Striving for the unbearable Beauty
Ho sempre saputo che ti passa davanti agli occhi tutta la vita nell'istante prima di morire. Prima di tutto, quell'istante non è affatto un istante: si allunga, per sempre, come un oceano di tempo. Per me, fu... lo starmene sdraiato al campeggio dei boy scout a guardare le stelle cadenti; le foglie gialle, degli aceri che fiancheggiavano la nostra strada; le mani di mia nonna, e come la sua pelle sembrava di carta. E la prima volta che da mio cugino Tony vidi la sua nuovissima Firebird. E Janie, e Janie... e Carolyn. Potrei essere piuttosto incazzato per quello che mi è successo, ma è difficile restare arrabbiati quando c'è tanta bellezza nel mondo. A volte è come se la vedessi tutta insieme, ed è troppa. Il cuore mi si riempie come un palloncino che sta per scoppiare. .... E dopo scorre attraverso me come pioggia, e io non posso provare altro che gratitudine, per ogni singolo momento della mia stupida, piccola, vita. Non avete la minima idea di cosa sto parlando, ne sono sicuro, ma non preoccupatevi: un giorno l'avrete. - Lester Burnham - dal film "American Beauty"
Nella foto: una nuvola infinita di moscerini danzano nella luce dorata del tramonto, fra le Dolomiti di San Martino, trasformandosi in frammenti di luce a loro volta. Foto di archivio, estate 2016.

In the serene woodlands of Hacienda Montecristo, near the culturally rich Santa Rosa de Copán, I captured a tender moment between an Azure-crowned Hummingbird, Saucerottia cyanocephala, and her fledgling. This photograph embodies the essence of a mother's care, set against a backdrop where the verdure of Honduras unfolds in harmony with the simplicity of these birds' existence. The adult's vibrant azure crown, a stark contrast to the juvenile's developing plumes, speaks volumes of the life stages that I, as a photographer, am privileged to witness.
Utilizing a shallow depth of field, I sought to crystallize the duo's interaction while allowing the lush environment to softly blur into bokeh, highlighting the birds as the focal point. The diffused lighting of the canopy gently illuminated the iridescence of the mother's feathers, while the careful composition preserved the integrity of their natural behavior. This image is not just a visual record; it is a story of survival and continuity in the avian world, a narrative I strive to share through my lens. ©2022 Adam Rainoff

Dove finisce l’arcobaleno, nella tua anima o all’orizzonte?

Striving for that perfect black and white flower shot, whatever that might be.
I am not a "flower photographer", but I do enjoy the challenge of getting a good flower shot. And while I don’t always know what kind of flower I am shooting, on a good day, I can usually tell a rose from a daisy.

Here hills and vales, the woodland and the plain Here earth and water seem to strive again, Not chaos-like together crushed and bruised, But, as the world, harmoniously confused: Where order in variety we see, And where, though all things differ, all agree ~ Alexander Pope

Often I feel like a lot of SL photos aim to look as real as possible... I strive for that as well.

Still driving and striving as fast as he can
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up
And long ago somebody left with the cup
But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.

I still remember this tree years later, and it took me much longer to process this shot than I'd expected. It's not perfect, but it conveys the message I felt well when I first saw this guy striving for life in old age and after weathering many storms. It's on an exposed ridgeline in Patagonia, and as anyone who's been there during a storm knows... this guy has seen some insane conditions and lived through it all.
Tra due individui, l'armonia non è mai scontata, deve essere continuamente conquistata.
