Trip down memory lane.

2025. Fifteen years after the portrait of Ryota Niitsuma, photography had become something entirely different for me. Not just a tool for documenting people, but a way of capturing stories as they unfold.

And you can see it.

This image was taken during a campaign event for Partij voor de Dieren. Rather than aiming for a simple portrait, my attention was drawn to the interaction: a campaign leader offering apples, a passerby reaching out to take one. In that small exchange, there was something real—shared warmth, curiosity, and a quiet sincerity.

That is what I wanted to capture.

The journalistic eye had changed. Once, I photographed “who was there.” Now, I was trying to photograph “what happened.” The story between people. The gesture. The emotion that only exists for a second before it disappears.

Taken with my Canon 5D Mark III and Sigma 100–400mm, the longer focal length helped isolate the moment, compressing the scene and letting the expressions speak for themselves. Light, composition, and timing aligned in a way that gave the frame its own voice.

My former company, Nisute Europe, was gone by then. That chapter had closed.

And quietly, another was beginning.

The Wondering Lens was taking shape—not as a business plan, but as a way of seeing the world. One moment at a time.

During the last days I removed a lot of slugs (Arion spec.) from the vegetable garden. They come in a variety of colours: redish, brownish, yellowish, greyish, beigeish, verydarkish, …

After some days of observation I could swear there is a correlation between the colour of the background they are sticking to and the colour of the specimen. But if so, how?

Giornata Internazionale dei Planetari

La Giornata Internazionale dei Planetari torna oggi, il 7 maggio 2026 e, come ogni anno, ci invita a riscoprire il cielo con occhi nuovi. Per chi vuole rileggere il percorso iniziato lo scorso anno, ecco l’articolo precedente:

https://perfettamentechic.com/2025/05/07/giornata-internazionale-dei-planetari/

✨ Cosa cambia nel 2026

Il 2026 porta con sé un’energia diversa: più tecnologia, più inclusione, più “meraviglia accessibile”. Ecco le novità più interessanti.

  • Planetari immersivi di nuova generazione ⇔ Diversi centri europei inaugurano cupole a risoluzione 12K, con sistemi audio spaziali che ricreano il silenzio cosmico e le vibrazioni stellari. L’esperienza non è più solo visiva: è multisensoriale.
  • Accessibilità ampliata ⇔ Arrivano percorsi tattili per persone ipovedenti, mappe stellari in rilievo e narrazioni audio pensate per chi ha difficoltà uditive o cognitive. Il cielo diventa davvero per tutti.
  • Notte dei Planetari ⇔ Novità assoluta: una rete di strutture europee organizza una “notte condivisa” con proiezioni sincronizzate, talk con astrofisici e collegamenti live tra città diverse. Un’unica grande cupola virtuale che abbraccia il continente.
  • Focus 2026: la vita oltre la Terra ⇔ Molti programmi tematici di quest’anno ruotano attorno alle nuove scoperte sugli esopianeti abitabili e sulle missioni verso Europa ed Encelado. La domanda “siamo soli?” torna protagonista, ma con dati più freschi e suggestioni più audaci.

🌌 Perché celebrarla

Perché i planetari sono ponti: tra scienza e immaginazione, tra passato e futuro, tra ciò che sappiamo e ciò che ancora non riusciamo a spiegare. Nel 2026, più che mai, diventano luoghi dove rallentare, alzare lo sguardo e ricordare che siamo parte di qualcosa di immensamente più grande.
