The Images of Ron Diorio http://www.flickr.com/photos/av_producer/

I compiled these thumbnails of av_producer / Ron Diorio for a discussion topic at Flickr MFA. Here is my quote from that topic -- which will explain why I like Ron's work so much:

 

"For me you have certainly invoked "the very real." I see in your photostream the viewpoint of a documentarian and a sociologist. Perhaps I see this view because I lived in NYC for twenty years and I recognize in your images the familiar reminders of: the emotional grittiness of life lived as a human being in a large city; the looming, overpowering geometrical forms of structures; the sometimes sad, sometimes vibrant neon-lit colors. But most especially familiar is the stark quality of aloneness and separation that is present in a lot of your images. In a lot of ways -- with your dark colors and sometimes amorphous forms -- I feel that you have achieved a multi-faceted mapping of the sociolgical landscape of the human psyche. Although there is not a lot of joy invoked (understatement), (and I am usually a sucker for joyfullness), you have represented some other deeper truths of the human condition that have touched my heart. (And tears can cleanse and purify.)"

 

"Just wanted to give a hint (below) at what treasures one can find in your photostream. Please note that the individual thumbnails do not link anywhere except back to the multi-thumbnail image in my photostream. The link below will get you to av_producer's photostream:"
