Tribute to Caravaggio - Bacco revisited

Hello! My name is Bacco (in English Liber or Bacchus) and I’m the god of wine, according to the Roman classical mythology. I’m also know as Dionysus, one of the twelve Olympians of the Greek mythology.

Guerilla Marketing - Footsteps on the beach

I’m back from my xmas hols. I’ve been in Cannes & MonteCarlo (Côte d’Azur / the French Riviera), in a great and unusual hotel called “3.14 hotel”. Very nice one.
I really enjoy my stay cuz of the hotel philosophy: the number Pi (π), the Chakra, the importance of peacefulness, sex, colors, sounds, fragrances and flavours. Very interesting and relaxing.
They surely spent a high budget in communication. AND THAT IS WONDERFUL! [...]

I’m hung-up on spiral. Logarithmic spiral.
The logarithmic spiral is everywhere.

The logarithmic spiral is everywhere and it’s beautiful. Unconsciously.
It’s called the Golden Spiral, and it’s model of excellence, symbol of eternity.

A DOOR WITH NO VIEW - Secret places of the Church.

I’ve ever considered my self a great photographer, but it doesn’t means that my shots are not interesting.
Everbody can see an object, but each of you will see it in a different way. That’s foreseeable! That which I consider important in photography, is giving the right relief to a detail. When I talk about a detail, I mean part of an object or, even more interesting, part of an entire [...]

Me: “Joel? Who’s Joel?”
Maghis: “A great software developer. He has been the program manager [...]
