Pokemon Platine On Line

What I photographed?

I photographed Lake Endine, between Bergamo and Lovere, after years of not coming back in those places. I had commissioned the work shortly before the August and immediately I started to develop mental pictures and shots from memory of that landscape. Reappear on the surface reeds along the banks, the west side in the shade in the afternoon, its atmosphere of quiet waters. But once in place everything is mixed: the transformations that have occurred over the years has crept imprecision instabile dei ricordi.

Cosa è successo? Credo si sia attivato uno sguardo strabico , rivolto al presente e, nello stesso tempo, al passato: uno sguardo profondo. Ad ogni inquadratura costruita nel presente si è sovrapposta l'immagine del lago che avevo accumulato negli anni, come un errore di parallasse con cui fare i conti ad ogni passo. E mentre scattavo mi sono domandato quale lago stavo fotografando: quello reale di oggi (verità oggettiva) o quello immateriale che emergeva dal ricordo (verità emotiva)?

Nikon Binoculars For Astronomy

Photography Society of Photographers and memory

Mi domando cosa succede al nostro this when we go back with the memory of the past, where it is the ego of the here and now remember when and how it looks once emerged from the memory. In short, it undergoes transformations?

Similarly, as a photographer, I wonder where I will end our current in the moment of capture, and which undergoes changes with the creation of the image. What remains in us, in our minds, our bodies, of the photographic act?

Can I Drink Tea When I Fast?



I like to think that photographers are a bit 'like boats in the seas around, perhaps with similar routes, or not. Mariners that occasionally appear in some port to exchange travel stories to tell or show merchandise visit lands and spices collected in their travels. A traveling store. And as any sailor also the photographer is always in search of bulletins navigation, indicators of tracks or, more simply, opportunities to exchange ideas with others in their profession on their knowledge, on their fantasies.

This post is nothing more than a first message in a bottle given to the network, hoping to be picked up by other photographers, other curious sailors.
