Diary
I’ve always been quite fascinated with the fact that most people, including myself, feel the need to wait for specific moments in order to initiate certain changes in their lives.
A very good example of what I’m trying to say is how most people make new year resolutions: changes that they probably wanted to implement all along, but needed an “occasion” to be put into place for the first time.

Brunswick is a particularly warehouse-studios-dense area of Melbourne and once a year, said studios open their doors to the public for a day, and trow exhibitions of the residents’ works.

As I usually do, I started jumping around, being stupidly loud for no real reason and, most especially, I completely lost the ability to stand still for the next few hours. Yup, I’m just like a big baby.
For the following weeks I tried AS HARD AS I COULD not to create any expectations but hey, remember? Big baby.

I looked everywhere to find the perfect word to singlehandedly describe this last year.
I found one : intense.
2014 was indeed a very intense year for me.
Very high ups, very low downs. Divided among 3 continents, 5 time zones and way more seasons that one would normally experience. Over 6000 km on a bicycle, an average of 3 hours of walking a day and countless long hours sitting on my bum.

Stand up comedian Eriq Law as I met him at "Spleen"
A the beginning of August I packed my belongings in a backpack and moved to Melbourne.
There’s a million reasons why I did that and this is not the blog post to talk about it, but one of the main reason is te fact that I want to work with comedians a lot and Melbourne is Australia’s Stand Up Comedy Capital.
In these first six months I went to every single stand up comedy night I could afford and studied the scene to understand better how to work with them.
In doing so, I found myself spending a ridiculous amount of time around or with stand up comedians.
I found out that stand up comedians and photographers feel very strongly towards their passion and, surprisingly, in a very similar way!
Read MoreI finally had the chance to lay my hulking hands on the beautiful Fujifilm X100s, the camera over which I have been drooling night and day for the last year or so. The camera that I always wanted but couldn't absolutely afford (25 years old freelance photographer here, remember?). The camera that one of my favorite photographers of all times, Zack Arias, described as the "DSLR killer".

Of course you've heard of unCOMMON:Stories. I'm sure you didn't let slip through your fingers the fact that it was advertised by the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and by Steve Jobs himself as "the biggest thing to happen to books since the invention of the book" (attention: parts of the previous sentence might be made up).
I'm sure you have your copy there, resting gently on your coffee table, ready to be showed with pride to all of your guests. I'm sure you read a couple pages everynight, just to make sure you have the best possible dreams ever.
Read MoreSome people say " New year, new life".
And I totally agree with them, I mean, it's not like you need to change the last two digits of the date to make substantial changes in your life, but it helps for sure.
