Looking up!

You're out of control Marco. Another excellent image.

 

I wonder...do you use the strap on your camera? If not, your images will be cleaner without it.

I do use it, but you have a point, in that if I put it behind my head when I have something like this it would be cleaner.

 

Thanks for the catch.

hi marco. you know, i've been thinking lately, what the hell is a photograph anyway? i get bored when thinking of it in terms of f stops and light and color and all that. in the end, i like best to think of it as story telling, as revealing something not just about the scene, but about the heart and mind of the author. i think of this because from the first i have seen a joie de vivre in your work, a sense of humor, a certain elegance. this photo has its limitations -- the light is terribly harsh to make it more than a snapshot in a technical sense to me, but it has that unique stamp of humor and elegance showing it to be a work of marco ruggierio regardless. and that quality elevates it above the ordinary.

Thanks Ben, from the bottom of my heart, and I hope that you have received my email.

 

Best regrads and hope to hear from you soon.

Ciao Marco,grazie per i tuoi commenti alle mie foto.Anche le tue sono sempre piu' belle. guardo sempre con ammirazione queste in B & W

This was shot while on the street taking other photos.If you should

decide to rate it 4 or less please be kind and leave a comment as to

how to improve it.

Critiques and comments always welcome.

 

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure who is being reflected in what, but it doesn't matter. This looks very Italian to me, reminds me of the famous shot (in Life, I think) of the American girl being oggled on the street by the young men of Florence. Marco, I didn't think you were a paparazzo. Ben is right -- this is great storytelling

I don't know what to say. Thank you as to Ben. Still trying ferociously to learn better techniques, so that the "storytelling" is more consistent.

 

Thanks again for all your interest.

 

Marco

Ah, consistency is an American trait, perhaps really English, but, Marco, you have the soul of an Italian. How I envy that. (not that I'm the least bit consistent)

Oh how many times I got into trouble because of that soul, but then I wouldn't want it any other way.

 

Again thanks so much.

 

Marco

Excellent image...

Very good ! Maybe more contrast would be appreciated

Nice photo, Marco. The expression in his face is just charming.

Isn't it, Though?

 

 

Reflexion bien captada.

Compuesta de forma muy inteligente. Los reflejos siguen dando excelentes resultados.

Me gusta mucho, reflejos de reflejos. Muy buena toma Guido. La imagen reflejada del fondo detras de tu hombro es un puntazo.

Agardecidisimo, como siempre.

 

 

Ciao.

A pesar del fuerte sol californiano y del blanco puro de la ropa, tiene bastante de neorealismo italiano. La pose de la figura izquierda es extraordinariamente cinematografica.

En esta no me pasa como con la otra tuya del reflejo y la ninya. Aqui parece evidente que fotografias al hombre y no a ti, con lo que hay una logica en la foto que funciona.

Muy agradecido por tus comentario en esta y en la otra. Entiendo perfectamente lo que tu me dices y aunque racionalmente no me di cuenta de estas observaciones, al verlas con mas cuidado tu comentario tiene valor. Ademas tu eres el que observa la imagen y naturalmente lo que yo proyecto es lo que tu observas.

Muy buena observacion y muy agradecido por las mismas

:-D

 

Bella foto, punto. me gusta mucho el reflejo detras de ti.

 

paz

Muy amable y gracias por la comparacion a Bernardo, quisiera. para llegar a su estadura tengo que aprender por el resto de mi vida. Gracias por el interes y por tus comentarios.

 

Ciao.

ancora riflessi, ancora un capolavoro; long live to film!
