The Florentine caretaker

Looking elsewhere...

Linda and Domenico, my grandparents

Linda and Domenico, my grandparents, on my Mom's side. The portrait was taken at R.Prezioso, a studio photographer very much in vogue in 1920s-1930s Genoa, Italy.
I love the pose, how my grandma puts her hand on my grandad shoulder, and I also love the background painting, the balustrade, the steps on the right, and right behind my grandparents a river, or a large avenue, framed by trees. To me the river behind them represents the life journey they embarked on together.

An American fashion label-the vintage series

Yesterday I was again on one of my "paparazzi" missions: this time I headed towards the vintage stores downtown.
I love fashion vintage and the bright, psychedelic patterns from the 1960s and 70s.
Shame the label is slightly out of focus!

At Chanel's-the water can and the logo

A blurred vision of Chanel

I was on one of my secret missions yesterday, one of my "therapeutic" and mood enhancing trips to the most elegant and chic shopping venues downtown. I simply had to take out my cell phone and take a few snapshots, well, more than a few... This shot is slightly blurred, but I don't mind, in my view the image has almost a ghostly "je ne sais quoi" about it, chic and mysterious.
I will soon upload more photos from my latest fashion tour...

My first time in N.Y.

...during my first year at University, my class mates and I had such a great time! I took this shot from inside one of those posh downtown fashion boutiques.

Those wonderful hands...
