There is nothing more joyful for a photography aficionado to be behind the lens looking at the world from a different perspective and clicking away to create images that are eternal. The fact is that many artists who paint or sculpt may see photography as a not so serious art, but it still requires a lot of skill and talent to be able to visualize how a shot should look and getting it to come out like that. There is definitely more to photography than just pointing and clicking. It goes without saying that the end results will not only depend on the skill of the photographer but also the subject that is being clicked. Take for instance, ocean wave photography – it offers so many photo opportunities that a lifetime may not be enough to click all the pictures you want to. As you may be aware, each type of photography has its own charms and even specific techniques and it all comes down to what moves you when it comes to the kind of things that you like to capture in your lens. For some it may be the thrill of dazzling and delightful double exposure photography while for others it could be something more like refreshing, fascinating and pretty fish photography.

Zero to Fifty 2018 - ZTF - un insolito Oud dello Sri Lanka Giungla: Sri Lanka, regione mista Distillato: maggio - agosto 2018 Legno: Gyrinops L'IDEA Questo è stato un progetto insolito. Ha prodotto un olio insolito. Abbiamo adottato un approccio di "ammollo del composto". Diversi lotti di legname di regioni miste sono stati divisi in 6 porzioni pesate uniformemente. Abbiamo messo a bagno 1 lotto per 50 giorni. Uno per 40 giorni. Uno per 30. Uno per 20. Uno per 10. E un ultimo lotto senza ammollo. Tutti e 6 i lotti sono stati poi combinati e distillati come un unico lotto. Ci sono voluti quasi 4 mesi per raccogliere il materiale, immergerlo e quindi distillare l'olio - e ciò che l'esperimento ha prodotto ha confuso tutti coloro che hanno annusato l'olio... IL PROFUMO Ho lanciato questo olio al London Oud Fest del 2019 ed è stato molto divertente vedere i volti stravaganti delle persone e ottenere il loro feedback. "È un hindi!" ...No! "È un Laos!" ...doppio no! "È un birmano!" ...triplo no! Stai diventando sempre più freddo ;) "È un... mi arrendo, che diamine sto annusando!?" (È letteralmente quello che hanno detto tutti coloro che hanno annusato l'olio. ahah) E con loro grande stupore: lo Sri Lanka! Questo potrebbe essere l'olio dello Sri Lanka meno tipico dello Sri Lanka che tu abbia mai annusato. Ha un'apertura nel cortile? Sì, ma no. È una fattoria? Sì, ma no. È scadente? Sì, ma no. Alcuni mi dicono che è un po' di fermentazione, altri mi dicono che c'è solo una dolcezza simile allo yogurt. Sembra rivelarsi diversamente a nasi diversi. Ma c'è qualcosa di negativo o spiacevole, o addirittura rientra nel normale spettro del "troppo"? No. Questa è la fermentazione portata ad un'arte elevata. ZTF racchiude tutte le cose migliori che troverai in un hindi, in un laos o in un birmano pur essendo distintamente... diverso. È complesso. È insolito. È inaspettato. Non ha niente a che vedere con quello che ti aspetteresti da un olio dello Sri Lanka... il che lo rende tutto ciò che desideri da un olio di Oud dello Sri Lanka distillato artigianalmente. EDIT - APRILE 2021: Ora che questo olio è invecchiato per diversi anni, sento il bisogno di commentare come si è sviluppato. Nella parte anteriore c'è una brezza dolce, quasi oceanica, su terreni agricoli lontani. C'è una nota di bacche che ha iniziato a svilupparsi... come una delicata masticabilità sostenuta dalla brezza dell'oceano. La complessità di questo olio continua a stupirmi mentre continua a invecchiare e svilupparsi ulteriormente. Posso solo immaginare cosa accadrà a questo decennio. ZTF è davvero una delle gemme trascurate nel nostro attuale arsenale di tesori aromatici.

Conques is a UNESCO World heritage Site and on the list of the "Most beautiful villages in France". It is only 30km east of Figeac but quite different in terms of building materials and architectural style. Its location on the edge of the Dourdou gorge is stunning. The village retains parts of the old town wall and gates. The narrow cobbled streets are lined by well preserved houses. The main attraction is the 10th century Abbaye Sainte Foy, which made it an important stopping point on the pilgrims route to Santiago di Compostello.

Zero to Fifty 2018 - ZTF - an Unusual Sri Lankan Oud Jungle : Sri Lanka, mixed region Distilled : May - August 2018 Wood : Gyrinops THE IDEA This was an unusual project. It yielded an unusual oil. We took a "compound soaking" approach. Several lots of mixed region wood was divvied up into 6 evenly weighed portions. We soaked 1 lot for 50 days. One for 40 days. One for 30. One for 20. One for 10. And a final lot with no soak. All 6 of those lots were then combined and distilled as a single batch. It took the better part of 4 months to gather the material, soak, and then distill the oil - and what the experiment yielded has confounded everyone that has smelled the oil... THE SCENT I launched this oil at the 2019 London Oud Fest, and it was a lot of fun seeing folks quirky faces and getting their feedback. "It's a Hindi!" ...nope! "It's a Laos!" ...double nope! "It's a Burmese!" ...tripple nope! You're getting colder and colder ;) "It's a ... I give up, what the heck am I smelling!?" (It's literally what everyone who smelled the oil said. haha) And to their amazement - Sri Lanka! This might be the most un-Sri Lankan Sri Lankan oil you've ever smelled. Does it have a barnyard opening? Yes, but no. Is it farm'y? Yes, but no. Is it cheesy? Yes, but no. Some tell me it’s a little fermentation - others tell me there is only a yogurty sweetness. It seems to reveal itself differently to different noses. But is any of this negative or unpleasant - or even in the normal spectrum of "too much"? No. This is fermentation taken to a high art. ZTF is all the best things you'll find in a Hindi or a Laos or a Burmese while being distinctively...different. Its complex. It's unusual. It's unexpected. It's nothing like what you'd expect from a Sri Lankan oil...which makes it everything you want from an artisan-distilled Sri Lankan Oud oil. EDIT - APRIL 2021 : Now that this oil has aged for several years, I feel the need to comment on how it’s been developing. On the front end there is a soft, almost oceanic breeze over distant farmland. There’s a Berry note that has started to develop ... like a gentle chewiness underpinning the ocean breeze. The complexity of this oil continues to amaze me as it continues to age and further develop. I can only imagine what a decade will do to it. ZTF is truly one of the overlooked gems in our current arsenal of aromatic treasures.
