Marco Martinelli - 6 May 2007

Hi there, here you are my day in photos.

I'm born in 1976, somewhere in Italy, at dinner time (more or less). I'm currently living in Rome. My first camera was a twenty-year old (and more than 1kg-heavy) Miranda and I do still prefer b/w photos printed on high-contrast paper. About a year ago I set up my first photoblog, mainly to share impressions, comments and suggestions about that subtle art to tell stories by freezing time in a moment. I'm still trying not to forget what I've learned by films and chemicals, even if digital cameras seem to make things dramatically easy.

I'm currently working in IT, but phototography is my primary interest and my great passion.

To me, photography is like a slight dance around the moving reality, waiting for the light painting a moment to catch. It's like a thin pain in the stomach, which makes you hold your breathe.

Every time the shutter moves, I feel like I've lost something. Each shot seems charge me with such kind of responsibility.

I hope you'll enjoy my shots, any comment is very welcome.
