U Ba Gyan Once upon a time there was a people called Burma, who lived in a bright and colorful world. Continue Reading

Lello Fargione – Polaroid Instant world

Who knows what our cities would be like if they were empty. Sometimes we asked ourselves, sometimes with difficulty we tried to imagine it, other times we saw it on TV. Cities are not empty, as we have often heard repeated in these weeks of pandemic. We see them empty if we make them coincide Continue Reading

Chiara Felmini – China

There are people who make trips and trips that people make: in China this can happen. Trips are made for many reasons and curiosity is always a good reason; We start with the desire to know and discover, but in the luggage sometimes slip from the drafts all those prejudices resulting from readings, stories and Continue Reading

Roberta Vagliani – Zanzibar school

Nelson Mandela said, “Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world.” These images tell the story of the journey before and after school. In this school in Zanzibar there are no desks, chairs or school supplies. All these guys have is a notebook and their memory. Knowledge is transmitted to Continue Reading

Every year, after the first month of summer, countless Armenians from all over the world are eager to travel to the first cathedral of the Christian world to participate in the religious ceremony that coincides with the murder of Saint Thaddeus and martyrdom of his Christian followers. This church is located 20 kilometers northeast of Continue Reading

Marco Parenti – Indian Station

When I travel I never fail to set foot in some train station. I usually take advantage of the time that other travel companions dedicate to shopping, a “pleasure” from which I gladly escape. Who knows why this passion for trains and stations, but I have it since I was a child, when taking the Continue Reading

Roberta Vitali – desert is magic

On the fly to Tunisia I had only one desire: to go beyond what I had already seen and stop taking normal photos of beautiful places, to start taking beautiful photos of normal places. But immediately I ran into a difficulty. What was really normal in a world so far away and so different from Continue Reading

Maurizio Gjivovich – Srilanka

The indelible marks of the Tzunami of 2004 and the bloody civil war in Srilaka that ended on May 18, 2008, destroyed this land and its new future has since begun. I decided to travel a few years from the northwest coast of Jaffna to the south coast in wiligama passing through the great hills Continue Reading

Maurizio Trifilidis – Konyak the last headhunter

In Nagaland, on the border between India and Myanmar, some headhunters from the Konyak tribe are still alive. Their villages are located  in remote areas, difficult to reach and where time seems to have stopped. In the past, their life was to defend their own village and plunder the nearby ones, cutting off and keeping Continue Reading

Andrea Peruzzi – Waiting for Dalai Lama

This story is not a photographic project designed at the table, but it represents what I like most.. that is traveling and documenting real situations and the people I meet, in a spontaneous way. Last summer I rented a motorbike and traveled through the valleys and villages of the Indian Himalayan region of Ladakh. By Continue Reading
