The 1x.com platform recently awarded this photograph of mine.
I don't deny that it's a small satisfaction given the general level of the platform.
As many of you will know, I don't particularly like competitions and prizes, even though I have frequented that world from the inside, having often been a juror in photography competitions and having also organized very important ones.
It's not my concept of photography and I don't like the direction competitions are taking at all. With this platform I only intend to share my images with other people with the same passion as me. If every now and then some recognition comes for some of my work, well it can only please me. Here is the photograph.

The 1x.com platform published a recent photograph of me.
It's a great satisfaction because this platform is very different from the others and implements mechanisms to publish only photographs of undoubted technical-compositional value and content.
The works must first pass a selection among the various members of the platform and if they are declared suitable they are subjected to a qualified jury which decides whether they are worthy of publication or not.
I generally don't post my photographs on social platforms (with the exception of Facebook) but I willingly joined 1x.com perhaps also to get myself involved again.

My first and fundamental passion, as those who follow me know, is photography. This is a photography site and its contents are photographic. It has always been this way, it is this way now and it will always be this way. But in recent years I have approached the world of cinema and filmmaking. which captured me quite a bit. Some time ago I was commissioned to do a job for my city and from there I started working on videos and directing. Today I created, with work lasting almost three years, a documentary on the pollution of our seas by plastics and microplastics entitled "EEA of PLASTIC - the offense to Circe's sea". The documentary is being evaluated in numerous national and international competitions and will soon be presented in the city of Latina. Here is the EEA trailer

In August 2020 I was commissioned to do a job by two Latina associations operating in the marine sector. The occasion was an event that took place in the sea in front of Foceverde.
A group of divers collected, in just over two hours and in apnea, a mountain of waste of all kinds, pipes, plastic, cylinders, nets, and a lot of other rubbish.
I had, with my collaborators, the task of documenting everything.
Citizens were very involved and the event was a notable success. The result was a fairly nice and comprehensive short documentary.
Here is the documentary

The online magazine UNIVERSO FOTO published one of my articles:
I'm always happy when that happens; And not out of hedonism or a sense of personal complacency. Anyone who knows me knows that this matters little to me.
I'm pleased but because it's a further way of sharing what I do with other people with the same passion as me and who I don't know.
And maybe I will be even happier if someone wants to share the photo and video contents present on this website and in my social channels.

There was a recent new entry in my photographic kit. In fact, I recently purchased a brand new 5Ds-R. It is Canon's top of the range in terms of sensor megapixels which are 50.
I have long needed a camera with such extreme features. It is a very particular camera that is capable of providing crazy detail. But precisely because of the large number of pixels in the sensor it is a difficult camera to use and which gives its best in certain photographic sectors. I will use it practically only for landscape and macro photography. And I'm sure it will give me enormous satisfaction.
I preferred to take the "R" version because it does not have the low pass filter (or anti-aliasing) and this increases its sharpness even further. I haven't had the chance to test it properly in the field yet but I will do so soon. If you want to know more, visit the official Canon website.
Furthermore, I also purchased a drone with excellent performance, the Hubsan Zino. I've already done a few shoots and had a blast. I think that soon I will publish some videos on the site and on my Youtube and Facebook channels. Stay tuned!
