I just received the  message telling me that Mr. Pinketts' gone to a another world.

Andrea G. Pinketts was an italian writer and journalist.
"You’re not just taking a picture, but you’re inserting all the images you’ve seen, the books you read, the music that you listened to and the people you loved.  Ansel Adams

I feel so empty and like crying. Sometimes, or most of the times, we think we are invincibile and eternal, but it's not so. I  missed the chance to see him once again before his departure.
I photographed Andrea during the world motorcycle fair EICMA 2016. His sad look and yet stubborn  defying life, drinking and not treating him so well as most of the so called 'cursed writers', forced him to get one ticket ride to another world and don't come back. I feel sad. When you photograph a person it's like a part of them lives inside you and somewhat you are connected with them forever. I feel like a little part of me died today.
So sorry Mr. Pinketts that you're gone without saying good bye, you told me beautiful stories that will not forget. As I will not forget your warm embrace at the end of this BTS.

Ho appena ricevuto il messaggio che Mr. Pinketts è andato in un altro mondo.
Andrea G. Pinketts è stato uno scrittore e giornalista italiano.

"Non stai solo scattando una foto, ma stai inserendo tutte le immagini che hai visto, i libri che hai letto, la musica che hai ascoltato e le persone che hai amato." Ansel Adams

Mi sento così vuota che mi viene da piangere. A volte, o la maggior parte delle volte, pensiamo di essere invincibili ed eterni, ma non è così. Ho perso l'occasione di vederlo ancora una volta prima della sua partenza.
Ho fotografato Andrea durante la fiera motociclistica mondiale EICMA 2016. Il suo sguardo triste eppure ostinato a sfidare la vita, a bere e a non trattarsi  bene come la maggior parte dei cosiddetti "scrittori maledetti", lo ha costretto ad acquistare un biglietto per un altro mondo senza ritorno. Mi sento triste. Quando fotografi una persona è come se una parte di loro vive dentro di te e in qualche modo sei connesso con loro per sempre. Mi sento come se una piccola parte di me fosse morta oggi.
Mi dispiace Mr Pinketts che tu sia andato via senza che ci salutassimo, mi hai raccontato storie bellissime che non dimenticherò. Come non dimenticherò il tuo caldo abbraccio alla fine di questo video.
