When people ask what equipment I use - I tell them my eyes.

It's not the camera, but who's behind the camera.

"My future starts when I wake up every morning... Every day I find something creative to do with my life."
Miles Davis

"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."

"They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel."
Carl W. Buechner

"Inspire yourself and others will be inspired. Motivate yourself and others will be motivated. Develop yourself and others will start to develop themselves. Be an example first and then the world changes around you."

Una grande immagine è una comunicazione espansiva che richiede sempre un'interpretazione, la quale può essere capita in tanti modi diversi a seconda della cultura e del momento in cui si trova ogni destinatario.

    "Solo una frase per descrivere Zak:

    - "Il desiderio di scoprire, la voglia di emozionare, il gusto di catturare:

    tre concetti che riassumono l' arte della fotografia"

    (H.Newton)

    *Per me tu sei così; non cambiare mai !!"

    "zakketty3000 fut l’un de mes premiers amis sur flickr : J’ai tout de suite aimé sa gentillesse, ses photos et adoré les poèmes qu’il partage avec nous.

    Oui, Gianni est un artiste-philosophe qui exprime nos émotions en images pleines de beauté et de singularité. Il nous fait découvrir le l’âme des hommes et de leur monde à travers ses photos.

    Bravo l'artista !"

    "El tiempo está a favor de los pequeños
    de los desnudos, de los olvidados
    el tiempo está a favor de buenos sueños
    y se pronuncia a golpe saturado
    Gianni es como ese tiempo, nos conmueve nos alegra nos hace esperarlo cada dia y desesperar en la espera cuando? cuando no llega, es simpático, profundo , no pierde la ternura , impaciente luchador de los abusos a todo lo que existe, con solo tres cortos diálogos ya se le puuede querer mucho como si hubiese estado presente en toda nuestra vida, es lindo y bueno su corazón, es un angelito bueno
    le regalo este poema canción de Silvio Rodríguez

    Soltar Todo Y Largarse

    Soltar todo y largarse, qué maravilla,
    atesorando sólo huesos nutrientes,
    y lanzarse al camino pisando arcilla,
    destino a las estrellas resplandecientes.

    Pantalones raídos, zapatos viejos,
    sombrero de ventisca, ojo de garra,
    escudriñando enigmas en los espejos
    y aprendiendo conciertos de las cigarras.

    Con amores fugaces e inolvidables,
    con para siempre grávidos como espuma
    y el acero afilado de los probables
    colgado vigilante junto a la luna.

    Soltar todo y largarse. Qué fascinante
    volver al santo oficio de la veleta,
    desnudando la vida como un bergante
    y soñando que un día serás poeta.

    Eva"

    "There are so many nice things I could say about Gianni, but there wouldn’t be enough space on this page. So I will have to shorten it.

    I think Gianni is a true philosopher, and a very creative and talented artist. He has an open , warm, and, beautiful heart and soul, and, all of this can be seen when you really take the time to look at his work on flickr. If you look at the wonderful and unusual and sometimes beautifully crazy photos he brings, along with the quotes and song lyrics he uses – you will find yourself feeling all sorts of emotions - anything from joy, laughter, sadness, love, inspiration and just deep reflection on life, what makes a good or great person and how turn life’s hardship into something positive. Through his work and his interaction with me, including his comments on my work I have come to realise that Gianni is a lovely, thoughtful, funny, kind and trustworthy person who makes a very nice friend too. This is why I think he is a true Diamond – a Sparkling Diamond - and his words are like gold and precious gems.

    Here are some lines from a few songs that make me think of Gianni and his work.

    Lucy in the sky with diamonds.- Beatles

    Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
    With tangerine trees and marmalade skies.
    Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
    A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

    Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
    Towering over your head.
    Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
    And she's gone.

    {CHORUS}
    Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
    Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
    Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
    Ah... Ah...

    Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain,
    Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies.
    Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,
    That grow so incredibly high.

    Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,
    Waiting to take you away.
    Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,
    And you're gone. ……”



    "Wind Beneath My Wings” Bette Middler and other Artists

    ……“Did you ever know that you're my hero,
    and everything I would like to be?
    I can fly higher than an eagle,
    'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

    It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
    but I've got it all here in my heart.
    I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
    I would be nothing without you.

    Did you ever know that you're my hero?
    You're everything I wish I could be.
    I could fly higher than an eagle,
    'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

    Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
    You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
    Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
    'cause you are the wind beneath my wings,
    'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

    Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
    You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
    Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
    Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
    Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.

    Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
    so high I almost touch the sky.
    Thank you, thank you,
    thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.”

    Diamonds are forever - Shirley Bassey

    “Diamonds are forever,
    They are all I need to please me,
    They can stimulate and tease me,
    They won't leave in the night,
    I've no fear that they might desert me.
    Diamonds are forever,
    Hold one up and then caress it,
    Touch it, stroke it and undress it,
    I can see every part,
    Nothing hides in the heart to hurt me.

    I don't need love,
    For what good will love do me?
    Diamonds never lie to me,
    For when love's gone,
    They'll luster on.”"

    "zakketty3000, dont j'ai pu apprécier la qualité de sa galerie possède le sens du détail qui nous manque si souvent parfois. La chose qui fait du petit plus, le véritable artiste. Il a su tirer parti de ce don et s'approprier un vrai style. Où l'image parle d'elle-même et où l'on ressent toutes sortes d'émotions. Et c'est cela qui est bien!"

    "A zakketty3000 lo conocí como se conoce a gran parte de los buenos fotógrafos: a través de su trabajo.

    Sus fotografías no son las clásicas de muchos de nosotros, el siempre busca lo diferente, lo inusual aquello que otros ojos no encuentran belleza, su variedad hace que uno este al pendiente de cómo será la siguiente
    Cuando hace comentarios, siempre son con ese toque, que resalta una sonrisilla, es travieso, y juguetón, amable… y , ..Por eso se le extraña cuando no vemos su firma. Es entonces una persona que se le quiere, se le estima y se le respeta porque sabe ser amigo
    Me siento orgullosa de ser parte de sus contactos"

    "Gianni ricerca i particolari del mondo che ci\lo circonda, è sicuramente una persona curiosa, caratteristica molto importante per non lasciarsi sfuggire immagini che nel quotidiano ai più sfuggono. Le sue foto mostrano sempre qualcosa che va oltre la foto, un reportage di vita, queste fotografie sanno di sensazioni provate, mi piace molo questa cosa.
    Bravo...continua così!
