Hi PROXIMO here . I live in Italy, in a city in Tuscany called Pietrasanta ( in the Versilia area ), which is within a step from the seaside;just about fifty miles from Florence. I'm a designer in marble works and I'm very passioned about astronomical photography ,reading and music. I approached photography late, around when I was 25. I started directly from astro photography . I began with an old olympus OM-1, 'till when, one fine day, I came across in a Nikon FM2 SLR camera...It was love at first using! I really got good time ,in those days, with it and my telescope. My firs experiences in the astronomical photography was not so good ,and those first results really frustrated me! I spent four years under the night sky before reaching decent results. Those first experiences led me to a new approach to the photography ,technical and expressive, and led me to the knowledge ,step by step, of the "tradictional photography. Recently I turn from the analogic photography to the digital ( which I distrusted till that moment )...I have to tell you the truth..I found it very funny and this new rush led me to a new inpirations. Now ,for the astrophoto, I generally use a MEADE Schmidt Cassegrain 8" reflector telescope (F2000mm f/10 ,that I use to reduce to f/6.3),one F 800mm refractor ,and a russian made F 1000mm catadioptric that I use also as guide instrument.

Paroles ou lyrics de Harlem (Fables of Faubus) interprétée par Claude Nougaro : Chanter dans l' noir Pour ne pas avoir peur Cruel dilemme Pour un homme de couleur Dans tes rues Harlem, J'entends des sirènes de police Je préfère tes sirènes, Celles qui ont la peau lisse Harlem, Harlem, j'ai peur ! J'ai peur, Harlem, Au milieu de ta nuit Je sens l'haleine D'un couteau qui me suit Quand je me retourne, Des millions d'étoiles devant moi Ruissellent sur les toits De neige et de suie Harlem, chéri Toi, la crèche Où le petit crépu est né Toi, la dèche, Mille fois surmontée Par un swing de velours Dans un tempo d'acier Harlem pacifié, Macrocifié Tiens, v'la Mingus, J' croyais qu'il était mort L'olibrius a toujours du ressort Devant moi il passe A moitié râteau de la rascasse A moitié prote avion Hérissé de rayons Cactus Mingus Un vent glacial Fait du base-ball avec le journal Un génie grève Mais voici le plus beau Le tambour sous terre Fait craquer son tombeau J'ai froid, j'ai chaud Harlem ! Chanter dans l' noir Pour ne pas avoir peur Unique espoir Pour un homme de couleur Soudain le miracle Alors que je n'ai bu que le l'eau J'aperçois Apollon qui sort de l'Appolo Harlem, de neige et de suie Harlem, j' te suis !
