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 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
