Contribution to Dante’s Comedy on Mobile Art

A fellow iPhoneographer, Giancarlo Beltrame, has collected themed photos from more than 100 iPhoneographers from all over the world to project them during poetry readings of Dante’s Comedy held in Verona, Italy during last weekend.

I am proud to say some of my photos have been selected to be part of this show, you can see them as part of the You Tube videos compiled by Giancarlo:

Paradise

Salvation by colors

Purgatory

Unconsolable

Gateway to Heaven

Hell

Bioarchitecture

Sit down and talk

Wrong way

Goddess from the past

Finally, this is the news coverage of the event on a local TV (in Italian language):

2nd Italian Instameet in Torino

Last weekend has been a busy and fun one, with the second Italian meeting of Instagramers held in my city Torino.

During the event a number of Instawalks (photoshooting walks)  toured the most beautiful parts of the city, and as a local Instagramer, I was asked to lead one of the groups of mobile photographers to hunt for the best images to shoot and post online.

During the afternoon I captured some nice shots, such as this one of the mole antonelliana the main landmark of Torino:

I will post more shots from the Instawalk during the next days, so stay tuned, but in the meanwhile I’d like to share with you that two of my photos have been published on La Stampa, Torino’s daily newspaper (you should know my style by now, so I’llet you guess which they are 😉 )

For a while the photos will be available also on the online version of La Stampa and on another national daily newspaper: La Repubblica 1 and La Repubblica 2 .

Top nine poll!

It’s been some time since I started this blog at the end of December 2011 and I found myself looking at the stats:

  • 8 months
  • 400 posts
  • 42000 views
  • 12000 visits
  • 3400 comments
  • 1200 followers

I did not know when I started that I would go this far, and I would like to thank all of you that spent some of your time and attention to look at my works.

I also compiled a top nine compilation of my works by number of views and here is the list (linking to the posts):

  1. Caval’d’brons
  2. Lady of the grey world
  3. Collapsed spiral staircase
  4. House in via Viotti, Torino
  5. Unconsolable
  6. Gate entrance
  7. Reflections of life
  8. Naviglio crossing
  9. Autumn on the river

Since these were posted in different times and conditions (the number #1 Caval’d’brons received a huge number of views for being Freshly pressed), as a little game I set up a poll where you can choose your favourite image:

Thanks for voting!
