GUMMO
"Life is beautiful, really it is, full of beauty and illusions. Life is great, without it you'd be dead."
One of my favourite movies.
A TIME AFTER WHICH WE ARE NEVER THE SAME
"In all our lives there's a fall from innocence, a time after which we are never the same. It happened in the summer of 1959, a long time ago...
For some is the last real taste of innocence and the first real taste of life. But for every one it's the time that memories are made of."

RICHARD BILLINGHAM - RAY'S A LAUGH
Young British photographer Richard Billingham documents his dramatic family life. This video almost made me cry and I think I have a new favorite book out there.
Thanks Flavio Franzoni for telling me about it. It was great talking with you.
STAND BY ME - ROB REINER
One of my greatest inspirations from cinema world while working on my project Head of the Lion. Five years spent documenting the adolescence of a group of eight Sicilian kids.
TRACTOR BOYS - MATT BROGEN
Here's a video by Lens Culture of Matt Brogen talking about his project Tractor Boys. Please take a look. It's something I really liked. Thanks Turi Calafato for introducing me to these great images.
SABINE
Sabine is my favourite project from Magnum photographer Jacob Aue Sobol. "In the autumn of 1999 he went to the remote East Greenland village of Tiniteqilaaq to photograph. The visit was only supposed to last a few weeks but after meeting a local girl, Sabine, he returned the following year and stayed there for the next two years, living the life of a fisherman and hunter."
Take a look at this video about the project where Sobol describes his new life in Greenland and his love for Sabine.
