Raise funds for photographer Joao Silva

Joao Silva

You probably already know that Joao Silva, the New York Times photographer, recently lost both legs after stepping on a landmine in Afghanistan. Joao’s friends have set up a Website to sell prints and raise funds:  http://joaosilva.photoshelter.com/. Photographs are wonderful and I am sure Joao will continue to press the shutter for all his life. [...]

More on Social Networking

Some days ago Joerg Colberg published an interesting article on Social Networking. I emailed him my January piece on the subject and he posted it back on his blog. Looks like we share a general common vision on the subject.

Blogging with a Target: is there a Tribe for Fine Art Photographers?

Thumbnail image for Blogging with a Target: is there a Tribe for Fine Art Photographers?

Over the past few months I’ve used the blog mainly for shameless self promotion/communication of what was happening to me and less for talking about photography or for commenting what was going on on the photoblogosphere. I apologize for being so selfish but time has been limited and, as I wrote (in Italian) here, blogging [...]

Three: Ed Kashi

Thumbnail image for Three: Ed Kashi

Ed Kashi is an important photographer with a great range of interesting and multi-faced projects. I invite you to have a look to the beautiful multimedia presentation of “Three”. Lot of shots, sometimes looking not completely coherent, that acquire, in the multimedia dimension, strength and significance. I like the concepts behind these tryptics: short stories, [...]

9th Floor – Jessica Dimmock

Thumbnail image for 9th Floor – Jessica Dimmock

Jessica Dimmock 9th Floor is one of the social photography projects I like the most. I saw it first time live in Milan back in 2007 (a good report in italian is available here). It is shocking document and now it is featured in MediaStorm. Worth a look. The Rationale is below: In 2004, anywhere [...]

Yann Arthus-Bertrand @ TED

I invite all of you to have a look to the nice presentation Yann Arthus-Bertand gave on TED last february (became available on June). It is about his great HOME project where he combines the extraordinary arial pictures (I saw them the first time in Norway in 2000 and was really fascinated) with HD video. [...]

Fotoritocco e Fine Art

Thumbnail image for Fotoritocco e Fine Art

Lo spunto di questa riflessione viene dalla vicenda che brevemente vi racconto. Edgar Martins, un fotografo portoghese, vincitore, lo scorso anno della prima edizione del New York Photo Awards, viene inviato dal New York Times per un servizio che documenti l’America incompiuta, tutte quelle costruzioni non ultimate a causa della crisi economica. Edgar è un [...]

Le spettacolari immagini di Saturno

Imperdibile. The Big Picture pubblica delle bellissime immagini di Saturno scattate dalla sonda Cassini. La bellezza formale e astratta delle fotografie è davvero soprendente.

Lavazza e Annie

Thumbnail image for Lavazza e Annie

Sono rimasto senza parole quando, poco fa, ho visto questa fotografia del nuovo calendario Lavazza scattato nientemeno che da Annie Leibovitz. Brutto tutto. Colori sovrassaturi, espressione della modella, Romolo e Remo sotto la Lupa al Colosseo…! Il Festival del brutto. Avevo visto le altre fotografie, anche loro nulla di che. Mi domando quanto ci sia [...]

Sulla creatività

Thumbnail image for Sulla creatività

Ultimamente mi sono imbattuto in una “perla”: l’intervento, all’AIGA, di Malcom Gladwell sulla storia dei Fleetwood Mac. Lo so, sembra ironico e poco attinente ad un blog fotografico. E infatti, per certi versi, anche il modo presentare di Gladwell fa sorridere. Malcom è un cronista del Washington Post nonchè autore di libri arguti. La sua [...]
