b&w

Round Mountain, Powderhorn, Colorado in early spring 2018.

Was an extremely foggy morning, this was captured just as the fog was lifting.

Here ia a B&W shot of my crossfit coach. CC welcome!

No doubt that Arches NP is beautiful in color, but when converted to B&W I find it magnificent. The B&W brings forth even the smallest of details, and gives it a much more ominous look.

Sometimes words just can't convey the feelings...

I will be off to teach my spring Workshops tomorrow, got 5 of them lined up and probably be off forum for one and a half month or so. Before going away, enjoy Playa de Portizuelo in black & white, a long exposure taken during the Workshop I led in Asturias last fall. Leica SL, Leica...

And this is Vittorio, he's a character here on the island, he has a very tough familiar history and a long list of diseases but he's tough to knock down, as usual he's kind of a phenomenon for the local community and as such he thinks we all want to make fun of him, in this attempt to take a pic...

When I photograph people I try to catch their soul not their smile or attractive features, when I showed this shot to the subject's brothers they thought it was to make fun of him because he, Fulvio, has gone through a lot in life and fights depression since years, when I showed it to Fulvio, on...

While I love the big vistas, I also like to go looking into smaller detail. There is beauty and landscapes to be found there too. The Footprint, taken at Mesquite Dunes during one of my Workshops in Death Valley last January. Leica S (Typ 007), Leica Vario-Elmar-S 30-90mm and Formatt-Hitech...

Scenes from The Racetrack, a 12 minutes exposure taken in Death Valley during one of the Workshops I led there last January. Leica SL, Voigtlander 15mm v. III and Formatt-Hitech Firecrest filters. Thanks for viewing, best regards Vieri

This is one of the rare occasions where I intended this as a black and white photo at the time when I took it. I just liked the tones and textures. This was an OP photo of the day a few years ago. Any thoughts are welcome.

I love fresh snow on trees. Also one of may favorites is a snowy day. Love winter in B&W.

Autumn on a cloudy morning at Convict Lake. Any thoughts are welcome.

Misty, drizzly day in Nov '08. Visiting the city with Martin McLeish and Carlo Didier, we walked a fair amount of the wall. Fascinating historical town, dominated by York Minster in the bg.

Literally. On this day in Feb '08, a control burn by the forest service a few miles inland, mixed smoke into the thin morning fog and almost did away with the horizon. Only the low islands across the bay gave it any definition. Old, rickety pier near Apalachicola, FL.

The long off-road drive to The Racetrack, in Death Valley, where the stones travel by themselves is definitely worth it: seeing and photographing these stones with their trails is magic, every time. Leica SL (Typ 601), Voigtlander 15mm and Formatt-Hitech Firecrest filters.
