1. Coffee Break Snaps: my new photography blog!
CIAO A TUTTI !!! WELCOME TO MY NEW PHOTOGRAPHY BLOG!!! Wohooooo!
WTB !?!? (= What’s This Blog!?!?)
Now I tell you what I thought to do.
The weekend has arrived (FINALLY), and one of my favorite things to do when I am free is starting my day at a café’ with my camera, a book, and my journal. Me time: it is so calming, so relaxing!
Yes, ok, you can see also a computer in the picture, that’s right.
Well, since I love photography in all its forms (doing photography, watching photography, reading photography, talking photography, writing photography…etc), I decided to START A BLOG!!!
Before clicking on “Add page : Blog” on my Squarespace dashboard, I looked at what other photography blogs look like, and to be honest, I felt a tiny bit intimidated: “top 10 places to snap this or that”, “how to become a better photographer” , “top 5 camera brands”, “Become the best photographer doing this….” etc…etc. Will I be able to dispense such useful tips in my photography blog?
Well, I probably do not know EVERYTHING (who does, in the end?) but I have looked a lot into my Fujifilm cameras, they are with me every single day and I discovered a lot interesting things that we can talk about… It will be fun, I promise :)
This could be exactly like a photography chat during the coffee break of two photo-friends (…or photo-nerds ;) ): not much preparation needed, no heavy, long paragraphs to read (and to write!), just a light and spontaneous conversation about “everything photography”. I hope this sounds like a good idea… and that some of you will read me during the coffee break!
To be completely honest, I had this idea of the “Coffee Break Snaps” blog because sometimes Instagram and other social media make me feel a bit isolated, although surrounded by thousands, millions of people. Do you feel the same?
I think everyone has their little Instagram community of people that show support with a like or a comment under a photo… and I have this little community too! “Thanks, Very!” “Cool photo, Ale!” “Well done, Tom!” …but in the end, what do we know about each other? Nothing more than our nickname.
In the real life, I would probably say to some: “Wanna grab a coffee and talk photography?”, but online this is not possible…unless we have a blog where we “meet” for coffee break snaps! Yes, now I can try to leave here in this blog a little footprint of my personality.
Wait a second: you will know a bit of my personality, but how can we exchange photography ideas, questions and nerd out about photography TOGETHER?
This is how we can do: if you have any question/topic you would like me to talk about in the blog, you can leave me a comment below or drop me a DM on instagram (you will find my contact infos in the navigation panel above)… and of course if you live in Switzerland (Basel area) and want a coffee break snap with me, it would be AWESOME to meet!!!
Ah, I was about to forget one thing!
WARNING: an Italian writing in English is not a guarantee of perfection… but for sure of fun company for a coffee break !
Chat soon again!
Very
