Street shot from Glasgow, Scotland.

Who can resist a Ferrari huh? Especially one in Rosso Corsa!
I think the Ferrari 458 was the prettiest Ferrari since the Testarossa in the 1980s but this Ferrari 488 is quite a looker too!
Annoyingly I focused on the swage line which tricked my camera into focusing on the road reflections, thus making the car slightly out of focus. I should have focused on the wheels! Oh well, an imperfect shot of the model after the really pretty 458 so it's imperfect all 'round - and it is parked on double yellow lines so imperfection all around. I took this in a hurry for my train and didn't even bother to change my f-stop to have better focus range either. Still a beauty to look at though. Enjoy!

A tengu mask in Japanese culture symbolizes protection, wisdom, and a connection to mountain spirits, but also the duality of good and evil, arrogance and cunning. It is used in rituals, dances, and theaters such as Noh and Kabuki to represent the multifaceted nature of the mythological creature, the tengu, which is half human, half bird and often possesses a long red nose and wings.

Recorrer el camino de los mil toriis (senbon torii) era uno de los motivos de mi viaje. Pero recorrerlo a media noche fue una mezcla de misticismo y temor que infundían las mil sombras que se movían el el exterior del camino y la incertidumbre de poder salir alguna vez del laberinto.
Ya fuese fantasía o realidad, no me cabe la menor duda de que este lugar tiene una energía muy especial.
Sirince as a former Greek village. In the 19th century, the famous fig production, was one Greek town. Population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1923 with the departure of the results of the Greeks, were settled by emigrants from Kavalav to Somokol village. The famous wine-producing village. Say hi to me to Anatolia.
Greek writer Dido Sotiriyu, who was born in 1909 in Sirince Village of Izmir,
Say hi to me to Anatolia.
He describes the lands where he was born and grew up with the words "If there is a place called paradise on this earth, our Kirkinca (Sirince) must be a part of that paradise".
It is a sole settlement outside of Isreal where mountain Jews live together . There were 13 synagogues at the time. Now there are 2 of them.
You probably have come across this term. Wikipedia would give you a variety of definitions and explanations. From the perspective of the UK and, important to clarify, from my own point of view, I would say that what is being talked about is a struggle for power over public opinion and the control of the media. Political interest groups use "hot-button" issues (racism, gender roles, Brexit, immigration, the interpretation of colonial history etc.) as a technique to polarise society and distinguish between "us" and "them". This is not a debate in the interest of truth. It is all about bullying and pushing certain agendas through. In other words, culture wars have intentional consequences. When a public TV channel with critical news reporting is being "privatised" or when the public BBC is threatened with a redrafting of its charter, you know that very likely culture wars are involved.

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Colour re-edit of a shot from September 2023. Captured as a close-up demonstration for my street photography workshop where there was, fortuitously, a Scottish Independence rally going on in George Square. Always an opportunity to practice getting closer as cameras are pretty much everywhere. Enjoy!
Melbourne, famous for its coffee culture. You can find a barista on every street corner as well as in obscure laneways.

All the photos I present were taken in the town of Taormina;
I made photos related to "street photography";
I photographed people who, for the most part, I had never met before, performing their portraits, I thank them for their sympathy and availability;
The volcano Etna, in recent days has shown an intense eruptive activity, I photographed that spectacular eruptions from Taormina;
I tried to capture minimal photographic stories, collected walking down the street .. ... in search of fleeting moments ...
For some photographs I used a particular photographic technique at the time of shooting, which in addition to capturing the surrounding space, also "inserted" a temporal dimension, with photos characterized by being moved because the exposure times were deliberately lengthened, they are confused -focused-imprecise-undecided ... the Anglo-Saxon term that encloses this photographic genre with a single word is "blur", these images were thus created during the shooting phase, and not as an effect created subsequently, in retrospect, in the post-production.
………………………………………………………
Tutte le foto che presento sono state realizzate nella cittadina di Taormina;
ho realizzato foto riconducibili alla “street photography”;
ho fotografato persone che, per la maggior parte, non avevo incontrato prima, eseguendo dei loro ritratti, le ringrazio per la loro simpatia e disponibilità;
il vulcano Etna, nei giorni scorsi ha mostrato una intensa attività eruttiva, anche con intensi fenomeni chiamati "fontane di lava", emissioni a getto continuo perdurate intensamente per molti minuti, di altissime "fontane" di magma incandescente, molto spettacolari e non comuni, le fotografie dell'Etna sono state realizzate da Taormina;
ho provato a cogliere storie fotografiche minime, raccolte camminando per la strada ... alla ricerca di attimi fugaci s-fuggenti ...
Ho utilizzato per alcune fotografie una tecnica fotografica particolare al momento dello scatto, che oltre a catturare lo spazio circostante, ha "inserito" anche una dimensione temporale, con foto caratterizzate dall’essere mosse poiché volutamente sono stati allungati i tempi di esposizione, sono confuse-sfocate-imprecise-indecise...il termine anglosassone che racchiude con una sola parola questo genere fotografico è "blur", queste immagini sono state così realizzate in fase di scatto, e non come un effetto creato successivamente, a posteriori, in fase di post-produzione.
