He said to me “look carefully into the viewfinder, compose your image as if it were a painting... don’t just quickly shoot but reflect on what you see and what you want to see in your final image as that will be a real photo... YOUR PHOTO”

And that is all I do every time I take a picture.

What's one photography goal that you have for 2015?

One on my main photography goals for 2015 is to go back to Sardinia, where I spent a couple of weeks last October, and take some professional photos of that enchanting island. Unfortunately when I was there last year I had some big problems with my right arm and I limited myself to shoot the usual “holiday photos”. I never used my beloved macro lens for instance, as every time it was a real burden even to lift the camera and shoot a normal picture. This year I would like to go back and, right arm allowing, dedicate myself to shoot so many interesting things I saw in my past trip like flowers, minerals, birds and rather unusual plants.
