Through Falling Rain (Rome 2009)

This is one a few photos that I shot yesterday after a long inactivity

period due to illness and collected in one single folder dedicated to rain

in Rome. I thank you for your comments, critiques and suggestions, G.

è un foto sofisticato,leggero.impalpabile,... comunque bravo ,hai fatto un bel lavoro, vorrei anch'io riuscire a tanto. ciao..ciao

I thank you for your appreciation of this somewhat difficult shot that I love very much. Rain is full of ghosts in these days, I hope I succedeed in presenting these blurred visions of the Ethernal City under the clouds of this wet february. Thank you again, Giuseppe

As soon as I shot this one I thought that I had - in some mysterious way - shot a self-portrait, and I remembered this poem that I offer to you:

Keeping Things Whole

In a field

I am the absence

of field.

This is

always the case.

Wherever I am

I am what is missing.

When I walk

I part the air

and always

the air moves in

to fill the spaces

where my body's been.

We all have reasons

for moving.

I move

to keep things whole.

Mark Strand, 1964
