Why i love the Local Guides program

For me this program represents a lot, it represents the opportunity to live more carefully my travels both near home (many photos taken in the pub or ristorants to the particular chairs, crooked tables or beautiful pictures with the aim to upload them on google) and far away from home (I spent about 30 minutes in front of the Eiffel Tower hoping to take a good overview, and in this way I focused much more on the landscape). It also represents the possibility to help people to discover places otherwise unknown, and several people confessed to me that they easily found, or had an idea of, some places thanks to my photos. This program has been an incentive to do all this and I am very grateful for that. In the photo that I enclose, surprisingly taken by me, I was on Lake Carezza, near Bolzano in Italy, and for this reason in this photo is summarized my sensitivity and my desire to discover the world, to know new people and places but to do it gently, and to share especially the beauty that surrounds us, even if it is just a photo. For me it is right to share in order to make others appreciate what one sees.

In the photo that I enclose below instead I represent my beautiful region that I love because it is full of incomparable beauty. This photo is of the Amalfi coast, for me the most beautiful place in the world.

I am really grateful and honored to have been involved in this project and the emails that come from time to time, thanking you for what you have done, are really very satisfying. Giving the opportunity to ordinary people to share their photos is a really great thing, which costs nothing and helps everyone. I, for my part, have worked very hard and I hope to help as many people as possible.

Hi @Davide96

This looks like it might be your post for your Connect Live 2020 application and if so I’m sorry that I and no one else saw it earlier as it should have been posted under the Local Stories topic and not here in Photography. If so, perhaps a moderator here can help with this. Best of luck and I do like your photos @Davide96 .
