“As Harold took a bite of Bavarian sugar cookie, he finally felt as if everything was going to be ok. Sometimes, when we lose ourselves in fear and despair, in routine and constancy, in hopelessness and tragedy, we can thank God for Bavarian sugar cookies. And, fortunately, when there aren’t any cookies, we can still find reassurance in a familiar hand on our skin, or a kind and loving gesture, or subtle encouragement, or a loving embrace, or an offer of comfort, not to mention hospital gurneys and nose plugs, an uneaten Danish, soft-spoken secrets, and Fender Stratocasters, and maybe the occasional piece of fiction. And we must remember that all these things, the nuances, the anomalies, the subtleties, which we assume only accessorize our days, are effective for a much larger and nobler cause. They are here to save our lives. I know the idea seems strange, but I also know that it just so happens to be true. And, so it was, a wristwatch saved Harold Crick.”

From “Stranger than Fiction”

USA 2011 – Utah

Hi everyone!
I’ve just realized this video of our journey through Utah. It’s a bit short but I hope you’ll enjoy.
One of the first scene is the cemetery of Grafton, a ghost town south of Zion Park. After that Bryce Canyon and a rodeo nearby.
Last but not least the Great Salt Lake! ;)

San Francisco – 360°

Hi everebody! First of all I am very sorry for my orrible english, but unfortunately english is not my mother tongue.. But I promise I will improve my english!
So here we are with some new panoramas, all of them have been shooted in San Francisco and the places nearby.
Here they are:

 

This panorama is from the Highway 101, near Big Sur.
That was the highway which took us to San Francisco from L.A.!

We arrived in San Francisco, the first panorma in the city is Alcatraz Island.
I was walking down Fisherman’s Wharf when I’ve saw that shoot of Alcatraz, form a bench nearby Pier 39.

Here’s a panorama form Pier 39.
In the foreground you can see the bargers the seals love to lay on, and in the background you can see Telegraph Hill and North Beach.

Shall I explain it? :)

This is a 360° panorama shot from Battery Spencer, a hill near Sausalito.

This is a panorama of Ocean Beach, near Judah Street.
On this beach a found a giant squid tentacle! No ok, I’m joking, Marco found that, not me.

Last but not least this is a mesmerizing skyline of San Francisco, shot from Alcatraz Island!

 

Canyonlands – 360°

Here’s a little experiment! I hope I will be able to improve the 360° reality, but while I’m working on this stuff.. ENJOY ;)

PS: the 360° is taken in Canyonlands, a National Park near Moab, probabily the Park i enjoyed most!
PPS: Have you seen “127 hours”? The movie was shooted in Canyonalnds, where the real story took place!

Dopo un po’ di problemi, ritardi, prove e controprove finalmente ce l’abbiamo fatta, il sito è operativo!
Non so ancora bene cosa salterà fuori dal sito ( o blog, o chiamatelo come preferite).. Le idee ci sono, riusciremo a cavarci fuori qualcosa? Come cantava il buon Lucio “lo scompriremo solo vivendo”! :)

Per il resto… Stay tuned! Hope you enjoy!
