Il Cappello del Fotografo / The Photographer’s Hat

Ultimamente non ho molto tempo per fotografare… Perdonatemi questa foto di repertorio, che mi è saltata agli occhi recentemente :)

I don’t have much time to take new shots these days. So I hope you’ll forgive me for this “oldie” I found ;)

Ragù di carne toscano

Ragù toscano su fetta di pane

Il mio primo ragù, preparato alla toscana seguendo le disposizioni della mia mamma, e il mio primo esperimento di fotografia di “food”. Il ragù è venuto eccezionale, certamente più grazie a mammà che a me. La foto mi soddisfa abbastanza, per essere un primo tentativo. Che ne pensate?

My first experiment in food photography. And my first “ragù di carne”, prepared following my mom’s traditional recipe. The ragù is awesome, thanks to my mom experience and precise directions. The photo, well, it’s OK for a first. What do you think?

An Apple A Day / Una Mela Al Giorno

An apple a day...

Pensate, ci sono pazzi che si portano la macchina fotografica anche quando vanno a fare la spesa al supermercato.

You see, there are nuts who even bring their DSLR to the mall.

18th Tir, 1378 (July 9, 1999)

18th Tir 1378 (9th July 1999)

Paris, Palais de Chaillot, 9th of July 2009.

Iranian Student Protests of July, 1999 (Also known as 18th of Tir and Kuye Daneshgah Disaster (Persian: فاجعه کوی دانشگاه) in Iran) (7–13 July) were, at that time, the most widespread and violent public protests to occur in Iran since the early years of the Iranian Revolution.

The protests began on July 8 with peaceful demonstrations in Tehran against the closure of the reformist newspaper, Salam. Following the demonstrations, a student dormitory was raided by riot police that night during which a student was killed. The raid sparked six days of demonstrations and rioting throughout the country, during which at least three other people were killed and more than 200 injured.

In the aftermath of these incidents, more than seventy students disappeared. In addition to an estimated 1,200–1,400 detainees, the “whereabouts and condition” of five students named by Human Rights Watch whom are believed to be detained by Islamic authorities remain unknown.
