These days, I'm having trouble going any place in the city, ...now that I have a camera in my phone. I can't resist trying to capture the city and so the direct path is never taken.

This weekend promises to be full of good people again. A family foto-shoot with friends I adore. And an old friend arriving from Parma too. And finally launching my 2017 photography workshops here in Genova, too.
