The main thing is knowing how to see,
To know how to see without thinking,
To know how to see when you see,
And not think when you see
Or see when you think.

Fernando Pessoa's heteronym Alberto Caeiro


Pessoa forever ...





Italian, born in Africa, citizen of the world.. I am not a pro, just started taking photos since childhood ...I enjoy taking photos of all things I like.

Love travels (have done it since a baby), sea, dogs,horses and nature, history, fashion, good books, friends ... life!! .. and slow food. Good music, from Classic, Jazz to Rap. I was lucky to travel and live in many wonderfull places in the world, it was part of my life and of "me" ... to learn from others is ever so nice and exciting I am now living in sunny Lisboa, Portugal, after my beloved Firenze.

Hope to learn from all the great talents in Flickr.

"I am a citizen of the world, known to all and to all a stranger." Eramus da Rotterdam

    Her photographic interests are varied (from florals to Godiva chocolates) and her abilities are excellent. Each shot is a feast for the eyes. I look forward to each new posting!!!!

    "Bb as I call her explores the world with genuine passion. You will find her photostream a mix of the beautiful things and places that surrounds her, bringing every piece for us to view as she sees them. Her photographs -- pure, untouched and all inspiring. Her pages will overwhelm you with colors and light beautifully presented.

    Each work is a representation of how she is, what she feels and how she sees the world.

    As a friend she will shower you with virtual affection, inspire you with her comments and encourages you with her words.
    Having to discover Bb is like finding a treasure, her work is so valuable and her friendship is priceless!!

    Thank you Bb for your friendship, I am very fortunate to have met you!!"

    "I love Barbara's photographs, and I believe Barbara loves to make them and puts a lot of her heart and soul into them. Not only do I see Barbara's style in the light she employs but also in her artistic composition. She shines on both accounts. I love every photo you take and am honoured to call you my friend. She is also a true "Child of Africa" :-)"

    *Saariy* says:

    "Barbara is a hidden talent in photography in flickr community according to me. Her pictures are the mirror of her warm and candid heart.
    If you discover once her,you can never give up any more.
    She is very sincere,warm,pleasant and likable. Her these specialities connect you tightly.
    To visit her photostream is very pleasure for me. You can meet suddenly at the moment to a beautiful picture over there and say to yourself ''Wow !! such a extraordinary work.'' But she is so humility and maybe is not aware of this.
    Dear Barbara, keep up your beautiful work. I'II be your supporter always."
