what an eye you had! Compliments, ciao, Giuseppe

only silence, thanks for posting this document (and the others of this sequence9, ciao, G.

very "x-files" :-))) Jokes apart, I like very very much your choice of color tones and the positioning of the subjects. thanks for sharing, ciao, Giuseppe

very much. Thanks for sharing, G.

a work that builds it strengths on emotions, colors and proportion. Visual poetry. Thanks sensei, ciao, Giuseppe

my compliments, I like it very much, ciao, Giuseppe

no better thanks for your words than quoting the song that was one of my favorites:

Streets of London" - Ralph McTell, 1969

Have you seen the old man

In the closed-down market

Kicking up the paper,

with his worn out shoes?

In his eyes you see no pride

And held loosely at his side

Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news

 

So how can you tell me you're lonely,

And say for you that the sun don't shine?

Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London

I'll show you something to make you change your mind

 

Have you seen the old girl

Who walks the streets of London

Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags?

She's no time for talking,

She just keeps right on walking

Carrying her home in two carrier bags.

 

Chorus

 

In the all night cafe

At a quarter past eleven,

Same old man is sitting there on his own

Looking at the world

Over the rim of his tea-cup,

Each tea last an hour

Then he wanders home alone

 

Chorus

 

And have you seen the old man

Outside the seaman's mission

Memory fading with

The medal ribbons that he wears.

In our winter city,

The rain cries a little pity

For one more forgotten hero

And a world that doesn't care

 

May you stay forever young my friend,

Ciao, Giuseppe

I am happy you found echoes of neorealism and metaphysical art in this shot. I appreciate very much your works and words, ciao, Giuseppe

for your comments.

Mishu, since a young boy I read André Breton and was attracted by his ideas, your words made me happy!;

Gunnar, they arranged themselves in front of my eyes like pieces on a strange chessboard made of stone and light.

Carlos, life is an intricate, beautiful labyrinth of interwoven references. I will reply to your comment quoting José Saramago that once wrote: "Some people spend their entire lives reading but never get beyond reading the words on the page, they don't understand that the words are merely stepping stones placed across a fast-flowing river, and the reason they're there is so that we can reach the farther shore, it's the other side that matters.” . Yes, it's the other side that matters, and you went beyond (like you always do with your camera); your words have caught the soul of this work of mines.

 

My dear friends thank you for the time spent commenting my works, ciao,

Giuseppe.

compliments, ciao, Giuseppe

a great idea and a good shot! There's a surrealistic idea behind that I like very much! Ciao, Giuseppe (PS - to get this shot i would have tried to lower the pov in order to get the lamp directly over the man's with cap head)

I like this one very much. What makes this one a very interesting shot is - imho - the inter-play between the trees on the right and two figures on the left (and the traces on the snow too), compliments, ciao, Giuseppe

of the same shot, with lighter lower part, ciao, Giuseppe

Svetlana, Drew, Mehmet, thanks for your appreciation. this comes from photographers I value so much!. Luca, your analysis is very interesting. I produced two versions of this shot, and in the 2nd version the lower part is a bit lighter - see attached file). I can add some words about the shooting "moment": I shot this one just moments after I had seen the "Carabinieri" walking up and down (they were watching people who had assembled there to visit the Chamber of deputies. They stopped for some moments and there I raised the camera and quickly shot twice (see George's comment) using two different apertures and same time. Light in Rome - as Donna pointed out - is beautiful and quite a nightmare when it comes to shot very contrasted scenes like this one. in a more general way we could say that Rome is a city of contrasts (but this is quite true about all the big cities, isn't it?). Pierre, I thank you for pointing out the strong classical atmosphere of this photo, I agree with you (I love Italian movies of the 50's and this is sometimes reflected by my works). Elle your words made me happy. this photo is not only about light but also about geometry (rhythm of light and lines).

Thanks again my friend, ciao,

Giuseppe

Wieslaw, compliments, ciao, Giuseppe

inside such enormous empty spaces (like our life is) our souls feel frightened, and we love to be led inside the mystery by the hand of a good photographer, compliments, ciao, Giuseppe

:-) Ciao, Giuseppe

a great treatment, and pov too, ciao, Giuseppe

you have a special eye for portraits (i like very much your older production too), ciao, Giuseppe

che toni, ciao, Giuseppe

its atmosphere, although - imho - a bit more contrast would have been nice, ciao, Giuseppe

eyebrows, and us applaud this work of art and the eye behind the camera, ciao, Giuseppe

and forgotten images too, they come back to us in the most unexpected moments, and everything gets a new meaning thanks to the photographer eye, ciao, Giuseppe

his expression is unforgettable, ciao, Giuseppe

let us know how the training progresses, ciao, Giuseppe
