When I was a university student I felt Rome and my environment was choking me. I needed to be away, a way out… I would dress like a homeless person whenever I could, so nobody would notice me when I spent whole days at Rome Termini railway station. I had two compact cameras in my pockets, a reflex taped to my chest, and a shutter release cord in my sleeve. I wanted to take photos of everything, get near it all, be as close as possible. I’d have taken every train, followed every person.
