Back
in 2010, fellow enthusiastic photographer Emanuele
Siracusa was planning fabulous world trip and also thought
photography could well be a new career for him, I saw he had a great
potential, especially with portraits. It turned out his (and his
wife's Romana) travel
blog
grew
and grew into popular website, full of humanity, beauty, inspiration
and travel tips, along with interesting landscapes and portraits of
local people.
The
photography they took while travelling had brought a lot of attention
beyond their blog and once back home, it seemed like Emanuele's
desire to pursue photography more professionally could be very
realistic. I just learnt that they got robbed, thoroughly
robbed, hard drives, cameras, flashguns...and this gives me shivers
because while it's easy to back pictures up, it's equally easy for any of us to forget or just to
save the jpegs from them. As inspiring as they
always are, they launched a great
campaign to raise the funds to get replacements for the gear
: donate or buy a print from them, and help them at the same time,
that's a very fair deal.I personally bought this
one but check out all you can do for
them here and
check updates on their campaigns here. Thank you !

Hey - I didn't realize you had posted this. So thank you very very very MUCH! :)
ah, it's such a tragedy no one wants to happen, particularly with a nice bit of archive you had put together, had to share the message. It's also a great inspiration you had to react with this idea of prints. Cant wait to see my one... well, I CAN wait, no pressure intended eheh but I'm looking forward to receiving it !
