Dall'Italia con amore

Here we go again.

Dopo 2 settimane sono di nuovo sola, nella mia casa, sul mio divano, che fisso il nulla.
Stamattina alle 5 ho accompagnato mio fratello all'aeroporto, vederlo tornare a casa, dopo la bellissima vacanza trascorsa assieme è stato davvero difficile, ma almeno sono stata brava nel non scoppiare a piangere davanti a lui, le ho riservate tutte al tassinaro che mi riportava a casa, facendomi mille domande (malefico vizio degli americani).
Cosa volete che vi dica.. stare con Leo è stato favoloso, anzi di più! Tra l'altro è stato qui con noi anche mio cugino e tutti insieme siamo andati a Vegas, paura e delirio! Non mi divertivo così tanto da troppo tempo, quel divertimento sano e genuino con le persone che ami e che davvero ti conoscono. Una cosa che mi mancava troppo.
Nella mia vita ultimamente ci sono state parecchie novità, prima su tutte circa un mese fa è arrivato nella Zombie House Chucky, un piccolo e meraviglioso gattino, preso al gattile di SF, era una vita che aspettavo di avere un micetto fusoso tutto mio e finalmente ho fatto questo grande passo, inutile dire che dopo pochi giorni, tra coccole, fusa, graffietti e morsi, ne ero già totalmente innamorata! (se vi state chiedendo se il nome è riferito a Chucky la bambola, la risposta è ebbene si :) e credo che non avrei potuto trovare nome più azzeccato visto che penso che il mio gattino sia psicopatico!)
L'amore che ti dà un animale è pazzesco, sarà banale da dire, ma loro sono moooolto meglio di noi.

Tornando a mio fratello e mio cugino, appena arrivati a SF mi hanno resa la donna più felice del mondo, non solo per la loro presenza, ma per avermi portato una quantità esagerata di regali: 2 pacchi di Pan di Stelle, una cosa che gli americani non si sognano nemmeno (almeno qui sulla West Coast), 2 pacchi di Pangoccioli (Mulino Bianco ti amo), 2 pezzi giganteschi di Parmigiano Reggiano, Leo personalmente poi mi ha regalato 2 libri, e mio padre mi ha mandato la sua meravigliosa Polaroid, tenuta in perfette condizioni pur avendo circa 30 anni...
Sono queste le piccole cose che mi fanno sentire ancora fiera di essere italiana, quei piccoli piaceri della nostra tradizione che mi tengono così legata e mi faranno sempre pensare di essere fortunata ad essere cresciuta in quella parte del mondo; e solo vivendo all'estero ci si rende conto quanto abbiamo e quanto sprechiamo, maltrattiamo e invece dovremmo esserne fieri e trattare un pò meglio le cose meravigliose che fanno parte della nostra tradizione.

E con questa botta di campanilismo e patriottismo scappo a vedere un nuovo episodio di The Walking Dead, mi godo il mio giorno off, cerco di non pensare che chissà quanti mesi passeranno prima che possa rivedere Leo, faccio la lotta con Chucky (il quale mi morde il braccio proprio mentre scrivo), e più tardi, colore ai capelli.. ho promesso a mio fratello che lo faccio felice :D

Distance is the answer of everything

I was supposed to get up from my bed, take a quick shower and jump on the bus to go at Ile's house, a lasagna was waiting for me... but the whether outside didn't' help at all my laziness. Guess?! yes it's raining again... So I decided to stay home, clean a little bit the mess I have in my house, write a new post after ages on my blog, take a looooong and hot shower and then get ready to work (I fucking hate that restaurant!!!!!)
In these week I've been incredibly busy, I did all my mid terms (and YES I passed them), I'm also spending a lot of time in studio, and this is amazing, you have no idea what means for a photography student to shoot in studio, working with models, and light, creating sets and having fun... I could do it all day, every day. I'm learning a lot and this is the most important thing, I'm very happy of my Quality of Light class, my teacher is a great photographer and even thought we have always so many homework to do I feel I'm learning, which is fantastic!
These are some on my first studio shots, I know I have a lot to learn but you have no idea how they make me happy :)

:)

Distance is the answer of everything

Even if they look very simple photos behind them there are hours of work and setting, studio shooting is a long and hard process, but the satisfaction, even for simple portraits like those two, is unbelievable!!!

But... but .. but... this time I should say that photography and photos now are a huge part of my happiness but not the only one... finally after months and months of pieces of shit I think I found somebody special...
J.
He's pure concentrate of kindness, sweetness and simplicity.
He is that guy I've never thought I could stay with. We basically are the opposite, we like completely different things, we have different taste in almost everything, but his kindness left me speechless; he's a man from another time, he is a gentleman... something I thought it was impossible to find... but after a long and hard research, I made it... and yes he deserves all my honey and rainbow words :)

shit I'm kinda h...y (I won't say that work :P but I feel it!!!)

