Farewell to the PhotoZines

I fell in love with photozines over two decades ago. I recall how much fun it was to flip through the pages of Back Issue the first time I saw one. I admired the photos' originality and creativity.

I liked it because, as a photographer, I saw it as a bridge between an idea and a finished book, as well as a very democratic way to show your images at a low cost.

We decided to say goodbye to the printing of photozine and concentrate on books. We are no longer accepting orders for photo zines. This is because we want to focus on better quality, so the book is the only possibility. We want to thank all the people who supported us during this time. It was a hard decision, but we’re proud of what we achieved with photo zine and thankful to everyone who helped us along the way.

Showcase and Sell your Images with NFTs

Starting from today I will start minting my very first Non-Fungible Token. This is a token saved on the Ethereum blockchain, which is unique and can prove the ownership of a good or service. In this case, a photograph I took.

NFT (non-fungible token) technology empowers content creators such as photographers to control, manage, and distribute their content, and in addition, is a great platform to showcase, promote, and sell their images.

The introduction of NFT technology has begun to benefit the photography world. With regard to my point of view, photographers should be making use of cryptography and blockchain technology features that ensure their work cannot be replicated, and thus proof of authenticity is backed by math and code.

Photographers can mint ethereums (about 50 cents) on a blockchain that is interoperable with Ethereum. It is cheaper to make more coins at once.

SmartNFTs enables photographers to create one final NFT with multiple layers of NFTs, while also implementing various functions, such as lifetime royalties. Any future sales of the NFT, from one owner to another, would incur a royalty to the digital artist.

NFT is getting more and more popular, and this time the Ethereum network, which has been upgraded since 2017, is better equipped to deal with the constant activity. NonFungible.com, a company that publishes market insights on NFTs, says that in 2020, the value of NFT trading was approximately $250 million, an increase of 300% from the previous year. People are paying high prices in both cryptocurrency and legal tender to purchase tokens that represent ownership of digital objects, which are then resold at a higher price.

NFTS the Basics

The Gondolier's Hat

The “Gondolier's Hat” is a mixed B&W - Colour image of mine.

Shot in Venice a few years back on a very calm and small canal in the Fenice area. This is the summer hat (The winter one is in wool and black) traditionally it is made of woven straw with coloured bands on both the crown and brim.
