Havana, family self portrait

Havana, Cuba (April 2019)

The family self portrait  project started in January 2011. 
I take one portrait of the whole family, myself included, once a month.  
In late 2013 a "ghost" writer joined the initiative and now each photo is accompanied by a poem.
In 2015 the kids started collaborating and introducing their own ideas
...the project has a life of its own

also,
Every family should do this. It's an amazing record of the little things that matter

Hotel California, family self portrait series





Milan, Italy. One of the hardest hit by the COVID19.

This was back in early January, when we still had high hopes that 2020 would be a normal year.
It is kind of ironic that in our ignorance we painted such a predictive future. confined in a small space. not quite clear what is going on beyond it .... reeps of claustrophobia.

Thirty five days in total lockdown, RT still going up. And counting.....

the days are long



The days are long and repetitive. There is no opportunity to go out, to hang out with friends... so we have to stay creative. The trampoline meant to keep them moving and interested to be outdoors is also now referred to as the "star gazer". Off they went for a night of movies and stories in the moonlight

washing the shop, the new normal



shopping time has doubled, if not tripled, between the long lines to get in, 
the long lines to pay and the fact that you then have to wash all items carefully...
