_{I write this short journal to inform you about my websites situations.
Of course, I am always active on here, posting only the best shots of mine.

My Facebook Page is still active, and it's the place where I upload more portraits (getting clients there is easier) and more shots in general.
There are my first shots of Florence, I'd be glad if you take a look; anyway, soon I'll post them on here too.
And last, I'm going to post a mini project too.

At the moment I'm less active on Flickr and 500px, but I guess soon I'll upload something; I will let you know!

In the end, I think I'm going to activate an account on MegaShot.net, stay tuned

Have a nice one dear friends!

Some news

Journal Entry: Wed Apr 10, 2013, 11:58 PM

_{Good morning! Or evening, or whatever... well, here is morning!I hope you are all doing well!

Some things happened after I left my old job. First of all, I found another Photographer to help! It is not a "real" job, I help her just when she needs, but at least it's a good beginning, and I have time to keep on with my own projects and with my Photography's promotion... I need a lot of clients if I want to become professional.

And I guess soon I will try something new from me, always regarding photos... I probably will fail, but I think it's a nice idea, at least I'll make a tentative, who knows?

Another thing, it is that I went to Milan's Photoshow a few weeks ago, it was just a great event, I had a lot of fun with my friends; next year it'll be in Rome, if you have the possibility, go there!!
And tomorrow I'm leaving for Florence, it was ages since I wished to visit that city sooo bad! I'm glad to promise my next weekly photo will come from there!

Aaand what about my account? Don't worry, my third "Deviants I like" feature sooner or later will come... hehe! Who'll be the next?
Then,...I'll be able to get DDs again in 5 days! Yay!
Last news is that I have some new stuff, a Wacom Intuos 5 and a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM, and I just love them both! We will make great thongs together...lol.

So, in the end my days got so much better, a few time ago everything seemed so hard, but I just had to get over my old disappointments. It was so bad to work with a man with just one dirty thought in his mind; you know what I mean! He made my life impossible, I had to do what he actually wanted (e.g. abandon my own style for becoming like him, be his close friend, stand all his crappy comments adn wild "likes" on my personal Facebook account...and so on), and I had to deal with his "feelings" for me. Blah, so terrible! I thank the day I left him, I recently knew about some messages he sends to models!

Now I just want to count on myself and try, try, try, until my dream will come true! I want to be a real Photographer, not the crappy helper of a crappy "hog" photographer.
And I really thank your support you gave me when I was down

Well, that's it!
See you soon guys, have a great weekend full of ideas, creativity and fun! I leave yo with some Artwork I love...

Last but not least... a photo to celebrate my weekend...

Watchers feature #8

Journal Entry: Thu Mar 21, 2013, 2:33 PM

_{Hello guys!
I'm so late I know, but I didn't forget this feature at all

Soon I'll be back with my "Deviants I like" and...with some news.
And..
this time I have good news. Yes, things are better now, and this is great!

But it's still not time for this.
Let's go with your Art, my watchers!}

Still working on it

Journal Entry: Wed Mar 6, 2013, 3:35 AM

_{Okay. What's happening to me?
It's a month since I left my job and now I feel so careless about everything.
I don't feel like taking photos, choosing, editing them;
I've got lots of old stuff to delete...I havent't done this yet.
It's like anything is useless and meaningless, so I "don't waste my time".
But guess what I do in my free time? Nothing.
I also graduated in my Art Academy last friday... 109/110, and guess? I'm totally unhappy with this...just one point to the best! Is this a joke?
Oh crap.
But I'm still going on with my projects...Sunrays, 52 Weeks, Watchers feature and Deviants I like.
The quality of my photos also decreased a lot, and I delete almost all of them; maybe spring will help me to imorove again?
Or maybe I just need a new lens to feel artistic again? Hehe.
I'm saving money and have to decide wether buy a 100 macro or a 100-400 zoom.

Okay, stop complaining. I made a new feature, enjoy it and bye for now!}

Stupid me

Journal Entry: Sat Feb 16, 2013, 2:26 PM

_{I've been thinking about myself lately.
I need to say sorry for my unhappy journal entry and poll I uploaded some days ago; I acted so immature and ungrateful.
I've got some wonderful Watchers and their comments make me happy everytime, because they do support me and I realize there are friends of mine around the world. Why should I think about numbers of views and favs? I also want to become a pro and a true Photographer doesn't care about numbers, but quality.
I also have to admit I'm proud of my photos, just fore one reason: they are my life. I can't be unhappy with this. With my supporters, which I hope I did not offend.
And my real life... it doesn't suck after all. I have true amazing friends and family, I can't ruin myself because I left my job. I needed, must leave it; the photographer I was working with kinda fell in love with me and acted like a idiot, as I was his bitch without caring I'm 15 years younger and I've got a boyfriend. After I refused him, he was not really correct to me (he paid me less for example).
This is why I felt like that. But I finally got over thanks to my friends and my photos.
I know I still have to grow up and be mature, I'm almost 23.
I hope you can understand me
I wish you all a wonderful sunday

Deviants I like #2

Journal Entry: Sun Feb 10, 2013, 2:41 AM

_{Good morning everyone!
I'm sorry for a misunderstanding I recently created. I am not leaving DeviantArt, I'm just a bit upset and disappointed. I also have some problems, that's why I'm less active. And for those who follow me on Facebook: I temporarily deactivated my account, but I'll come back soon!
Okay. After this, I just hope to smile again soon!

