The 3 man from Venice

I am part, or maybe I should tell I was part of an association to spread Intelligent Games (You know... the german or american table-top games... those with wood chips and no dice... BOoooring!!!)
I've taken more than 1000 pictures in the couple of years I was a frequent goer to their events... to say it all now I'm not playing too much but surely we had some funny moments...

One of them was when three of the "Alchemists" and the other two are a couple of friends from Castellammare di stabia...

The one in the second photo, instead, is the Ghigo's little bro... (Don't you know the Ghigo? Sorry for you!)

Both photo were shot as something to rememeber in the last moment of a game night... so tehre's little if nothing post processing at all...

Murder Party

This is one of the many (several hundreds) shots I've taken at several at the meetings of Società Alchemica, a group of people who like boardgaming and other form of gaming too!

This particular shot was taken at one of the first Murder Party when one of the organizers was reading the first event of the game (i.e. the first body to be found) starting the real game after some period to let us enter the roles.

A Murder party is an interesting way to spend a night and a cheap one too as the internet is full of plot seeds for these games.

In the shot I tried to recreate the atmophere of the declaration... using only the ambient light (a stand-up lamp standing on the floor for added effect) and setting the WB to get a hotter / hellish look.

This is not the sharpest image out there but I deemed it as not so important.
