Blader Zine #1 - “ 3 ”

Wow. Everytime i write something here i feel like i have to reintroduce myself or ask forgiveness for not updating for so long. Anyways, what i'm writing about is a nice thing. Our dear friend Matteo Guidi has been busy with a youth project lately, supported by the local City Hall. He smelled the opportunity and he proposed his idea to his supervisors, who accepted with enthusiasm: he wanted to make a fanzine about rollerblading.

IRSB Milan: a bone braker - “ 3 ”

We've just come home from another weekend away. This time the event we gathered for was the IRSB (Italian Rolling Street Battle) in Milan. Let's start by saying that this is not a report of the event since i've been more busy doing other things than following the whole contest, so it's just a snippet of what we've been able to see. I'll start by confessing that we missed the whole Saturday sessions. Apart from a visit at the first spot we went away before they moved to the first flat rail. On Sunday we overslept and missed most of the semifinal rounds again, but we were there for the finals and that's were the drama starts.

Three days weekend - “ 6 ”

All right, we've been pretty busy and lazy lately - no posts, no news- i know. But those are busy times, especially last weekend.

On friday night we packed our stuff and headed to Bologna, where Trony and Bizze were waiting for us. After the long drive we left the bags in their house and the guys went out since it was Matteo Guidi's birthday - yeah, i'll let you guess his age. After some hours of sleep, we went to Modena on satuday. There we met with the gus from Verona (Pedro, il Duca, Nicholas and Simone). Unfortunately it started raining and we chilled a bit waiting for the rain to stop. Then we went to the first Modena banks, which almost everyone killed with tree stalls, truespin tsoul and ts ao fishy.

Photostreaming 24/7 - “ 3 ”

This has been a kind of unpredictable summer, i've been forced home for a whole month and our skating project dissolved. But we didn't lose the grip and fed you throughout the summer with fresh photographs with our Flickr account.

Cross Processing in Photoshop - “ 1106 ”

Hei everybody, this is my second tutorial about photo retouching (the first one can be found here). As i stated previously, i'm not a big fan of post-processed photographs or heavily photoshopped images, as i believe that the goal of a photographer is to achieve what is on his mind with his camera and not through his computer. But sometimes Photoshop can be useful to mimick some long or expensive procedures, or just to kill a couple of hours when you're bored.
So, after explaining my point of wiew, today what i'm showing is some kind of cross processing procedure.
I've stumbled across this method after palying a while with the newly released Nikon Capture NX, and then improveed it and converted to 8 Photoshop steps for your convenience.

Mimicking Wes Driver - “ 21 ”

My friend Simone yesterday came for an unexpected visit. We went to the beach and skated a bit. I've shot a couple of pics at the local skatepark, but since they turned out being nothing special, i thought of a discussion i had with Trony a while ago about photo retouching.
The picture above is mimicking Wes Driver's photo retouching style as shown on DBmag.com.

Some Flickr coverage - “ 4 ”

Flickr is a really nice photosharing service, which has been up for quite a while now. Our official non-professional-still-in-need-for-the-right-gear-photographer Simone, has a couple of pictures to share with us.

Zena is still active! - “ 4 ”

All right, we had this little trip to Milano planned already a week ago, but we had to posticipate it due to organizations issues. So last week-end we packed cameras and skates and hit the highway on Matteo's super Fiesta.
The roaming crew was just 3 of us: me (Simone), Pietro (new kid on the block) and Matteo (Flow Team Bisca), but we had Albi and Jason (Team Bisca) waiting for us up in Milano.
