Family snapshots for granny’s 80th birthday [Parma, 2011]

It feels strange to look back at these photos and realise that they were taken 12 years ago! It was the 30th May 2011 and my grandmother passed away a year and a half ago and in these snapshots she was celebrating her 80th birthday (well, as you see, chocolate cake has always been a big family hit!). Still, it’s reassuring to see that Grandma had fun (yes, she always loved dressing up and taking the role of an actress!).

I am very happy to have kept these visual memories and I know that she would be glad to see them posted on my blog!

My return to blogging! [Edinburgh, 2023]

The past few years I have been through a rather trying phase of my life. I have been questioning myself, my choices, my future and my photographical activities. I haven’t really been active with the camera but I never gave up. Recently I sold most of my Nikon equipment with the refreshing intention of transferring to a mirrorless Canon (R6 Mark II you are on my bucket list!!).

A friend (Antonia!) told me once that I should combine my photography with my blogging so here I am back. And, hey, I am happy to receive any comments about this old photo (taken at the end of Uni) even though it looks like it was stolen from my high school photo album 🙂
