Description

I value this image very important in my production, I think it's possibly the best photo I ever took. It is a snapshot, again, taken last April. I was driving home, and suddenly saw this image. It was like if one of the gates of perception suddenly opened to me and I had to stop the car and photograph. I am sorry that I had to resize the picture, else it would have been too large for most, at the original size one could better "get lost into" the image in the mirror and "live" better the two dimensions. I find still incredible how this image could fit both the day and night, the present and the past, and the feeling of time. I did absolutely no postwork on it, not even a gamma adjustment, not even a crop, I left it as it went out of the camera. I hope you can like this image. It is one of the very few images I made, that whenever I get back to see it, give me the same shiver I got when I first took it. If somebody wants, I can upload the full size version tomorrow. The picture was taken with my small Olympus C200 Zoom, at Scipione Ponte, April 2003. And thanks for viewing :-)

I am impressed. again. And more than usual :) this is really an art picture.. Compliments. After the incredible insights you've written me about photography and how it can work, I am not surprised to see something like this masterpiece here. Fartesoro di quanto hai scritto.. ti rispondo appena a casa.. ho stampato la mail.. e mi hai davvero toccato. Grazie :)Avere la tua guida sarmagnifico.Ma...per postare un mio ritratto ci metterancora un po'.Le immagini che hai visto sul mio sito sono per gli altri perchci lavorino. Quando metteruna mia foto nella mia gallery in Rendo, sarperchvolevo esprimere un concetto fin dal momento dello scatto, e non un semplice momento vitale, nuna "posa".E' incredibile il livello di analisi che possied, mi ha sconvolto. Lo adoro ed ammiro chiunque ne abbia facoltOra so dove dirigermi con le foto, e so che tu sarai pidi una semplice ispirazione, grazie :)
