Black and White Tales, Print #49

The project is almost done and I decided to close a circle. This image was taken in the same place and with the same subject as the Black and White Tale #1. Around 35 years between the 2 images and a lot of similarities and differences! The image is a part of a project you can see here , about Giulianova harbor . . . See you next week for the conclusion of the project!

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!

There is no reason to not have a culture when public libraries are free and open to everyone… at least if you understand what culture is and do not confuse it with shared ignorance. . . . See you next time.

If we forget to look for the beauty in the world, we will forget the power to create it and will become only able to appreciate destruction and decadence. . . . See you next time.

Black and White Tales – Print #10

Another week and another print from the Italian COVID-19 insulation. President Trump made a great tweet to express his sympathy to Italians during this difficult situation. Here is my personal answer. A little edit of my post after few days. Sadly in this world, specially in Italy, if I simply state that this is “my personal answer” to a tweet by President Trump, people wrongly assume it will be a polemic or negative answer before they even watch the video. So here the message to be clear: I love the USA and I really appreciated President Trump tweet!!! . . . Take a look at my Thunderbirds’ Portfolio here. Keep the fight for health and freedom my friends! See you next week! .

Black and White Tales, Print #8

A good photograph is not just an image, it also needs to be taken with some ethical principles. “Urbex”, an ugly label shortening Urban Exploration, must be done following good practices with respect for people and their properties. Here a little story about ethic and friendship. . . . This image won an Honorable Mention at the 14th Black and White Spider Awards in 2019. See you next week! .
