Raphael Barberi📷

I have a strict “enter every church” policy Here are some gems I’ve found

@shepherdmg Amazing! Have you taken any shots with it so far?

@itsrapha83 Gorgeous, I inhetited my father's old 1960s Minolta back in April.

Just found this in my parents’ garage Appears to be fully functional, will update in 2 weeks

@jdvlv The 1B is fully functional but I think I’ll switch the thumb lever of the 1A’s if I figure out how to do it

@itsrapha83 Sounds like 3 part cameras to make one working model?

@jdvlv Not yet, this will be my first batch on film

@itsrapha83 So you shoot any of your work on film?

@SirEvanAmato I’ll bring it with me to Florence ;)

@itsrapha83 Let’s go.

@Liedora2 My first film camera was also my mother’s (first) camera, incredible how they last so long!

@itsrapha83 I use one of those. It was my Dad's and I received it when he passed away. I send the films to thedarkroom.com for developing.

@HellenicEchoes Ahahah yes! Hopefully the photos turn out good but idek if the camera is working

@itsrapha83 That’s a way to make some great vintage photos!

I had the incredible opportunity to photograph the work of @OldSovPub and their bindery in Edinburgh! There’s something truly special about handmade books. Watching them get made in person was a beautiful experience because it allowed me to see how much care goes into making a real high quality book, and how much this art is worth protecting. I’m really grateful for the opportunity and I look forward to seeing where this beautiful project goes! Here’s a little shot of what I’m reading today, courtesy of the truly special Old Sovereign Publishing

We use a lot of old tools...

Watching the Tour de France from my backyard today

@HistoriaJack Gotta go back

The Isle of Skye is magical place

Mandatory monthly Europe appreciation post

@Bleddy81 Without rival

First of July: Europe Appreciation Day. Because Europe is still the best.

@DamonZumbroegel The one above is from a tiny medieval village called Saint Cirq Lapopie in France I have hundreds of photos of arches, so how about one of these?

Oh my goodness Raphael……what a photo! This is amazing. I am working on a “Monumental Arch” project, and I’m trying see what people “imagine” when they hear the words “Monumental Arch”…….when they see a pic of a Monumental Arch, or hear the words…….what is it they “see”. Is it the whole arch, or the details, or the surroundings, or the sculptures? This photo you sent is a perfect arch…..and fits my underlying efforts in my designs. Yet, I’m looking for a pic of an arch that is “Monumental” so that I can see what…..the populous sees. I’m going to use this pic though…..it’s too pretty and perfect. Where is it?

A sunny day in Edinburgh🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@Qptc12 @NaturalWorld515 Thank you so much! I think by the amount of interactions my reply got, it’s only a matter of time before this guy gets demonetised

Edinburgh has unlimited aura

This is where we make our books

@Bleddy81 @seekingxplorer @NaturalWorld515 Breaking: fork found in kitchen

It’s easy to see how this city largely inspired one of the most famous fantasy series in history
