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.

Black and White Tales, Print #42

The Covid anxiety is back. Media, here in Italy, push continuous news about the cases count and create panic. The numbers don’t add up, but who cares, all they care about is creating enough panic to justify the socialist government grab of power. In this environment I was thinking at the good old days when the news came from newspapers, just once a day. . . . See you next time! Still 8 weeks to go…

It’s not just that I’m an old dinosaur…

I had been asked many times why I still use film for some of my projects. Sometime the fact that I’m an old dinosaur was implied, but is not just that. The fact is that I really like film photography for many reasons and not just for the better aesthetic for some situations. Here my main ten reasons, you can read just the titles or you can open the video below and hear the complete explanation I give: It’s simple Better learning curve More control Film means reality Visible without tools Variety of formats and cameras Aesthetic Value It’s a slow process It’s analogue! If you want to see a comparison between film and digital, you can read a couple of articles I wrote some time ago: Digital Fuji Acros vs Ilford FP4 Film Fuji Acros Digital vs Fuji Acros Film Until the next time!
