An encouraging tribute to all of the Italian People, who suffers immense these hours, days, weeks and months, and where the amount of dead people just continue to go up and up, specially in the Northern Regions around Milano and east herefrom.
793 died the last 24 hours, still increasing rapidly, one can't imagine being in the middle in that unstoppable crises.
This is together with Simone and Ermano, our neighbours in San Zeno di Montagna, October 2019, at a restaurant in a castle in Bolzano

There's something about film and portraits... a kind of presence that I don't see with digital. Or maybe it's just my brain.

My theory about that: Film reveals contrast differentially, and I believe it's due to the effect of halation. To me it appears to have relatively higher global and micro-contrast (clarity) than native digital at the in-focus areas of the image, but then much lower global and micro-contrast in the oof areas -- and of course it feathers from one to the other in a way that is very difficult to emulate with digital processing.

This old lens, the very early 85mm AF, works very well up to 3-4 metre distance. Beyond that it's a mess. Still, it's good value for the $200 or so that I paid for it some 15 years ago :)

Getting used to working from home... lots of distractions, GetDPI included :D

Unfortunately, my favorite park closed before I could get there for the cherry blossom season, and the area around Tidal Basin in Washington DC was too crowded for comfort...
(there is still hope for one last location during this weekend, if the weather cooperates)

So I am going through my archives looking for cherry blossom photos from years past... like this one from 2009:
