impressions The beginning of a journey

Nor the days, nor months, nor years pass away without giving prints of

time. A kind old lady who gave me the gift of taking her one picture.

She was the first beautiful lady I took a picture couple of months

ago, but I didn't uploaded until today. In fact she was my favorite.

She didn't wish to talk, she acceded me photographing her and she just

watched in the most pacific way how I took her a picture.

In first instance I would say that this is a portrait. Maybe my fault, but I miss the relationship between photo and title. The post-processing makes it harsh, but also flat, eliminating the third dimension of the face. I apologise if I missed the intentionality of this.

I enjoyed the reading of your little story.

and enjoyed the viewing of the shot,it is really a fine one,cause this is what we will face all except for those who their journy at a young age.

she was shaped as such not only by time but also by the effect of other human effects,and just who could better do such a map than human ?

thank you for showing me such a lovely face with a shining eyes.stay well and fine.

Alessandro. I explained in the other lady I have, my pictures of the old people who work/live on the streets are more documentary than a portrait. It's very important to me to get little stories from people I see pretty much forgotten on the streets/ or who people seem to care little. But you're also right. It's also a portrait. But I don't have any lights in locations to shoot it as a portrait. I carefully choose the time of the day and the person I'll take since I don't move them to any location. When a Painter does his painting, the painter makes an interpretation of the person, and the painter chooses what to be more noticeable . About the tittle, It's pretty much symbolic. The beginning of a journey is for me as a documentary photographer. Most of my pictures have an audience, the picture itself. Not necessarily a picture has to have a relationship with the tittle, because at the end, it is the audience who make the interpretation of the picture. Because of the impression, the feelings, and emotions that can convey will be different even from the photographers vision. That's what I love of photography. It's always an interpretation. Thanks for your comments, appreciated. stay well :).
