Black and White Tales, Print #50

After a year, the most strange, upsetting and confusing year of my life, the Black and White Tales project arrived at its end. A project that helped me stay alive in this crazy world. . . I hope you enjoyed it, now is time for me for some postpartum depression and I will be back in January with other projects to share with you.

This week I got inspired by a comment from Christian Speck on my last Tale video. First, check is website ‘case is worth. Second, he suggested me a book: Code Zero by Marc Elsberg. A very intriguing book and the inspiration for this Tale. . . . Two more weeks to go…

Another week and few more to go before the end of this project. A week that made me think how we arrived at the use of atomic bombs to stop a war after more than 60 millions casualties. What was the point of no return that brought the world to the tragedy of a world war? . . . See you next time and we will see if we will go past the pint of no return or we will be smarter than our ancestors!

It’s a strange thanksgiving with socialist dictators trying to kill the celebration of my preferred holiday, to destroy its deepest meaning. Another week and another meditation about the freedom we are losing. . . . See you next week!

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…

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.

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…

What are your passions? Are you ready to give them up? Mine is aviation and I hope I will be able to continue with it. In a couple of weeks there will be the most important election in the world history. The world had never been so divided between two opposite philosophies. The choice you will make can mean you will lose the possibility to follow your passions. Think about that. . . . See you next time, in the meantime stay free!
