The previous news item was published almost three years ago... but in spite of this fact, in the meantime many new things appeared on this site. I just didn't announce them here. At the moment I'm not sure whether and how this news section should be used, so in the immediate future new things will appear without an explicit notification here. Some stuff might be referred in a blog post (for instance, blog posts referring to a new photo qsession usually have a link to the diary at the bottom, such as 'More photos of the session can be found...'), but in general keep an eye at the diary and themes pages.

When this site started some years ago there was a clear semantic distinction between “Diary entries” and “Travels”: the former were occasional photo sessions of one day or sessions done in a single place for a couple days, while the latter were planned sessions lasting more than two days, each one spent in a different place along a route.

But recently I've more and more frequently opted to stay in the same hotel even for planned sessions; this allowed me to operate in a more relaxed fashion, and eventually have a second chance for a place in case of bad light. The quality of photos greatly improved.

Consequently, the semantic difference between a “Diary entry” and a “Travel” has no more meaning and I have merged the two sections: all sessions are now in the “Diary”. Old URLs are being now automatically redirected, so there should be no problems (in case you don't find something any longer, please drop me a line).

This year I did a lot of shooting and post-processing is taking a lot of time. That's why you didn't see many published galleries so far. Now I've just completed the work about the first four months of the year:
