This book is about a journey to Africa, Tanzania and Zanzibar. It is made with some images stolen from this wonderful country.
In Africa you cannot take photos of people. They don’t like being portrayed, since they believe that by being captured in photographs their soul will be stolen. I used an Olympus Pen half-frame and never framed the picture, I just simply shot what impressed me.
The concept of half-frame is interesting. The combination of the images created on film sometimes generates surprising compositions, that we had not always thought about. Furthermore, the composition made in an approximate, not studied and some- times inaccurate and “random” way, reflects the spontaneity that must never be lost when we look at things for the first time.
That experience was full of intense emotions, and made me think on how rhythm and priorities are very different from those which we are accustomed today. This was one of my projects left in the drawer, that I wanted to work on, because you should never leave things unfinished behind you.

Immagini affascinanti e nel contempo spontanee di viaggio, che rievocano flash di memorie e sensazioni vissute.
Complimenti Marko, Well done!

Maruko, il libro è bellissimo!
Quandi ricordi e quante emozioni affiorano, è stato un viaggio stupendo, probabilmente il più bello della mia vita. Questo anche per merito tuo.
Grazie, amico mio.
