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.

… almost rescued the Roman world from the depredations of Commodus’s megalomania.

 

Unfortunately, state finances proved to be in an even worse state than expected by his co-conspirators.

 

Failed negotiations with the Pretorian Guard about the donative they were promised for support lead to guards murdering him and putting the Purple for auction !

 

This may or may not be him actually. There’s still a lot of scholarly argument going on over his representation.

Sun, Beaches, Sea, Summer, but also ... Friendship, Fun, Loneliness, Nostalgia and ... a great desire to live with the great desire to return to the normal life of always before the pandemic (to always keep in mind that, even if the worse than the Covid-19 pandemic, it now seems to be behind us, the crisis is certainly not to be considered over just because mortality has reduced): I present here, on Flickr, a collection of exhibitions made in this hot summer, with traceable photographs, almost entirely, in the "beach photography" genre. The photographs were all taken in July-August 2022, on the beaches of the east coast of Sicily, and of the Ionian coast of Calabria.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sole, Spiagge, Mare, Estate, ma anche ...Amicizia, Divertimento, Solitudine, Nostalgia e… tanta voglia di vivere col grande desiderio di ritornare alla vita normale di sempre ante-pandemia (da tenere sempre a mente che, anche se il peggio della pandemia da Covid-19, sembra ormai alle spalle, la crisi non è certo da considerarsi terminata solo perché la mortalità si è ridotta): presento qui, su Flickr, una raccolta di esposizioni realizzate in questa calda estate, con fotografie riconducibili, per la quasi totalità, al genere “beach photography”. Le fotografie sono state tutte realizzate nel mese di Luglio-Agosto 2022, sulle spiagge della costa orientale della Sicilia, e della costa ionica della Calabria.

Burnt and broken...

The ever changing dimensions of life is evident in almost every object in this world. Days move on and on and yet the sun and the moon are not tired of playing hide and seek. Days transform themselves in night or night gain power on day , or if the day defeats the darkness of night or the night surrenders before the sunrise. Same is the case with trees, they shed their leaves when dejected by their fate and cast new leaves in search of a prosperous future. Since eons they have been playing to solve the arcane truths of universe. Its an enigmatic life with a lot of dimensions and kindred relationships. Someone has rightly said “The charm of history and its enigmatic lesson consist in the fact that, from age to age, nothing changes and yet everything is completely different.”

………………………………………………………………………

A proverb that comes from an ancient Latin proverb says “semel in anno licet insanire”, or translated “once a year it is permissible to go mad”…! The carnival celebration has ancient origins, dating back to the period of pagan religion, from the Saturnalia of ancient Rome and also from the Dionysian festivals of the classical period of ancient Greece, and the disguise itself dates back to the times of Apuleius and the Egyptian goddess Isis, during which there were numerous masked groups, a custom that was imported into the Roman Empire. I present here a series of photographs, taken during the carnival in Taormina (taken on Sunday and Tuesday), with posed or caught portraits, people belonging to masked groups combined with the allegorical floats, or people masked on their own, all having in common the desire, the wish to have fun, or rather, as the ancient Latin saying goes, with the desire all to … “go mad”, at least… (once a year…!).

.……………………………

Un proverbio che deriva da un antico motto in lingua latina recita “semel in anno licet insanire”, ovvero tradotto “una volta l’anno è lecito impazzire“…! La festa del carnevale ha origini antiche, risale al periodo della religione pagana, dai Saturnali della Roma antica ed anche dalle feste dionisiache del periodo classico dell’antica Grecia, e lo stesso travestimento risale ai tempi di Apuleio e della dea egizia Iside, durante la quale erano presenti numerosi gruppi mascherati, usanza questa che venne importata nell’Impero Romano. Presento qui una serie di fotografie, realizzate durante il carnevale a Taormina (realizzate la domenica ed il martedì), con ritratti posati o colti al volo, persone appartenenti a gruppi mascherati abbinati ai carri allegorici, oppure persone mascherate per proprio conto, aventi tutti in comune la voglia, il desiderio di divertirsi, anzi, come recita l’antico detto latino, col desiderio tutti di …“impazzire”, almeno…(una volta l’anno…!).

A patch of 4m x 4m that i sowed in white mustard on May 31st. We are just 6 weeks later now and the plants are already well over 1m in height and in flower and the bees are working the patch of yellow despite the peak clover and bramble that are in full nectar flow right now.

 

mustard coloured pollen loads on clear view here
