It's always a bit awkward to carry around a big camera like the Mamiya RZ67, but I love doing it.  But taking this picture was even more awkward since I almost laid down on the ground just to point the camera up and find a way to focus. At least, it worked out.  📷 Mamiya RZ67 🎞️ Orwopan 100 Expired #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead #filmphotography #analogphotography

This trailblazing office building by Arup Architects has been treated to a subtle £32m renovation that still has wellness at its heart

Il mio ultimo #racconto, uscito su Nazione Indiana, è più una critica alla gamification della realtà che una presa di posizione sulla questione palestinese.
Mi sono ampiamente ispirato a Ballard e alla sua Mostra delle Atrocità... Un tributo al maestro, diciamo.

Novelist J.G. Ballard was experimenting with computer-generated poetry 50 years before ChatGPT was invented

Looking through the archive of an arts magazine I discovered how Ballard was trying out an early form of computer-generated poetry.
