I have Canon 5D MkII, with a video function I've never used
The band, Nickel & Dime, with Ivo Sposaro - singer, guitarist and song writer , Antonio Capelli on violin, and Massi Di Fraia, as drummer, came over one evening. To the terrace.
It was really hot but we had a whole lot of fun. A practice run. I plan on improving my skills over the summer so I'm ready for a new series of attempts in the autumn.
Rita, Ivo's lovely wife, filmed me filming them play another song ...
I have been chasing the light here in the caruggi ... the medieval alleyways this city is famous for. In the caruggi, and on the grander streets too, the ones filled with ancient palaces.
And with every movement of the sun, new light is discovered.
A familiar building is bathed in light in a way that makes it new.
It's been a while ...
Because it's summer, perhaps. And the temperature hasn't dipped below 25 celsius for a couple of months, not even at night. So it's hot, and it has been humid too.
And me, I have a lot on my mind and it seems to kill off my writing.
But photography ... every day that I can. The city, most particularly the caruggi, can be viewed on my Love Notes to Genoa FB page.
Miss 12 turned 13 in July. That beautiful, much-loved, little girl who was Miss 3 ... just yesterday.
I have met new people and found new music, here in Genova.
I'm alive :-)
