January 13, thePhotoProject

This day of the month, represented over many years, seems to be a conglomeration of visions seen, but opportunities missed. Most of these photographs have a spark of something, but lack a finesse which in many cases I cannot bring back to the more perfect match that’s in my head because the original photograph is lost, and only the processed photo from that year remains. But they still catch my eye as I rummage back through time.

2013 Arcella, Italy. Image taken through the windshield of a motorcycle.

2014 Arcella, Italy. The ‘between’ space along the road between two of my favorite cafes; Cafe Arcella and Tutto Gelato.

2015 Arcella, Italy. An iPhone megazoom photo that barely holds up, but I cannot deny the feeling it invokes in me.

2017 Naples, Italy. For years, I was told to stay away from the dangerous and unruly southern city of Italy. Thankfully, I overcame this trepidation, since the the pleasures of this amazing city far outweigh the perceived risks.

2018 Padua, Italy. I wish I had the original to this photo, but all I have is an over-processed image that now does better as black and white.

2019 Somewhere in England. Can’t get more British than Elton John.

2020 In my artistic dreams. From time to time, I dabble in alternative processing. This is one of my early attempts to combine drawing and photography using the powerful Procreate app on my iPad.

2021 São Paulo, Brazil

2022 CDMX, Mexico

2024 Da Nang, Vietnam
