Zombies through the night
Was it a zombie altogether? I was at night in a deserted street, not even a meter away from her and she was so concentrated she didn't even notice I was there taking pictures. Geneva streets are full of zombies! Watch out, you could be pictured...
The building was designed by the great Swiss Architect Mario Botta.

Artist portrait at his Geneva atelier: Michel Huelin
Discovering the magnificent work of Swiss artist Michel Huelin during an Open Studio visit in Geneva, today. I had also the chance to meet the artist and make a portrait of him. The lighning conditions were quite difficult, with neon and LED lights which are hard lights for portraits, but I am reasonable satisfied with my portrait. If you want to see the artist's work, go to : www.huelin.ch or better, visit his studio in Geneva.

Art at my feet
Art on the road. Empty roads around the block reveal beautiful patterns, colors, cracks. It had been raining most of the day, when I finally took the camera it was almost midnight. Deserted streets and art just under my feet.

The Human Body Project is inspired in the title of a photo contest "The Human Body". I have been reflecting about it and have started a series of nude photographies. Models are welcome! Here with a filter in order to hide nakedness (beware of censorship) and far from the colors of my final version, but the idea is there. Comments are also welcome!

Outside Office hours
Night microcosmos through my fish-eye lense. Trying to convey new impressions from this intriguing fassade. The SPG Headquarter building was designed by Giovanni Vaccarini Architetti. The envelope is comprised of a triple layer of glass added to which is a fourth layer with a ventilated chamber containing the package of micro-perforated Venetian blinds to regulate the light.
At night the glass panels are lit by white LED lights that bring the architectural block to life and make it shimmer, in dialogue with the nighttime urban landscape in which it is set.

Shopping bag
This is a vintage shopping bag dating from 7-8 years ago. It carried my birthday present at that time and has been hanging on my cupboard door ever since. Not that I am crazy about brands, but this was one of the best gifts ever.

The traveller
A try at fine art photography. Sometimes it takes a while till I get the image I fisrt saw in my mind before shooting. Had to take away all ugly elements from the pic till I got what I wanted. The pic was taken in Geneva in the afternoon, after working at the WMO. I felt inspired by the lines

Transit spaces, Geneva
As I was strollig around after lunch I entered this empty tunnel and got stunned by the circles and the light coming in from the sides. Transit spaces have something special, even when they are empty they have a sort of movement or echo in it.
