Our favorite photographers come from the Pacific Northwest.

One of our fav tv series was filmed in Washington State.

Our fav magazine, and all the slow life inspiration we love so much, was crated there, and their HQ is even more gorgeous than you would expect.

And then, there is a magical place, we always dreamed of visiting.

So here you are our travel reportage. Oregon and Washington States, and a stopover in the beautiful Chicago, who has the best film shop ever seen. (Almost) everything was shot on film, unless it was too windy ( oh, Chicago winds!), cold or rainy. Because a slow, meaningful life means savoring every bite of it, with no hurry, or pressure, even the one that forces you to constantly check pictures on a screen, after you click the shutter. Hope you can enjoy it. Slowly, of course.

At times, when the contax was not handy, or it was too cold or rainy we also shot digital, with a Nikon D800 + 50mm f/1.4. Here you are some more pics:

It's no surprise we love to travel. As any photographer, we love it even more because we do that with our bodies and minds and our cameras. So it's not unusual for us to spend half an hour in a small, and apparently uninteresting little alley, taking photos like crazy just because the light is great, or waiting for the perfect moment when a passer-by makes a much more interesting composition in our viewfinder.

That being said, if you don't like photos, do not travel with us. Ever. But if you do, be prepared because this year we'll bring you in three of our most treasured destinations around the world, starting with one of our fav cities in Europe.

We have always loved London, and now we love it even more because during our three-day stay we met wonderful, creative people like Anna, a very talented Italian photographer who moved there and started her photography business, Bianco Photography, and Marco, the man behind the amazing project of People in Photobooth.

All shot with: Nikon D700 & Nikon D800 + Nikkor 50mm. Less is more.
