About me

Dolcemente viaggiare
Rallentando per poi accelerare
Con un ritmo fluente di vita nel cuore
Gentilmente, senza strappi al motore

I'm Fabrizio Giudici, born in Genoa, Italy. I'm a software engineer and I run my own small company. But if you're here, I guess it's because you're interested in my photographer's activities.

I bought my first SLR in 1996, when I started traveling for attending some conferences, but it was a point-and-shoot, P-mode only Minolta camera body. Only in 2000, just before leaving for two weeks in San Francisco, I decided that it was high time I took photography more seriously: I bought a more sophisticated body, with full exposure control, and switched from negative to slide films. In 2001 I got rid of the previous equipment (based on cheap, third-party lenses) and bought a Nikon F-80, choosing for Nikkor prime lenses only (you can learn more about my equipment here).

Later, in September 2001, after a successful four-year experience in starting up and growing an IT consultancy company with two friends, I decided to quit and start working as a freelance, as I didn't have enough time to follow all of my interests: now I take a couple of days to break with my job as frequently as possible and, being the manager of myself, I take advantage of business travels for visiting new places.

In 2003 I took my last film shot and entered the digital world.

In this site you can find some galleries and technical articles by me; you might want to visit also TimelessWanderings.net, another photography site that will be dedicated to my better shots (but at the moment it's pretty messy). I'm definitely not a professional, but I hope that my photos succeed in conveying the atmospheres and feelings experienced during my constant and progressive “discovery” of the world out there.
