Holy Week in Sicily:
"… There is no country in Sicily, in which
the passion of Christ does not revive
through a real
representation, in which people
lives or statuary groups do not
of the streets and squares the theater
of that great drama ... "
(Leonardo Sciascia).
“…Jesus said, “I love you as you are. And I love you too much to leave you as you are…”
(Chris Lyons).
The rites of Holy Week are present in Sicily with complexity of content and symbologies due to numerous influences, very present those due to the Spanish culture, dominating the island between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries; in the mystery of the death and resurrection of Christ, it is attended by a popular culture, referring to ancient pre-Byzantine rites that originated long before those of Mediterranean Christian culture.
These ancient rituals represent the most significant moments of the Passion of Jesus Christ, described in the Gospels, from his arrest by the Romans to the Resurrection and are part of the Holy Week celebrations, together with the normal religious functions.
The rites of Holy Week unite Sicily in a single collective rite, an appointment highly anticipated by many Sicilian and non-Sicilian photographers, due to the covid-19 pandemic, now also for this year 2021, as for last year, these celebrations- collective rites will not be able to take place, so I created a "photographic showcase" to be presented on Flickr, composed of images belonging to events that belong to the Sicilian Easter rites, posted in past years; of each reportage presented, I only took "a few cards" more or less significant, some photos were originally posted in black and white, and as such I left them, other photos were posted in color, the latter I re-edited in black and white to conform them to a single photographic language; some photos differ within this black and white language, for having been subjected to a very marked vignetting, I have left them anyway, belonging to reportage characterized by that type of post-production.

la Settimana Santa in Sicilia:
"…non c'è paese in Sicilia, in cui
la passione di Cristo non riviva
attraverso una vera e propria
rappresentazione, in cui persone
vive o gruppi statuari non facciano
delle strade e delle piazze il teatro
di quel grande dramma..."
(Leonardo Sciascia).
“…Gesù disse: “Ti amo per come sei. E ti amo troppo per lasciarti come sei…”
(Chris Lyons).
I riti della Settimana Santa presentano in Sicilia una complessità di contenuti e di simbologie dovute a numerosi influssi, molto presenti quelli dovuti alla cultura spagnola, dominante nell’isola tra il XVI ed il XVII secolo; nel mistero della morte e della resurrezione di Cristo, si assiste nella cultura popolare, a riferimenti risalenti da antichi riti pre-bizantini che originano da molto prima di quelli della cultura cristiana mediterranea.
Questi antichi riti rappresentano i momenti più significativi della Passione di Gesù Cristo, descritti nei Vangeli, dal suo arresto da parte dei romani alla Resurrezione e fanno parte, insieme alle normali funzioni religiose, delle celebrazioni della Settimana Santa.
I riti della Settimana Santa uniscono la Sicilia in un unico rito collettivo, appuntamento attesissimo da molti fotografi siciliani e non, a causa della pandemia da covid-19, oramai anche per quest'anno 2021, come per l'anno scorso, queste celebrazioni-riti collettivi, non potranno attuarsi, ho così realizzato una "vetrina fotografica" da presentare su Flickr, composta da immagini appartenenti ad eventi che appartengono ai riti Pasquali Siciliani, postati negli anni passati; di ogni reportage presentato, ho preso solo "qualche tessera fotografica" più o meno significativa, alcune foto furono postate originariamente in bianco e nero, e come tali le ho lasciate, altre foto furono postate a colori, queste ultime le ho rieditate in bianco e nero per uniformarle ad un linguaggio fotografico unico; alcune foto differiscono all'interno di questo linguaggio in bianco-nero, per essere state sottoposte ad una vignettatura molto marcata, le ho lasciate ugualmente, appartenenti a reportage caratterizzati da quel tipo di post-produzione.

Would like to take a moment and say "Thank You" to all of my flickr contacts and friends! To especially say, "So glad to have met you!"
Two years ago this April, I came to flickr not knowing my way around, without sophisticated digital equipment or any photography background. I have learned so much from all of you by observing your work and being blessed by your generous encouragement and constructive suggestions. I see things I never saw before, thanks to your work. I am trying things I never tried before (even with equipment limitations) thanks to your creative individual styles, talents, giftedness, and experimentations. To those of you who sometimes veer to weird and wacky with your wonderful sense of humor and wit, I am especially grateful to you for keeping it fun!

Bit of a surprise to see this in Market Square Stevenage. It brought back memorises of my childhood living in a Northamptonshire village with four working farms. It’s a great idea to have these animals in the town to give the children some fun plus make them understand where our meat comes from.

I think this little bird is so glad because he can wish my dearest Friend and Team Mate Elis a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, today on July 28th, 2018!! Love, hugs & kisses to you, dear Elis. xoxox
This hummingbird flew onto the branch of this tall Evergreen tree which stood just ourside the local garden area. He could easily spot where he wanted to go for nectar in the garden of flowers from this vantage point.
I am not sure if this was an Anna's Hummingbird, maybe a female or just a Rufus. But one can see a reddish breast here.
Glad I am so busy, so I don't have to think about this. MAD Magazine and I had a great run. 30 plus years! One of the best clients I ever had. All good things come to an end. What, me worry?

