Last year, during my last months in Melbourne, I got a text from one of my closest and oldest friends from Italy
“We need to talk, I have some important news for you. Skype?”
Minutes later, we were online. I see him show up in the video, his girlfriend next to him and they both had THAT smile on their face.

You know those sleepless nights spent on the computer, jumping between Youtube videos, tech blogs, facebook, weird twitter accounts ecc ecc? Well, I had one of those over a month ago.
No, wait. That's a lie. I have one of those EVERY OTHER DAY.
But in that particular one, over a month ago, something different happened : for some weird reason, I kept stumbling upon content that had to do with medium format film. Youtube videos of photographers talking about it (yes, Zack Arias played a major role there), reviews of medium format digital bodies and comparisons with film, entire new bodies of work shot of old Hasselblad cameras and tons of other stuff I couldn't recall to save my life.
Long story short, before giving my eyes a rest from hours and hours of internet and surrender to sleep, I found an old Mamiya 645E body + lens bundle on Ebay Australia and bought it for dirt cheap.
