About Rocco

Welcome!

My name is Rocco Cinefra, I was born in Bologna (Italy) in 1968.
This Photo Blog is a sort of a photographic diary. Here you can see my recent potographies of travel, wildlife and landscape.
You can also visit my website www.invitoalviaggio.com, online since march 2006.

My photographic adventure began in 1993, along a travel in Mexico. The wish to photograph raised up year by year, with peaks and lows, but mostly it raised up the passion for nature and wildlife.
In particular, I started studyng the life of the bears and the wolwes, animals wich I especially love. In 2004 I left the old film technology and I moved to the digital one. I currently use a camera body Nikon D300s, with Nikkor and Tokina Lens.

I’ve been travelling from about 20 years around the world trough Europe, United States, Canada, Africa, Australia and South America with several and different emotions. The wonderful Italy also gave me huge satisfactions and losing into the close Appennino Mountains, in between forests and elk, is still one of my biggest joy!

Some of my photographs have been published in american and italian magazines. In 2009 I showed my first photographic exhibition: Antelope Canyon – Between light and enchantment

A special mention to my wife Paola.

Travel quotes

“Like all great travelers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.”
(Benjamin Disraeli)

“Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things – air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.”
(Cesare Pavese)

“One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.”
(Henry Miller)

“'Where are we going, man?' I don't know but we gotta go.'”
(Jack Kerouac)

“Tourists don’t know where they’ve been, travelers don’t know where they’re going.”
(Paul Theroux)

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.”
(St. Augustine)

“The use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.”
(Samuel Johnson)

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.”
(Mark Twain)

“Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life.”
(Jack Kerouac)

“For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move.”
(Robert Louis Stevenson)

“When we get out of the glass bottle of our ego and when we escape like the squirrels in the cage of our personality and get into the forest again, we shall shiver with cold and fright. But things will happen to us so that we don’t know ourselves. Cool, unlying life will rush in.”
(D. H. Lawrence)

“Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.”
(Miriam Beard)

“A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.”
(Lao Tzu)

“Travel and change of place impart new vigor to the mind.”
(Seneca)

“Travel does what good novelists also do to the life of everyday, placing it like a picture in a frame or a gem in its setting, so that the intrinsic qualities are made more clear. Travel does this with the very stuff that everyday life is made of, giving to it the sharp contour and meaning of art.”
(Freya Stark)

“When you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make its own people comfortable.”
(Clifton Fadiman)

“Adventure is a path. Real adventure – self-determined, self-motivated, often risky – forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind – and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white.”
(Mark Jenkins)

“Your true traveler finds boredom rather agreeable than painful. It is the symbol of his liberty-his excessive freedom. He accepts his boredom, when it comes, not merely philosophically, but almost with pleasure.”
(Aldous Huxley)

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
(Mark Twain)

“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.”
(Jawaharial Nehru)

“What you’ve done becomes the judge of what you’re going to do – especially in other people’s minds. When you’re traveling, you are what you are right there and then. People don’t have your past to hold against you. No yesterdays on the road.”
(William Least Heat Moon)

“On bended knee is no way to be free,
lifting up an empty cup I ask silently
that all my destinations will accept the one that's me, so I can breathe.”
(Eddie Wedder)
