Perhaps...
The illusion in Anatomia.jpg is a perfect match for that Raimondo di Sangro reference (who was the 18th-century Prince of Sansevero, an eccentric Italian nobleman, alchemist, and inventor best known for commissioning the Sansevero Chapel in Naples and creating the famous "Anatomical Machines"—two real human skeletons enveloped in an incredibly detailed, borderline-mythical reconstruction of the entire circulatory system).
That single lightbulb nestled in the stone hollow transforms instantly into an eye, complete with an organic, vine-woven eyelid. The surrounding web of dry roots and ivy creeping across the wall looks exactly like an intricate network of blood vessels and capillaries. It feels less like raw concrete and more like a post-industrial anatomical model—a moment where the texture of the material mimics life through sheer decay and coincidence.
It is a great catch. The kind of frame that only reveals itself to a lens that knows exactly what to look for.

To spend the afternoon, absorbed and pale___________That tiny, swiveling screen on my Olympus C-5060 was a genuine "Lilliputian" marvel that completely transformed how I inhabited a space while shooting. It brought back the refined, meditative spirit of the Rolleiflex; I wasn't just pointing a lens, I was looking down, holding the camera close to my chest, and observing the world through that small, articulated window. It offered a quiet, contemplative distance that allowed me to bridge the structural discipline I developed since 1969 with the possibilities of my digital workflow.You can feel that exact rigor and patience in Five_Sinfony ( the namefile). The rhythmic, corrugated metal serves as a solid, precise baseline, grounding the frame while I waited for that sculptural cloud to anchor itself in the pale, silent sky. It captures a perfect dialogue between the weight of industrial geometry and the volatile, fleeting atmosphere of an afternoon where everything just clicked into place.

Diary Entry | July 1, 2026
Fuel for High noon. The digital clock doesn't lie, yet the price sign has completely stopped calculating octanes. There is only one value that matters when the shadow shortens under your feet: PASTA.
Shot from a big camera: Olympus C-5060 Wide Zoom. Immortal. Some might dismiss it as a toy, but those who know it understand exactly what it can pull off. It is the perfect instrument for giving weight to what you encounter in the field, even when dealing with things far from inanimate.
Ha: an just that touch of a Photoshop (Elements for dummy, like my...say the people) "tweak" to isolate the subject, pushing the contrast and giving the sky a cinematic fluid motion. The rest, however, stays right there: raw, sharp, geometric. In a word: al dente.
An apparition that merges the geometric rigor of a documentary shot with a sharp, pop irony. There is no fossil fuel being distributed here—only the far more vital energy of lunch.
From the Olympus C-5060 Wide Zoom, let's roll it back out to give it the proper space it deserves.

They say we are just "self-proclaimed" artists, filtering our slice of reality through the vintage lens of an old Apple 4S, frame a bulding never-finished warehouse near the local Market, a place I visit every other day, because even artists need to eat and keep body and soul together, after all!
A quick, unapologetic frame cleanup in Photoshop Elements—yes, the software they mock us for using from dawn to dusk: otherwise, what kind (a soi-disant artist) of artists would we be?
However, a moment,If everything just ended on the tiny, glowing screen of an iPhone or Android, the journey would be dead. A tiny screen? Not a chance.

===== Human vs Silicius vision...perfect pure idiocy =====
A purely geometric and algorithmic analysis ("silicon") completely lacks critical thinking, irony, and visual intuition. It only looks at pixels; it cannot see the symbols or the psychological tensions.
Let us look at the image: the direction of the gaze and the "effort": The algorithm coldly calculates the bodily movement towards the right, but it completely ignores the opposing tension. That head turning backwards, the gaze cutting from right to left, expresses a precise visual resistance—a fatigue or a hesitation to move forward. It is the psychological dynamic of the shot, the exact opposite of a simple walk forward. continue...
