S3 – S35; Basilica Santa Croce in fabulous Lecce, Puglia, Italy.

Puglia is fantastic. It is the achilles heel of Italy and the most beatiful escape.
There is a pizzeria just outside of Basel on the french side named after this city, amazing pizzas you can get there. I go there from time to time after work to enjoy those authentic italian pizzas, the staff is also italian, but only speak italian and french, so i tought my self a few words italian to tell them what i want.

Your image of puglia makes appetite to go there for sure.

Glad you started showing your work!

Sorry, that's my trade secret. I've been for many years investing a lot of resources in my process and have shot film extensively. Each picture is manually retouched in Photoshop, ie it is scene dependent and takes time, and I have a lot of experience by now. I am just showing holiday snaps here – but believe me, there's a ton of time, financial resources, and focus that goes into my photographic projects and workflow research and I can only say that everyone needs to figure out their look individually. I am a perfectionist.

I am working on a larger, more professional and ambitious set of work, so the context of my efforts is a bigger one. But as said, the artistic workflow is the artist's secret. I hope that I can launch the bigger project more publicly in the next two years, but I am atm setting up a new business venture, so time is scarce resource.

I would recommend that you shoot a lot of film. I've been shooting film for 15 years.

When my nephew and his family moved into their new home, I offered them a print as a house warming present to adorn their then bare walls. As my nephew spent his formative years in New York City and later worked in San Francisco for a number of years before settling in the Washington, DC area, he asked me for a triptych of these cities, which all hold special meaning to him. At the time I had nothing of New York or DC in my collection and told him he may have to wait before I could follow through on this. To be honest I never thought I'd ever get around to it and had forgotten about the request altogether. But for whatever reason, in my post-Thanksgiving food coma it suddenly came to me that I could in fact cobble together the requested triptych with some recent images that were made without any intention of putting these together - a happy accident, I suppose. I think I've posted each of these here individually so apologies for the duplication, but I think they go quite nicely together as a triptych.

The left-hand image was shot on the IQ3 100 w/SK120 ASPH, the middle image on the X2D w/Zeiss Sonnar C 4/150, and the right-hand image on the X2D w/XCD 55V.
