    Yet Another Dawn

    December 30, 2012 /

    Yet Another Dawn Picture. There is a snobbish attitude among “real-photographer” (those tough guys that know all about cameras, lenses, optics, chemistry, physics, hardware, software, journalism, fine-art, landscape, portrait and, finally, Leica – and that barely shot a frame or two once at year) that photo like this one shouldn’t be taken at all. If you need an exposure of a dawn – I’ve read on a website whose link I’ve lost – you’d better go to Google image. I disagree for two reasons: first: shooting is a personal need. If somebody feels like exposing a dawn, a sunset or whatever banal… well that’s matter to him and is none…

    My first shot (with purpose)

    December 22, 2012 /

    This is the very first shot I did with the purpose of “taking a photo”. I didn’t actually know how to control the camera. So, instead of spend my time reading the manual, I decided to try the camera into the wild. Learn-by-doing has always been tough in the world of pictures since the cost (in both, time and money) of improving eye and technique was huge (countless wasted rolls, month spent waiting for the negatives to come back from the lab…) Going digital eases the process of understanding how to shoot properly, but admittedly with a huge price to pay: way too much “photographer” around the world…

    Has street-photography a limit?

    December 19, 2012 /

    Chasing the captain is a series of shots made in Venice (Italy) by Yanick Delafoge, a very good street-photographer whose website I visit almost daily. Chasing the captain is accompanied by an explanation of the circumstances that led to the shots and based on the assumption that the subject was, indeed, a Navy Officer. Thus, the whole mood of the comment was inspired by the suggestion coming from a soldier that crosses the calles’ of Venice. There is a small problem, though: the man portrayed in the photo is a chief petty officer – Capo di prima classe (you can guess it by the three-striped patch on is shoulder) and…