This time I feature an Italian young girl, ~Tawara753. She's very nice and kind, we talked online a bit and it's always a pleasure.
She's only 16 but very talented (I also consider that I started taking photos at the age of 18/19 and totally sucked at it!) and full of funny ideas.

In her gallery you can find happy, colorful shots...

..and cute animals.

But also a black and white category, which gives more variety in the whole gallery, keeping the same dreamy style.

I hope you can enjoy and support her
Have a good sunday everybody!}

What the heck

Journal Entry: Tue Feb 5, 2013, 3:43 PM

_{Hi guys.
I'm sorry for my lack of activity on here lately. I had no energies to follow all my sites (500px and Flickr must be full of dust and spider webs lol), so I prefered to stay on Facebook, because I've got my "real" friends there and people who ask me for shootings.
Things are turning weird. I don't know how I feel.
I'm going to graduate at my Art Academy this month and it's supposed to make me feel happy.
I'm meeting and chatting to new people (photographers or photo amateurs of course) and they're nice to me.
But...
I had to leave my job because of lots of personal problems with the photographer I was working with.
Goodbye money. Goodbye eventual career.
I'm starting by zero.
I'm a bit sad but I also feel better now that I left him.
Who knows what's going to happen.
Unfortunately I am Italian and you know, young people can't find a job.
What the heck has happened to my life?
A couple of months ago everything looked so damn perfect. But good things can't last.}

Deviants I like #1

Journal Entry: Mon Jan 14, 2013, 4:07 AM

_{New year, new project!
I decided to start something new: a serie of journals showing some Work of Deviants I am following, describing their galleries (:
I think talented people (wether famous or not) deserve support and attention.

The first Artist I want to feature is =Oer-Wout
He's from the Netherlands and his photographs mainly focus on woodlands, with magic and mysterious atmospheres. The most used format is square, which, in my opinion, helps our eye to really get "into" the photo, making it more attractive (of course, it depends by the photo).
Sure the square shape works well with paths.

Not only, he has an eye for sunrays, and for those -like me- who love them, he provides really good examples.

Another chapter of his work is made by the so-called Dreamscapes, an explosion of clouds and water.

But in this gallery you will not only find land-waterscapes, but also colorful details.

This is -of course- a small selection of his work. You will see more in his gallery.
This is all for now. Soon I'll be back with another Deviant!

_{Illusions? Anymore.
Trust? Really, really few.
Projects, discoveries? Always.
Working hard to become better? Indeed.
Creativity, inspiration? Must be my oxygen.
Forgiveness? Yes.
Friends, love, family? At the first place.

And they are not my resolutions for this brand new year, but the lesson I am learning.
Damn, life can hurt. But I know how to be strong now. What doesn't kill you, makes you so stronger.

I wish you all the best for new days my friends, don't be cheaten by life

Watchers Feature #6

So, here is the sixth edition, the sixth feature made by YOU!

Just a few words...

Journal Entry: Tue Nov 20, 2012, 12:10 PM

_{...to say thank you.

Mostly, I want to thank all the friends who commented on my latest poll, you made me feel so much better, I really mean it. And it's important for me to tell you that I din't write that words to make you say "but you're great" or whatever, I just wanted to share my thoughts.

Once I talked to a person who used to (pretend to) hate good or popular Deviants, just not to admit to have a lack of creativity or techinque. It is not fair.
I admire a lot of people in this site, in other sites and in real life; I'm not going to hate or make a competition to anyone, I'll just try to be inspired by great photographers.

Seriously, I want to become a great, I mean really great artsit, and the best way to do this is not to discourage and not to feel angry to people better than me.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to think about it.

I say good evening (or morning, it depends by your country, hehe) with those truly inspiring pieces

_{I told you I was about to write some good news.

... well, I finally have a new camera!!!

Here it is

I've always been in love with 7D, and now you can just imagine how happy I am! It was more than a year since I wished a new camera body so bad, and I think this is just perfect to me.
I'm going to try it today!

But I won't sell my 500D, I still want to use it (well, I kinda love it, after all our adventures together). And two is better than one

Bye for now guys!
I hope you are all doing fine.}
