries and empty spaces.

Welcome in my photo blog.
