Excellent work. Artist and poet. What do you shoot with? It often looks medium format.

Hi,

I shoot with a Canon 5dMiii and a Canon A-1. Never shot with a medium format camera, but will one day in the future.

Thank you!

Self portrait (2023 Aosta Valley)

One day you finally knew

what you had to do, and began,

though the voices around you

kept shouting

their bad advice --

though the whole house

began to tremble

and you felt the old tug

at your ankles.

"Mend my life!"

each voice cried.

But you didn't stop.

You knew what you had to do,

though the wind pried

with its stiff fingers

at the very foundations,

though their melancholy

was terrible.

It was already late

enough, and a wild night,

and the road full of fallen

branches and stones.

But little by little,

as you left their voice behind,

the stars began to burn

through the sheets of clouds,

and there was a new voice

which you slowly

recognized as your own,

that kept you company

as you strode deeper and deeper

into the world,

determined to do

the only thing you could do --

determined to save

the only life that you could save.

Summer Morning

by Mary Oliver

Heart, I implore you, it’s time to come back from the dark, it’s morning, the hills are pink and the roses whatever they felt in the valley of night are opening now their soft dresses, their leaves are shining. Why are you laggard? Sure you have seen this a thousand times, which isn’t half enough. Let the world have its way with you, luminous as it is with mystery and pain– graced as it is with the ordinary.
