Chaos is nature's form of art

Can scientific photography be considered art? Can a lifeless phenomena be alive? Can something we often relate to rationally, bring feelings?

This short story is about an air particle wich, for undisclosed reasons, became warmer than many of the others it had around. For this reason it started to lift, together with other warm particles. At a certain point our particle become so wet that it produced a droplet and so did the other particles. All these droplets created a big cloud which, as it was growing, met winds slightly rotating with altitude: they made the big cloud spin. When the cloud was too heavy, droplets started to fall down, while many other air particles were drawn inside (like food!). A creature named supercell was born! It went on proud of its strenght producing excessive rain, thunders, lightning and hail. But it met something stronger. Mountains diverted its currents and smashed the cloud into many pieces. Such an humiliation for a monster of energy in the sky of Lecco

Amateur photographer with a strong interest in meteorology and geography. My photos are mostly based on clouds and weather conditions on Lake Como, which is where I live.

I've always dreamt of becoming a professional photographer. I really have a great time chasing clouds up & down mountains. I love the thrill of the long waiting and then the few minutes in which everything is just perfect or the scene gets better and better, even beyond my hopes.

Photography to me is something you feel inside. It's not something you can study much and it's not something you can force yourself to do. It's inside or it's not. It's a point of view on life, in the most general sense.
