Black and White Tales, Print #45

To keep the mind awake, specially in lock downs, books are a great tool. This image is inspired by a Buzzati’s novel. Not the right book to read right now, being a little bit too much kafkian, but a book that came to my mind this week and inspired this picture years ago. . . . See you next week… and we will see if the tide brought something useful…

Black and White Tales, Print #43

A lot of things are going on right now. The most important is the vote for the presidential elections in USA.Dear Americans, vote wisely so I can continue to work on my plans and keep my dreams. If not, I will have to switch to survival mode, exactly as my parents and grandparents did in the 1940s. . . . See you next week, I hope with my plans still intact.

Tales and Tiles! What a difference between them! Never had back pain for a tale… . . . See you next week when the balcony will be done and I’ll have all the time possible to concentrate on tales instead of tiles!

Are we losing the sense of beauty? . . The sense of beauty is what makes us human but we are forgetting that sometimes.

Black and White Tales, Print #35

As I anticipated in the last B&W Tale, here another image and another story from the roadtrip I took in South Italy, 30 years ago with my father. This time we are in Puglia, exactly in Torre Canne and I wonder how the place can be changed in 30 years. . . . See you next time, probably with another tale and image from the same trip!

Black and White Tales, Print #34

When common sense and a decent education disappear, then we need rules for every aspect of our lives. A moment of a road trip, father and son, became a picture and years later a symbol of the importance of good education. . . . See you next time, and remember, it’s prohibited to… .

Film and my old loved Pentax MX

Sometime we are so busy taking pictures with our digital cameras that we forget to actually look for the right moment. A roll of expensive film, a simple camera without displays, histograms, 10 frame per seconds, auto focus and we can free our mind again from the tool and concentrate to the moment. Yes, I love digital photography and all the opportunities that it offers to us just, once in while, is worth to create a cathartic experience and relearn what is really important. Only 36 frames, a day to spend in a place. I had to walk around and really look for an interesting subject and avoid to waste a picture opportunity on something not worth. Walking around, looking around and, once I found a nice scene with a good composition, just wait for something to happen. In this case was a storm with a lot of rain and the sun appeared illuminating the rain with its rays. Sometime we must think film also with our digital camera, be patient and take the one good picture instead of thousand of mediocre images.
