I live in the vicinity of Los Angeles, CA USA. I love to travel, meet new people and like new experiences (places, food, drinks, etc.,). The unknown is exciting!
Seeing your beautiful photos in Flickr and taking photos of my own while I work and travel makes me happy! Scientist tell us that happiness is contagious so let's all be happy!
No Sprechen Englisch!?. I am sorry if my comment offended you or made you feel uncomfortable. Please don't take it too personal. Let me know if it does so I make the appropriate corrections or explain myself more. :)
I learn best through doing and it is the reason I love digital photography. I'm always trying to learn something new (studying & working in a California university) and take interest from the people I meet.

"I think Gio was one of my very first contacts and I was astonished by his work since I discoverd his stream.
I have to say that his landscapes are marvellous and when he posts a landscape I like to watch over it for 5-6 minutes. It's amazing how a photo of him can make your day better! I also adore his long exposure photos. They are always bonny :)
I am very happy to see that he is really a wonderful contact that visits my stream almost everyday and leave such incredible comments. Gio, you gotta keep it up & I can't wait to see your next photos :)"18th December, 2009

"Giovanni. What can I say about your photos? Anything I say won't be able to do you justice because your photos are breathtaking. Every time I see a new submission from you I am even more speechless than the last time. Your photos inspire me and make me want to become a better photograph. It is a real treat seeing your photos. :]"

"I'm sometimes at a loss for words when writing a testimonial but it's easy to be complimentary to Gio. First of all, he's one of the nicest people you could ever meet--always kind and supportive and funny. He's taken to so many photography styles beautifully.
I like the diversity in his stream and how he manages to make ordinary things so interesting and beautiful. He does fantastic work in processing too.He's been turning out some amazing images and video's since getting his hot new camera also!!
If you are lucky enough to have him as a contact you know every word I write is TRUE!
Gio keep inspiring us all and thank you for your friendship."7th September, 2009

He is just an amazing man! So creative and kind hearted, I can just tell how much he really cares about everyone. He answers all of my super silly novice questions and never seems bothered by it. So talented beyond belief..... every picture he uploads is more amazing than the one before. Did I mention he is totally funny too?? Well, he is and he never fails to leave a sweet comment for me and ALL of his contacts!! Do you ever sleep Gio?? LOL
