{ firenze & cinque terre, italia }

last year it was our turn to get married.
we were wed in florence and honeymooned in cinque terre.
these are the snapshots i managed to capture along the way.
they are not wedding photos.
these images start in florence and are mostly black and whites.
once we hit cinque terre the colors start to come in.
there’s nothing here i can tell you that you can’t read in some travel book
perhaps the images help but they only tell a part of the story.
memory isn’t some mechanical projection of images onto paper.
memories are like dreams. but real.
they’re not merely recalled by the mind
they’re felt by the body. by one’s entire being.
images are just a catalyst that help trigger these realdreams.
here are some of ours.

i’m trying out this new slideshow layout.
you can click the ‘play’ button (arrow, bottom right) for it to run automatically.
let me know what you guys think
is it better/worse than what we’ve done in the past with image after image?
feedback would be appreciated, thanks!

ciao lovers.

a redefinition

when 2nd is first
and 1st is second
tear down wall of hierarchy
first shall last
last shall first
walk the same ground
numbers redeemed
order restored twixt i and self
not vertical
horizontal
