West-German postcard by Kolibri-Verlag, no. 651. Photo: Lux-Schorchtfilm. Silvana Mangano in Anna (Alberto Lattuada, 1951) .
Beautiful Italian film star Silvana Mangano (1930-1989) will be remembered most for the sexy rice picker in Riso Amaro/Bitter Rice (1949), and for Tadzio's elegant mother in Morte a Venezia/Death in Venice (1971).
Silvana Mangano was born in Rome in 1930 to an Italian father, a Sicilian train conductor, and an English mother. Her brother was sound technician Roy Mangano and her sisters are one-time actresses Patrizia Mangano and Natascia Mangano. Silvana grew up in poverty caused by the Second World War. Trained for seven years as a dancer by Zhia Ruskaya, she was supporting herself as a model. At 16, she won the Miss Rome beauty contest in 1946 and got a small role in the opera adaptation L'Elisir d'amore/Elixir of Love (Mario Costa, 1948) with Tito Gobbi. She was also nominated for the Miss Italia contest in 1947, which Lucia Bosé won. Mangano's earliest connection with filmmaking occurred through her romantic relationship with actor Marcello Mastroianni. Mangano started to play small roles in films like Il delitto di Giovanni Episcopo/Flesh Will Surrender (Alberto Lattuada, 1947), Gli uomini sono nemici/Crossroads of Passion (1948, Ettore Giannini) with French diva Viviane Romance, and Black Magic (Gregory Ratoff, 1949) starring Orson Welles. She had her breakthrough with the neo-realistic crime story Riso amaro/Bitter Rice (Giuseppe De Santis, 1949), situated in the rice fields along the Po river in Northern Italy. Mangano played the voluptuous rice picker Silvana, who falls for the criminal Walter (Vittorio Gassman) and his presumed wealth. The thousands of female rice workers, up to their ankles in the water, breaking their backs in the burning sun to earn a few bucks, make an impressive decor. To the standards of 1949s Roman Catholic Italy Mangano's performance in hotpants was shocking. This earned Riso Amaro a lot of publicity and earned Mangano a contract with the Lux company.
Though Silvana Mangano never scaled the heights of her competitors Sophia Loren and Gina Lollobrigida, she was a popular European film star in the 1950s and 1960s. Lux produced her subsequent films such as Anna (Alberto Lattuada, 1951) with Raf Vallone, and Ulisse/Ulysses (Mario Camerini, 1954), an adaptation of Homer's second epic featuring Kirk Douglas. Mangano played both Ulysses' faithful wife Penelope and the pig-fancying enchantress Circe. In 1949, she had married producer Dino De Laurentiis who controlled her career and launched her as the leading lady of international co-productions such as Mambo (Robert Rossen, 1954) with Michael Rennie, This Angry Age/Le barrage sur le Pacifique (René Clément, 1958) with Anthony Perkins, and 5 Branded Woman/Jovanka e le altre (Martin Ritt, 1960) with Jeanne Moreau. n 1967, Silvana Mangano starred in the anthology film Le streghe/The Witches (1967). The five episodes were directed by Mauro Bolognini, Vittorio De Sica, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Franco Rossi and Luchino Visconti. Visconti shot the quite cynical and biographical episode La strega bruciata viva/The Witch Burned Alive, and he later cast her again as Tadzio's (Björn Andrésen) aristocratic mother in Morte a Venezia/Death in Venice (Luchino Visconti, 1971), modeled on Visconti's own mother. She also played the cunning Cosima von Bülow in Ludwig (Luchino Visconti, 1972), and the hysterical marchesa Brumonti in Gruppo di famiglia in un interno/Conversation Piece (Luchino Visconti, 1974) opposite Burt Lancaster. Mangano also performed in three films by Pasolini: as Jocaste in Edipo re/Oedipus Rex (Pier Paolo Pasolini, 1967), an updated version of the Greek tragedy by Sophocles; as Lucia, the mother in Teorema/Theorem (Pier Paolo Pasolini, 1968) with Terence Stamp, and as the Holy Virgin - a small, uncredited role - in Il Decameron/The Decameron (Pier Paolo Pasolini, 1971).
In the 1980s, Silvana Mangano's life took a bad turn. In 1981 her son, Federico De Laurentiis was killed in an Alaskan air crash. In 1983 she separated from Dino De Laurentiis, though they did not divorce. She dedicated her time to making tapestries, alternating her domicile between Madrid and Paris. She did not perform in films anymore, except for Dune (David Lynch, 1984) and Oci ciornie/Dark Eyes (Nikita Mikhalkov, 1987), in which she played Romano's (Marcello Mastroianni) wife. Mangano began divorce proceedings in 1988. Silvana Mangano, who had always been a strong smoker, died of lung cancer in 1989, in a hospital in Madrid. She was only 59. Silvana Mangano had four children with Dino De Laurentiis: Veronica, Raffaella, Francesca, and the deceased Federico. Veronica's daughter Giada De Laurentiis is the host of Everyday Italian and Giada at Home on the Food Network. Raffaella coproduced with her father on Mangano's penultimate film, Dune (1984). Following her death, she was interred at Pawling Cemetery in Pawling, Dutchess County, New York.

