Hello Giovanni. I am at home in this days with a real strong tootache that make me feel estremely bad. I meet Mr Umicini only one time and i really wish to know him better. I am happy that he still remeber that work that we did last september.
There was me and anothe friend of mine called Filippo Leonardi. We used a large format camera size 5x7 and we made undred portarits on direct positive paper during that 3 days. This was his portrait.

Drat!

when I was first looking around for a 5x7 field camera, eventually settling on a Linhof Tech, one of the 'projects' I considered was 'surfers'.. like fresh off their session

I consider them along the lines of the last of the cowboys


now..if I wasn't so lazy..I'd have been shooting this for a couple years already - -


but..since I am too lazy.. I'm glad you are doing it..and doing it right


excellent pix

Thank you very very much. I also think at them as the last of the cowboys like you say. Cinsider also that Italy is not exactly a surf land but there are some and i get really impressed of their communities. I am at the beginning of this project and now that will come back spring and summer again i will keep shooting picture to them.
