We read a lot about what is street photography and what is not. It is a boring theme.
With that said, I say that a street photographer knows when he is in front of a street photograph. Which is not a simple photograph taken on the street as many think.

Momentaufnahmen einer Regennacht im Oktober 2018
I found myself in Acaxochitlán.
It is one of the 84 municipalities of the state of Hidalgo, in central-eastern Mexico.
There was fog there and there was this stray dog.
Acaxochitlan has three languages; Nahuatl, Spanish, and Otomi. The atmosphere, maybe because of the fog, was like magical. And that dog was like to meet a spirit.
That look that reaches you and me, a photograph that I carry inside of that place where I will return.

Anytime is happening i feel myself excited.
I evolve and my photography with me. Maybe can be just small changes but I can feel how my photography is going towards new steps. And this is great.
With Mexico City kissed by such a light it would just be a crime to ignore it.
With my camera I follow the light and I am reached by the strong and contrasting shadows that create surreal scenes.
I photographed this kiss in the market in Mexico City’s Chinatown.
The gesture of passion between the two lovers struck me, I raised the camera and immediately took the shot.
In this day, i think is good to share it on strkng.
I dedicate this to all lovers.

Days of winter.
The weather in Rome is often good in January. Limpid azure skies, a low sun and long shadows make for a light that is unique to this time of year. The start of 2022 didn’t disappoint in this respect.
Right at the start of the new year I made a kind of resolution that in 2022 I would post fewer images on social media, step off the treadmill of feeding the beast, and instead focus on choosing a handful of my best shots at the end of each month. This does rather fly in the opposite direction of the trending 365 project, and the pressure to post something every day, but that’s fine by me.
For this blog in particular I set myself the task of choosing just two favourite shots this month that evoke January in Rome for me. Happy New Year!
In the last 2 months I photographed on the street using an old DSLR, released in 2011, the Canon RebelT3/1100D.
Someone thought and even said that my choice was crazy and that good cameras are at least from 2017 onwards. I believe that the work I am proposing and which is also appreciated here on stkrng is the best answer. I am also convinced that the message conveyed by this choice of mine can be an example for many photographers who are starting out. There is really no need to have a recently released camera.
If a professional can work well with a 10-year-old camera then the whole marketing structure that revolves around cameras falls apart.
Those who know me know that I have been an ambassador for a camera brand in the past. Today I am an ambassador of photography, of what is important, much more than relying on the latest generation cameras, on vision, ideas and skills.
