This summer has been an incredibly pivotal moment in my life - a transition from student life at the University of Virginia to professional life in the MaisonSabbatini, from the Americas to Europe - one of the most important steps toward my future I've taken so far.
I entered this new world looking all around me wide-eyed, simultaneously out of nervousness and excitment.

I never put my camera down.

I felt the need to immortalize this photographic period in my life through my first self-published book of photographs, a collection of portraits taken in Milano, Italy (my city of origin) and Budapest, Hungary (a city from which my blood originates) - all characters I had the pleasure of sharing an instant of life with during the SUMMER of 2008.

This version is in LARGE FORMAT, which presents the photographs to their full potential, however a STANDARD SIZE version is also available, which is more economical.

One last thing, please help me out and let anyone you think may be interested know about this!

Thank you - and I hope I can photograph you someday..

Special thanks to my mother, Moma, Nonno John, Dustin Thompson, Olivia, my father, and the MaisonSabbatini and all its extraordinary creatures.
