Many things happening all at once won't make for an absence of surface turmoil.
There's really very little to say about me, most of it is already written on this page and it will probably be out of date once you'll reach it. My username swung back and forth and it is currently set to the former one.
Regarding community, contacts and related elses: i wish i had more time but i haven't. Most evident corollary: there are more or less 1000 unread mails in my flickr inbox, i'm nowhere to be seen and since some months i rarely leave a comment. Ending up browsing friends and contacts stream during the only available time snippets, usually when i'm dead tired and marginally conscious, isn't helping me a bit in being chatty. Please be so kind as to forgive what might be easily mistaken for rudeness or insert yours: it's just existence taking its tolls and twisted turns. I'll be back some day with free slots on a chariot of fire.
And: i'm no photographer. i'm in it just cause i love light.
The beautiful girl often featuring in my pictures is my companion Laura.

J. Star says:
"The work of Tsunami Notes is an amazing combination of the emotional and cerebral, of color and form, of grit and beauty. He is one of my Flickr favorites; his images are things I see in dreams, visions of an alternate universe, sometimes utopian, sometimes hellish. He is an amazing artist and I'm so glad to have found him on Flickr."

"Paolo has the ability to fascinate me with his shots. He is very introspective and it is really for this characteristic that I like. It is not banal. I follow him, as it was my teacher."

"paolo adjusts the camera angle, shoots -- and we get this visual bacchanal, literary philosophic otherworldly images that draw the viewer in and in and in. he is, as carlos saura remarked about one of the dancers he filmed, a great seducer of intelligence. paolo listens to the voices the rest of us trained ourselves away from and no longer hear. and the result: complexity, beauty, stunning originality, cinematic moments that are complete within themselves yet spin in every direction.
his is the only work i know that never bores me, that always without fail merits and rewards repeated study."21st March, 2006

"Paolo, chapeaux bas. I don't know you as much as i wish to but am 100% sure would love your life and would get addicted to it. just as i got addicted to your photos. they always say something like: 'it's not about the quantity but the quality!'. each photo of yours seems like a trip. and i'm always willing to participate in it. please keep going. Laura and you make flickr a really nice place to be (and see). xx"

"Paolo! gosh, i don't need to say a word, your photostream is full of treasures! i can jump from one photo into another and every single one is a pleasure to look at, producing an effect! provoking a thought, a feeling, sensation...
effective pieces of work! the land of tsunaminotes is full of moodish places, breathtaking skies! wonderful clouds! CLOUDS! he's a photographer and a painter, i would not hesitate to let him paint my world; amazing colours even when talking about black&white!
and Paolo! you're such a SMOKER! :P but i adore your smoking portraits ; )
and 'nuvola va via', the picture of the white dog! among all your wonderful pictures this one haunts me! Questa foto è proprio spettacolare, complimenti per lo scatto!
Paolo, 'Il miglior fabbro'!"4th February, 2006

"Paolo's technique is right on. Amazing color and the emotion which his work is known to express is truly moving. I have this guy on my short list. Keep up the good work. -- Jonathan"

"If Kafka had roamed Northern Italy with a digital camera, I think the resulting pictures would look a lot like Tsunami Notes'. He brings a different view to his pictures. Thoughtful, somber, usually surprising, they capture a very unique mood. There's always something thought-provoking in Tsunami Notes' photostream."