Formentera como Antidepresivo.
Es muy difícil para cualquier persona, mostrarse como es, y tan difícil para nosotros enseñarle como nos sentimos.
Hay lugar, por muy pequeños que sea, que te transmiten una paz que nadie puede darte, y aprendes que el silencio puede llegar a ser el ruido más fuerte.
La vida no debería ser un viaje hacia la tumba, con la intención de llegar a salvo con un cuerpo bonito, y bien conservado, más bien deberías llegar derrapando entre una nube de humo, y desgastado y destrozado, y proclamar en voz alta, " Uf; ¡Vaya viajecito!"

Dans les allées animées du marché médiéval de Pontivy, un personnage énigmatique attire tous les regards.
Vêtu d'un pourpoint de cuir noir et d'une chemise de lin rougeâtre, il arbore une barbe fournie et des lunettes qui semblent venir d'un autre temps.
Sur sa tête, un chapeau haut-de-forme orné de symboles mystiques et de rouages brillants, témoignant de ses connaissances en mécaniques obscures et en potions magiques.
Derrière lui, des étagères croulent sous le poids de fioles et de bocaux contenant des élixirs aux couleurs chatoyantes.
Chaque flacon renferme un secret, une promesse de guérison, de force ou de sagesse.
Les villageois chuchotent à son passage, certains le craignant, d'autres le vénérant, mais tous savent que ses mixtures peuvent changer le cours d'une vie.
Avec un sourire énigmatique, il accueille les curieux et les désespérés, leur offrant des remèdes contre les maux du corps et de l'âme.
« Approchez, braves gens, approchez ! » dit-il d'une voix grave et envoûtante.
« Ici se trouvent les secrets des anciens, les potions des dieux et les remèdes des rois ! ».
This is an earthen-ware water container. Atop it is the steel container using which water is drawn out of the main container. Keeps water cool in summers. Found mostly in Indian rural areas.
I found this interesting concept in a photography magazine that my wife bought me for Christmas.
The concept is about changing the shape of any bokeh.
It never occurred to me that this could be done so easily.
These examples are just one shot each.
No Photoshoping, just cropping and very basic edits.
Here is how I set it up following the example in the magazine.
'The ultimate Photography Masterclass vol 17'
My Camera on tripod, manual mode 50mm at f/1.4, 1/40th sec, 64 ISO (or slight variations of these settings)
Then .5 m in front of that is my bottle
Then 1 metre in front of the bottle are my Christmas lights.
The focus is on the bottle and the bokeh has the usual appearance at this aperture . i.e beautiful round orbs of out of focus lights.
Then as per instructions I, (my wife) had cut out a circle of thin black card to the Diameter of my lens (77mm)
I , (my wife) cut out a heart shape in the centre of the card.(make the shape about 1/3 to 1/4 the width of the lens.
I then placed this card on the front of my lens. It was a nice fit so I did not have to tape it to the lens.
This was set up in dark room during the day.
Turn on Christmas lights and snap away.
My Christmas lights are are a long strand of small round globes that are continuously changing colour.
The rest of the lights are laying on the floor covered up by a bath mat.
Super yacht Elixir, a 180 ft vessel built in 2016, near Lantern Point in Comino, Malta on October 10th, 2018.
Feels like a winters day out there here in not so sunny Kent and a job needs doing. There is nothing better then a steaming bowl of beautifully prepared noodles after a super long walk or cycle. For a few months now I have been perfecting a sauce based on hot Singapore Noodles but instant as a stir through mix. Mk VIII and the job is done. Hot, very hot, sour, sweet, garlicky and gingery with a strong scent of curry spices and fish sauce. With rice vermicelli noodles needing a minuet or so soaking in boiling water this sauce is than stirred through with chopped fresh chillies and coriander, dried onions and crushed peanuts, just awesome!
Mix together
Fish Sauce
Toasted Sesame Oil
Light Soya Sauce
Hot Sweet Chilli sauce
Brown Sugar
Shoahsing Rice Wine
Mirin
8 Finley chopped hot red chillies
8 grated garlic cloves
Grated large knob of fresh ginger
Table spoon of Turmeric
Two table spoons of your favourite curry powder
Juice of one lime
1/2 teaspoon of five spice powder
Teaspoon of crushed dry chilli
Hand full of finely chopped fresh coriander
Mix together and mature in the fridge in an air tight container
If wanted, in a wok stirfry an onion, red pepper and some small shrimp, add the sauce and stir into the noodles and dress with home dried onions, crushed peanuts, chopped chilli and coriander.
Once zoomed up lasts a week and improves in the fridge with age - Superb.
I did this shot on a walk through my hometown last July.

during a walk today, on one of this year`s finest spring days so far, I enjoyed the sun and realized once more again how periods of life are repeating. Nature is awakening: The birds are back and singing again, trees are bursting out, flowers are fragrant, a lot people love the outdoors...
Reflecting about this I saw this scene and thought that it fits very well: from left to the right grewing up trees and the elixir of life, water, without its existence no life could be possible on earth.
my experimentation with H2O continues, more comin up ( apologies if it gets(already has got ) too monotonous) :)
#420 as of july 6th! :)
Para la composición creativa de la fotografía se busco hacer una representación de sombras multicolores que se reflejan en la parte trasera de un vaso. Además, se utilizaron páginas de colores y con la ayuda del flash de un celular se buscó brindar una mejor iluminación.
La fotografía fue tomada verticalmente, junto a un balance de blancos "Nublado", velocidades de 1/4 seg y una apertura f/5.6. Por otra parte, se utilizó un ISO 100 y el flash integrado de la camára.
