Lost It has been said that people often struggle to say that this or that person has not yet found them himself. Even in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light, may it be a light to you in the dark places when all other lights go out, but the self is not something one finds, it is something on creates.

Waiting... Anticipating... We often wait and anticipate the next best thing, the end or a fresh beginning. The thing I have waited for the most, entered, stayed, and became an enlightening constant in my life. Then, I found that thing had to exit, but not end, so again, I find myself waiting and anticipating until it is in my reach, in my touch, and next to me. So I ask myself do we ever stop waiting and anticipating. I chose to create a project of self-portraits as a way to “see” and define my own anticipation, to capture what it looks like to wait. I will continue this work very soon when my waiting has ended and test myself to see if there is a new “waiting” that takes its place.

Dark side of... I started out by just taking pictures of all kinds of people on the streets in Florence. After I had done that for a while, I realized that most of the men that I capture had this Mafia look going on. Suit up, sunglasses, hats and mysterious...like they were really aware of the "Mafian" idea So I decided to try to capture the "idea" of that Mafia look around Florence...
