Newsletter - #29

"Whatever you do, do it well. Do it so well that when people see you doing it, they’ll want to come back to see you do it again."

Walt Disney

Ciao a tutti!

A coffee break. That’s what this newsletter is meant to be: a moment of relaxation, an invitation to calm down, despite the thousands of emails we receive every day.

Perhaps that’s why I’ve dusted off one of my film cameras: manual focus and fully mechanical settings. A return to the basics. I talk about it on the blog, and the image below is the one I liked best out of the 36 I took (yes, there’s a physical limit even on the number of shots you can take): the colour dynamics, the grain, a timeless Paris.

I’m not travelling as much as I used to, so the idea of rediscovering the city I live in is proving to be a wonderful opportunity. Walks in the 14th arrondissement or along the Seine, the first signs of spring. All of this inspires me deeply.

Just two trips recently. A weekend in Pordenone, just after Easter. The original plan was to spend a few hours in Venice before heading back, but then I decided to go to Chioggia instead. It is the Little Venice and if you have the chance, go a visit it! (if you have time, you can even reach the city directly from Venice by Vaporetto.... but it takes some time!)

Then, a second weekend in London with Sylvie and Thibault. It was here that the zine featured in this issue—which you’ll find below—was created, entirely centred around the colour red. London in the sunshine is truly something else: not even the Tube strike bothered us all that much. In fact, it simply forced us to slow down a bit.

Thank you for taking the time to read Flàneries. As promised, here is ‘CRIMSON SIGHTINGS: SEEING RED’, the latest project on London.

I hope you all are doing well!

A presto,

Luca
