3 shots in quick succession and One bonus photo at the end of the day

By Massimo Usai

The rain was persistent all day, which is not unusual if you live in northern Europe within walking distance of the Atlantic.


It wasn’t the first time I’d seen it rain like that- I’ve lived in London for 20 years, and I know what “persistent rain” means, so I thought more about not getting wet and making sure I best protect my camera.


Then at some point, the rain stopped.

The clouds began to separate to make room for the sun’s rays as if they wanted to give me a moment’s breath and the chance to take a picture to show with pride.


The wind was moving the clouds fast, and I watched that bus stop at the other end of the road.

I was watching it with curiosity,’ and it intrigued me, but something was missing.


By a miracle, as I pointed my lens towards the stop, a guy with one of those modern scooters passed me in the middle, between me and the Bus stop.


Click, click, click… three shots in quick succession.


I realized I took an “interesting” shot and couldn’t wait to come home to show it to you:

After more than 25 years spent between London, Warsaw, and Brussels—three cities that taught me everything except how to resist a good coffee—I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with international outlets such as The New York Times, Time Out London, and Vancouver News.
Today, I’m the Director of Urban Mood Magazine and the Editor behind Longevitimes.com, where I explore stories at the intersection of culture, photography, and longevity.
I love blending images and words to turn every piece into a small journey—authentic, original, and occasionally a little mischievous.
In recent years, I’ve been diving deep into the world of Sardinia’s Blue Zone, developing expertise in longevity, traditions, and the science behind living better (and longer).
And yes—I’m also an Arsenal supporter. Nobody’s perfect. / To contact me massimousai@mac.com
