"Using an artful tool does not make one a dry technician. It seems to me that people that are anxious about our technical advancement, confuse means and ends. Naturally a person that only works for material gain will not harvest something that is worth living for. But the machine is not an end in itself. The airplane is not an end. It is a tool. Just like the plough.
When we think that the machine will harm man, then it is perhaps because we are not yet capable of judging the rapid changes it has brought about. We hardly feel at home in this landscape of mines and power stations. We have just moved into this new home that we have not even finished yet. Everything around us has changed so fast — personal relations, working conditions, habits. Even our state of mind is in turmoil.
We are all youthful barbarians, and only our new toys bring us excitement. That has been the sole purpose of our flights. This one flies higher, that one faster. But now we will make ourselves at home. We will forget the machine, the tool. It is no longer complex; it does what it is supposed to do, unnoticed.
And through this tool we will find again the old nature, the nature of the gardener, the navigator, the poet."
- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Wind, Sand, and Stars, 1939.
Framing of a mysterious gate decorated with geometric patterns.
Gates can mean different things depending on how you look at them.
A gate can represent a threshold or a boundary between two states of being or two different worlds.
Beyond architectural aspect; doors, gates, arches all represent transitioning from one place to another.
A deviation of Sylvie Fleury's original "Tableau n°1" (Itself a deviation of Mondrian's work)
I chose this zoom effect to make it look like the fur added by Fleury comes off, leaving the original background as flat as in Mondrian's original expression.

A scene to be found at the exit of a garden where I used to take my dog for a walk. It always came across to me as the perfect representation of the oh so many pimps in our society, the so many "ticks" as Japanese call them.

For an Impressionist to paint from nature is not to paint the subject, but to realize sensations.
Paul Cezanne
Impressionism means taking inspiration directly from nature, trusting your senses rather than what you think you know.
Michael McClure
Impressionism;
it is the birth of Light in painting.
Robert Delaunay

a staircase that never ends. up or down? does it matter? time bends, movement blurs. only the void remains.
Scenic framing of a lush green field bathed in the warm light of a sunrise.
At the end of a path the central sunlight source creates a strong silhouette effect on the surrounding trees and foliage, emphasizing the contrast between light and shadow.
The foreground is dominated by low-lying green plants and young crops leading towards the brighter horizon.
Hi guys! Long time no speak. Since my last upload I ventured off around the world solo for three and a half weeks! It's something I've always wanted to do but secretly gave me a whole lot of anxiety. But, I'm glad I took the leap because I had the time of my life and I feel more confident with the idea of travelling alone! In saying that, I had two incredible families waiting for me on the other side. One in Italy (my actual Italian family) and one in New York (more about them soon).
In Italy, I reunited with Martina and got to meet the rest of her amazing family. They took me everywhere and we made so many incredible memories together. I cannot wait to write up a series of blog posts about it. But for now, I'll just share some of the highlights on here. This was taken in a small park area Martina and I walked her dogs to nearly every day. She was willing to stand in amongst the trees for this shot, trying out different poses for me. She ended up being a total natural and got into modelling for me on quite a few occasions. I'm hoping we'll be reunited again very soon (hopefully in Aus)! More to come soon! :)
El viento meció la estrella y un sutil aliento recorrió el vuelo de su mirada. A cada instante, la belleza se hizo señora del sentimiento y atrás quedó la sabiduría, las querencias, las ambiciones. Así, delicado y efímero, el misterio de la existencia.