I'm sorry SoCal.. but I'm in love for the City by the Bay....

Los Angeles Skyline by Chris_Lott


Every time I go visit SoCal I think how am I lucky to live in San Francisco!!!!
I spent my last week end between Los Angeles, Laguna Beach (Orange County) and Indio, I went over there to take some photos for a wedding, and yes it was fun and nice, but after one day I missed my city.
Everything is so different, if you don't have a car in SoCal you are OUT, it's impossible to go anywhere, also I dislike the people, they are all blond, the girls look like many Barbies and the guys are their perfect Ken...
I think i'll be sick of a place like that after 2 days... Thank God I'm here...
Yesterday when i saw the Bay Bridge i felt i was home!!! it's the first time i have this feeling, maybe San Francisco took my heart so deeply, everything make me happy, busy, crazy, sad, fun is here... if i could stay with my family here it will be perfect.. but i cant complain, this city make me feel free and living here is the only think i really want now.
Well... now im in my bed, ready to start this long day... i have to do a lot of homework and tonight im going to the AT&T park to watch a baseball game, San Francisco GIANTS vs Los Angeles DODGERS, it's gonna be so much fun, im never been to the stadium to watch a baseball game, actually i dont know anything about baseball, but im sure it will be great... of course ill be there to take as many pics i can :) im so boring... everything in my life is around photography hahah... but tonight it will be a great night to drink (that's what Americans do when they go to the stadium lol!)
So now it's time to start this day...

good morning San Francisco! i dont remember if I already told you today that I'm in love with you...?!

Bye bye 2010

2010: probably one of the most important year of my life, everything is changed, me for first, my life... it started in one of the worst way ever, but only when you lose everything you can fight to have everything back, and when you do it alone is 1000 times better!
I had a lot of goals and I did them all, and I'm still doing them... I found a new house, a job, I learned (and still learning) another lenguage, I made amazing friends, laughing, incredible experiences, a lot of mistakes that teach me how do better. I learned that not only italian men are assholes but they are all the same everywhere :P, I learned that somethimes being a bitch is better than being too good. Now I know how to love me, I tasted how is amazing being a bit selfish.
I gained weight (shit!) but my family and all of my friends told me that I'm better now. I ate many different foods, I drank a lot, maybe too much :)
I took pictures everywhere, always with my baby, the only thing makes me feel alive, the only thing I'll never stop doing.
I realized a dream, I enrolled at the academy of Art, photography class, it was my dream before moving from Italy, I spent one year but I made it!
I found special friends and some stupid people (but they are everywhere LOL)...
I think I lost her, who I always thought was my best friend, my sister.. this is the only thing makes me feel really disappointed...
I got a new tattoo!!!!! I learned how to fly alone and I'm still learning because even though I feel proud of me somethimes I have to learn more and more...
New goals for this 2011 is coming: STUDY! photography and English better, find a better job, of course I hope to start working as a photographer, I hope in an intership with some good photographer, and some dreams I don't want to tell you, but I promise I'll try to realize :)

So... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! have fun tonight wherever you are, obviously my mind and my heart are with my friends in San Francisco, I miss you!!!!!
See you in 2011!!!!

Love
E.

This is Halloween!!!

...ed eccomi qui.. sono ancora viva.. e questo è importante!
dopo il folle week end di Halloween pensavo di lasciarci le penne e invece ce l'ho fatta!!!!!
Che dire, non ho mai vissuto un'esperienza simile nella mia vita, impossibile da descrivere se non ci si è dentro. La città intera sembrava una grande pista da ballo, tutti in maschera, dai bambini agli adulti, tutti nessuno escluso.. incredibile!
Penso sia stata senza ombra di dubbio una delle serate più divertenti della mia vita anche se il tasso alcolico nel mio sangue ha toccato livelli indecenti e non ricordo nemmeno come sono tornata a casa, ma vabbè questo è un particolare ininfluente... :P
tanto per la cronaca mi sono mascherata da Lady GaGa e si, ero davvero carina :) la cosa che mi ha fatto più effetto è stata la quantità di gente che mi ha fermato e mi ha chiesto di fare foto con loro proprio come se fossi una "diva", mi sono quasi emozionata :P

...here i am...still alive...and this is the most important thing!
after the crazy Halloween week end i thought to die but i made it!!!!
What can i say, i never had an experience like that in my entire life, is impossible to describe it if you dont live it. The city looked like a huge disco, everybody were with their own costume, kids and adults, no exceptions... incredible!
I think it was one of the funniest night of my life even if i was fucked up and i cant remember how i came back home, but this is not so relevant :P
Of course i was Lady GaGa and yeah i was pretty cute :) the funniest thing was how many guys asked me to take pics together, i felt like a "diva", it was so exciting :P

Soo... im trying to translate in english for my american/english readers, sorry if it's not perfect, im still learning and improving my english, if i wrote something wrong please correct me ^^
