Things III !(left)http://nontroppo.org/pictures/things/3.jpg! On the first day that we arrived in Italy to visit my "Dad,":http://nontroppo.org/pictures/humans1/2.html because we flew in to Pisa airport, we stopped in Pisa for a morning espresso and a little walk (you remember how good coffee can be when you arrive to Italy....). After our espresso and wonderful freshly made pastries, we sauntered to see the leaning tower after it had been 'cured' of its perpetual collapse. Parked next to a back street tourist stall, where one is able to buy leaning tower pepper mills and postcards of Galileo nude, was this car completely filled with cats. There must have been around 12 cats lounging inside and outside the said vehicle. This cat on the roof was blissfully unaware of all the tourist commotion around him. The owner of the car, who also owned the stall, obviously didn't mind the fact he was driving round in what was basically a giant fur ball...

Colours II !(right)http://nontroppo.org/pictures/colours/3.jpg! Here is another of my photos from the "colours gallery":http://nontroppo.org/pictures/colours/, this one was taken when I was in a cage filled with polystyrene cubes with only a UV light for company!!! The closed cage had a wind-generator below it and you would be enveloped in a maelstrom of glowing cubes!!! Very cool kinetic sculpture... The scanning of this image was quite poor unfortunately, thus the colour range (from blue to,well, um blue) is compressed down making the electronic file less appealing than the original print.

Colours I !(right)http://nontroppo.org/pictures/colours/1.jpg! I intend to start adding some of my photos to the blog weekly, with some background information on each one. Here is the first, a rather abstract image. I remember walking back from Soho at about 2am and seeing a shop with some coloured lights in the window. I took it moving the camera slowly along the glass in one direction during the exposure time (around 10 seconds). This shows the advantages of night-photography without using a flash, and most of the "'colours' series of images":http://nontroppo.org/pictures/colours/ I have are taken this way.
