Exile - (Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana as seen from the Magliana Neighborhood - Rome) - dedicated...

More than ever, I thank you warmly for your comments, critiques or

suggestions about this shot that is part of a new collection that will

be called "Exiles", ciao G.

The Eternal City (neighborhood style) and the eternal moment (dog style) as only you can present them. Regards from San Francisco, Jack

p.s. Such a pleasure having you back and posting pictures again.

The guardian of the benches! The ambiguous intentions of the dog, his straight look on us and his inclined body position will not allow us to proceed any closer.

Good b/w composition with sense of movement. Lovely model too. Regards.

Strong sense of being there. Great sense of depth and nice tonality. Did this dog raise Romulus and Remus? 

Jack: the pleasure is all mine when I read your witty comments. Rome is a strange and fascinating city where Eternal and Ephemeral melt together creating strange patterns of beauty.

Michail: not without a great amount of irony we could humbly quote Dante's words:

Cerbero, fiera crudele e diversa,/con tre gole caninamente latra/sovra la gente che quivi è sommersa - Cerberus, cruel monster, fierce and strange, / Through his wide threefold throat, barks as a dog / Over the multitude immersed beneath.

Anyway I couldn't reach those benches without receiving a nice, warm and wet welcome hug by that gentle hell-hound.

Marta: I love dogs, they're the best models ever :-)

Dan: maybe this shot is not one of my best, but I love it, mostly for how I got it, directly from my belly, without raising the camera to the eye. This is why it possibly conveys a strong sense of being there.

Bravo, mi piace! Ciao, Maurizio.
