Mount Seraz,Portugal
a surreal vision on Portugal due to a wrong washing process in the lab ,not my fault this time.However it describe well the atmosphere of a place of a liquid light and silence
Monte Seraz,Portogallo.
Atmosfera surreale dovuta al lavaggio errato della pellicola in laboratorio,non fatto da me questa volta.Comunque descrive bene l'atmosfera di un luogo con una luce liquida e silenziosa.

Matinee/Mattino

2010-03-16T08:17:00.000-07:00

An exception to B/White photographs this one was taken early morning in France with a cell phone.It reminded me of morning when everything had to start and the stillness and wrapping of the merry goes round as the expectation of the day that will unfold.

Una eccezione alle foto in B/Nero,questa foto e' stata scattata con un telefonino a bassa risoluzione in Francia un mattino presto.Mi ricordava quelle giornate dove tutto deve ancora accadere e l'immobilita che precede l'aspettativa di un giorno che deve ancora cominciare.

Phoenix/Fenice

2009-12-01T06:27:00.000-08:00

This could be a feather of a phoenix,sign of rebirth,or a feather lost in a puddle of murky water.Whatever the case,you can choose.
Questa potrebbe essere la piuma di una fenice,simbolo di rinascita,oppure una piuma persa in una pozzanghera d'acqua sporca.A voi la scelta.

Morning

2009-04-02T04:15:00.000-07:00

I like for you to be still:it is as
though you were absent
And I'm happy,happy that it's not true.

Pablo Neruda

This photo was taken in the morning with the shutter as closed as I could(f/11)to achieve the best dept of field I could.Click on the picture and you will see the outline in the distance of San Gimignano through the hazy day.There was no use of filters.

Questa foto e' stata scattata di mattina con il diaframma piu'chiuso che potevo,in questo caso a f.11 per ottenere la massima profondita'di campo in quelle condizioni di luce molto forte e permettermi di leggere la silhouette di San Gimignano nonostante la distanza.Si puo'vedere piu'chiaramente cliccando sulla foto.Non c'e'l'uso di filtri.

Castle/Holland

2009-01-09T08:15:00.000-08:00

Around Durstede,a graphic illustration of this country's mysteries beyond the usual postcards of windmills and tulips.
Obtained by going around without a clue ,on a bicycle,without knowing who's this castle belong too and why caught my attention..and oh,a red filter to create the black foliage against the white of the castle's walls.

Strade provinciali di Durtsede. Giravo in bicicletta,nel paese di non so dove,al castello di non so chi e neanche perche'mi ha interessato cosi tanto. Forse perche l'Olanda e' molto di piu'dei soliti mulini a vento e tulipani.Oh e certo,il filtro rosso per creare contrasto e fare da cornice tra le foglie nere e i muri bianchi del castello.

snow/neve

2008-12-02T09:47:00.001-08:00

A broken pine branch.Caught my eyes despite a much wider and majestic landscape before me.When photograph snow in black and white remember to use a yellow filter for brighter snow.Not like me that I remember it afterward,usually...

Un ramo di pino spezzato.Ha catturato la mia attenzione nonostante un maestoso paesaggio innevato di fronte a me.Quando fotografi in bianco e nero ricorda di usare il filtro giallo per una neve piu'bianca.Non come me che me lo ricordo sempre dopo...

Experiments with extension tubes.A way to achieve magnification with short lenses like a 50 mm one when you do not have a macro.Do not ask me which one of the 3 I had I've used for this shot because I don't remember it..

Paolina Bonaparte

2008-09-29T12:20:00.001-07:00

I never seem to choose my subjects.Rather they choose me ,carrying me in their world without an explicit need nor explanation.I gladly follow them and for these briefs moments of bliss nothing else matter,the world is left behind and no judgments are made,just a record of a dream takes place .

2008-08-04T03:21:00.000-07:00

Relying heavily on imagination when I perform my job as storyboarder for animation,every time I take my camera I have only one rule.Don't touch anything of what you see,just record it.No one can beat reality in its imagination.

2008-05-20T13:27:00.001-07:00

In this project book I've tried to uncover the mystery behind ordinary animals and how they became myths , how humans empower them with superatural powers.The first step I took was to look at them as I saw them for the first time forgetting what I knew to disappear and let them speak for themselves.

This photograph was the second choice of the editor for Black and White magazine.However its published on the web by the ACP[Australian Centre for Photography] after an exhibition .Done in Indonesia,has generated in the viewers two differents reactions.Those who sees cute,sweets cats and those like me who dedicated this photographs to all who suffered in concentrations camps all over the world.Needless to say that those who experienced that by direct experience or by the experience of a relative did recognized that feeling immediately..
