random photo meme

Just got tagged by my great friend and top artist Bethany in bethanyblog..

Fun one, here is how it goes:
1. Go to the 4th picture folder on your computer.
2. Post the 4th picture in that folder.
3. Explain the picture.
4. Tag 4 more bloggers.




So this is what I would call the best cappuccino in the world. A piece of art, a concentrate of kindness, an elixir of happiness. When I used to live in Roma, I had this little tiny cafe in Via Giulia, Cafe Peru. Its owner, Alfredo, is the most delicious person, a true Italian full of passion and wonderful generosity. Alfredo is a magician, and he distills his secret in his cappuccino.
When I was tired, or barely awake because I had to catch a plane at 6am to go to Milan, I would first stop in his cafe. He would open it for me at 4:30am. Reading my mood of the day, he would craft his cappuccino like a maestro transcending his art. The result was simple, I never left his place without a smile on my face and my heart as light as the froth of his magical potion! He is one in a billion. I just wish I knew someone with his passion and art for coffees in London. The day would be brighter, even in the middle of the winter.

Theo through the lens

I always imagined that I would do some nice shots of Theo when time would allow. Well it was just a matter of taking the time. Sunday we setup the environment to do some cool close-up shots that he will certainly love on his wedding day 20 or 30 years down the road.

Another snow

Snow came in for the second time this year... And what a snow!!! About 20 cm fall overnight. Our street is transformed, dressed with the most beautiful coat of fluffy stuff.

Of course the children love it! Enjoy the day
