I used to live outside the city in the country in Mexico and I your photos remind me of the feelings when I see them..of what I used to live as a child..Congratulations. I admire you work Floriana.

In a small village next to the highway from Guadalajara to Sayula in

Mexico, this little girl helps her father in a Prickle Pear Stand. In

this photo she's bringing a heavy aluminum container for the skins and

thorns of the prickle pear.

Info on this person coming soon. C&C Welcome

Thanks for the comment..Really appreciate it.

A talented visually impaired musician on one of the streets of San

Miguel de Allende. In Mexico. I was hoping for him to finish playing

to ask for his name...but he continued going on...

C & C welcome. I'll re-upload another color version later since I

still haven't figured out how to make this photograph appear as in my

calibrated monitor. For me this photo uploaded looks greenish, and it

was more towards the Warmer tones.

C&C Welcome

La ultima " The last" . In villages in Mexico, is common in the local chuch to Play the bell 3 times before Mass. 1st, 30 min before , then 15 min before, then the "last" 5 min before. You can't see pull-rope for the bell in this photo though. I took it just after he played "La ultima". He plays the bell in " Nextipac" in this church ever since I can remember.

Comments welcome.

I appreciate the comments

There was something very magical about this alley in Guanajuato. Maybe

it was the peacefulness of it. Or the overall soft lighting on it. But

I like it.

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 :).

 

Saad: Thanks for the kind comments.

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.

Thanks a lot for every single comment. I'll post more very soon...

Me agrada mucho tu fotorafia, La composicion funciona y los colores calidos le dan un excelente tono. Me agrada el simbolismo que le pusiste a las fotos, da varias interpretaciones. La mia es que la pobreza y la musica en mexico esta muy conectada con la religion. Lo unico que podrias mejorar (algo muy pequeno) seria los tonos de altas luces en la playera, y en las teclas del piano, es un poco distractivo. Pero aun asi la fotografia funciona muy bien. Estupenda foto. Saludos.

 

 

 

The kind of place where you'd love to be when the city has become too noisy. I love the mood and feel of this photograph. Regards!

This is an exquisite work of photography. Very well framed, basically I can see 4 layers of deep, plus the protagonist. You have a beautiful eye for B&W photography, Too bad I can't rate you yet, the system doesn't allow me. Wonderful use of saturation/hues/contrast. Congratulations.

I appreciate very much your comments...thank you!

A grandmother of someone....She's 78. Like any good grandmother she

has very good stories to tell. It was taken with natural light ,

indoors, besides a large window.

Any C&C welcome. She's a very beautiful person I found on the streets

of Quiroga, Michoacan, in Mexico. She was serene and even though I

could feel some sadness in her, she was very sweet for the little I

could speak to her.

These are the kind of pictures i'd like to hang in my studio. I think it's brilliant thanks to its simplicity. I like the contrast. I also I've read your bio and watched your pictures. I'm a fan already. Thanks for the comments. Cheers!

Thank you so much for you comments. I'll take in consideration about what you say Giuseppe . I say your bio and your work, and well, your work is admirable. Very worth of all of your life experience. Thanks for sharing your comments and insight to me, and to the world.

 

About David, well Thanks for your comment as well! You have just about everything and I'm loving your photos.I read what you say in your bio and well you and I are very much thinking the same way, you say you comment every photo you rate. And that's wonderful, I've started doing the same too. Maybe not commenting when the picture is great, if they don't wish to, but it's nice to receive a a comment to know why they are qualifying me unusually low, as long as they are objective. It's a shame that you thought I was more like complaining about the rating system. It was more like an observation. Thanks for explaining to me why people don't comment. Now I know, still, I think if someone rate unusually very low I'd like them to comment why, and only in that case. It's about manners and I'm sure you agree too. Next pictures will be better thanks to your comment.

 

Impressive portfolio David, I have to say again. All the best!
