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!

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… .

The facts regarding Magnum and the suspension of the photographer David Alan Harvey, that you can read about in a PetaPixel article, started a debate online about photojournalism. As usual, most of the debate was pro or against D.A. Harvey by people not knowing the facts and pretending to judge, forgetting as usual the principle of innocence. Personally I started to think about photojournalism and why I never worked in that field. This week picture is a symbol of my choice and a good starting point to explain it. . . . My opinion about the Magnum case is very simple: I do not understand what is going on and what was behind the series of events, included the elimination of some pictures by Harvey from the agency archive, that ended with the suspension. I only know that for me a man is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, and I’m sure there are better reasons to suspend people from a photo agency, like for example staging images, retouching them and being an a%%^#le with a poor Afgan girl. But if you create a propaganda that fit the agency nobody will suspend you, no matter how much […]

Gear Talk: Pentax K1000

Ok… I know… a lot of people will hate me for this… Pentax K1000, a great cheap camera at that times… a very overpriced camera on the used market! . . I promise, next time some camera I love more…

Gear Talk: Pentax Spotmatic

One of the most classic and iconic Pentax cameras. This camera introduced the TTL integrated meter and was a revolutionary camera that changed SLRs. Beautiful lenses available with m42 screw mount. Watch the video to learn more. . . The camera in the video was part of my first Phoenix Photo Project that was recognized at the London International Creative Competition. . . Until the next camera!

To express complex ideas we need complex formal languages. In visual arts one of the most important language is composition. In this week print I wonder why we moved from complex form of compositions to the banality of a “mandatory” rule of thirds… and I wonder also about some other things… It’s a long ranting, you are advised! lol . . . Until the next one…

A real summer t-storm with rain… better than a AI created fake sunny day. Sometime I just use film photography to document a moment with a medium that cannot be manipulate by AI to create a fake reality. But I’m an old dinosaur still thinking that ethic is essential and truth exists. . . . See you next time!

Black and White Tales, Print #25

Will David get his sling and fight the Goliath mob or will he too will succumb to the modern bullies? . . “That violence is not practical. If my fellow men believe that the force of the combined tonnage of their muscles is a practical means to rule me — let them learn the outcome of a contest in which there’s nothing but brute force on one side, and force ruled by a mind, on the other.” Ragnar Danneskjold – from Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. . . See you next time… if David will stand! .
