Lisbona, 16 Dicembre 2014, ore 17
Mi ritrovo, passeggiando per le vie dell'antico quartiere Alfama, in uno dei bei punti panoramici che si affacciano sulla città: il Miradouro Sofia de Mello Breyner Andresen. Luogo dedicato alla famosa poetessa portoghese che trascorreva molte delle sue giornate ammirando Lisbona da questo incantevole luogo. All’ombra dei pini, seduta su una panchina, vedo una ragazza che suona la chitarra mentre guarda la città che si offre al suo sguardo. Una vista incantevole che lei riempie con la sua grazia luminosa e i suoi colori. Mi colpisce il fatto che non si esibisce per un pubblico di passanti. Suona e canta per il piacere di fare musica, per il puro piacere di sentire le note svolazzare leggere e perdersi nel vento forte, mescolarsi ai rumori della città e al suono delle campane. Lei con la sua chitarra e la sua voce e io con la mia macchina fotografica. Le ho chiesto con lo sguardo se potevo essere inclusa in quello spazio che immaginavo per lei essere esclusivo. La risposta è arrivata col suo sorriso e un piccolo cenno di assenso. Ho condiviso con lei quello spazio nuovo, vuoto di persone ma pieno di aria e di note. Un momento breve e sfuggente come il passaggio di una rondine nel cielo azzurro. Un bel ricordo. Lisbon, 16th December 2014, 5pm I find myself, strolling through the streets of the ancient Alfama district, at one of the beautiful panoramic points overlooking the city: Miradouro Sofia de Mello Breyner Andresen. A place dedicated to the famous Portuguese poet who used to spend many of her days admiring Lisbon from this enchanting spot. In the shade of the pine trees, sitting on a bench, I see a girl playing the guitar as she gazes at the city spread out before her. A charming view that she fills with her radiant grace and colors. What strikes me is that she's not performing for a passing audience. She plays and sings for the pleasure of making music, for the pure joy of hearing the notes flutter lightly and get lost in the strong wind, blending with the city's noises and the sound of bells. She with her guitar and voice, and I with my camera. I asked her with my eyes if I could be included in that space I imagined to be exclusive for her. The answer came with her smile and a slight nod of agreement. I shared that new space with her, devoid of people but filled with air and music. A brief and fleeting moment like the flight of a swallow in the blue sky. A nice memory.

The Cancer Research UK London Winter Run is a unique and exciting event that combines running with charity work. The event takes place every year in London and is a 10k race through the streets of the city. The event is open to people of all ages and abilities and is not just about raising awareness for cancer research, but it's also about bringing people together to support a great cause. It was great to witness the passion and determination of the runners, captured through my lens as part of the audience. London, 5th February 2023 www.londonwinterrun.co.uk
"TV is an intimate, powerful, and universal source of connection to others. Talking about our favorite shows and movies brings us closer to people near and far. So, what would happen if we couldn’t talk about it?"