This is about an hour if sitting out in the cold, i'm just glad the result turned out good. I guess it wasnt a complete waste of time. This is effectively my first attempt at star trails. Clear skies come few and far between in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Best viewed if you hit the "L" key for large.
That is a big stone that sticks out of the ground near the rugby pitch on campus. Its got lichen and stuff growing on it so it makes an interesting foreground.

A perfect day to spend with my friends Giff Beaton and Bob Cammarata. Who could imagine temperatures in the seventies! I was very glad my "reliable Barred Owl" was in his regular spot and allowed us to take some pictures.
Day 84/2016: After coffee with a friend this afternoon, I caught the 700 bus home and was glad of this dry, wooden seat at Fishbourne bus shelter :-) (Hipstamatic post-processing)
I'd just arrived in our room at the hotel in Buenos Aires after a long day out and about, saw that beautiful light that was it! I changed quickly, set the camera on the tripod, timer and clicKs! I wanted to throw myself in bed and just relax for a little while, I'm glad I didn't, this turned out to be one of my favorite self portraits so far.
=> I'm regurlay changing photos on My Website.

1- I love my Family, I miss my late Dad every day, still learning to deal with his passing away.
I was born in Niterói/Rj, where most of my family lives. I've lived in 5 cities, Curitiba is the one I've been longer. I lived in Foz do Iguaçu from 10 to 18 years old, I grew up on a condominium by Paraná river, among children of Egineers who came from all over Brazil, to help make Itaipu Binacional happen. My father was one of them.
I had cool wonder years, living close to nature, friends with people with different accents and stories. Every year I had to say good-bye to a good friend though. I'm still in touch with some of them, it seems we all share the same feelings about those unforgettable times.
2- I value friendship, often put myself in other people shoes, I can be counted on. When I make a mistake I apologize, if I realize I'm wrong I admit it.
I like talking, I'm a good listener too. If a friend "screws up" in something important, I'm honest about my opinion, I don't pretend I agree just because we are friends. Friends often come to me when they are facing difficult times.
3- I love music, meaningful happenings in my life have their own soundtrack in my head. I usually have goose bumps when I listen to a song I love.
4- I love dancing, sometimes, while I'm working on the compter, I put a song I like, turn up the volume and dance for a couple of minutes, let my body move with the rhythm, it helps me relax and focus. Once in a while I feel like going to a party and Dance, it's been rare dancing songs I really like, when it happens I dance with my soul and body.
5- I'm a light sleeper, wake up easily, usually sleep with 3 pillows and a fan on, I connect with the sound of the fan or air conditioning. I love when I have the opportunity to fall asleep listening to the sound of waves or falls.
6- I love walking, I walk pretty fast, I like walking on beaches and parks. I'm always barefoot at home, I love it on the beach, grass, everywhere it feels good! I also love shoes, if I could I'd have hundreds!
7- I'm a peaceful person, I don't mess around with others, I don't like to be messed around. If I need to stand up for myself and the ones I care about, I certainly Do. If somebody tries to screw me, act in a mean way, tells lies about me, things like that, I'll keep the person away from me.
It usually takes a lot to make me furious, if it happens it can get tempestuous, one wouldn't want to be around, I rarely get to this point, I do my best not to.
I'm myself wherever I am.
I'm not a fan of people who one day act like a friend and the other like they don't know you, and lame attitudes alike. Not a fan of those who are always trying to take advantage of others either. I dislike when people are Rude.
8- Travelling is one of the things I love the most, there are so many places, countries I'd like to visit. I wish every 3/4 months I could travel to places I want to, that would be awesome!!
9- I dream a lot when I'm sleeping, sometimes it feels I go to other dimensions, many dreams are so vivid, real, some seem to last so long that they feel like a movie. From 6 years old till when I was around 11, every time I had a nightmare I would scream "POTENCY" and would wake up immediately, one day this word stopped working. Nowadays when a dream is horrible I manage to wake up somehow. I could write many lines just about dreams I've had all my life. Some of them are like a warning, when I dream about dirty water (and other particular things) bad news/things are on the way. I've had 2 serious premonition dreams, It's been a long time since the last one.
10- I love animals, we used to have cats and dogs all my life, after the last one died, we haven't had any but I miss them a lot. I can't understand why some people are cruel to animals.
11- I' m a romantic person, I believe in love. I like holding hands, kissing, cuddling, hugging. I have no problem in showing my affection to the ones I love/like. Words are important to me but Attitudes are More Important.
12- I love movies, going to the theaters, eating popcorn while watching a good movie. I often cry, have goose bumps when a beautiful scene touches me.
13- I read very fast, when I have time I read many books in a row. I love reading on the beach, under a sun umbrella.
14- I love good food, going to good restaurants, love it! I like spicy food, mixing salt with sweet, I like almost everything! including candies, cakes, merengues, chocolate, ice cream... I'm a little "ant"! I like cooking but I haven't had any time to cook.
15- "Looks can be Deceiving", what I value the most in people: Character, Ethic, sense of Friendship, Consideration, Honesty, Sincerity, Loyalty, Goodness. I cannot stand arrogance, envy. The more I grow older the more selective I've become about people in my personal life.
16- Violence in general, evil... these things scare me.
... I'm a slow typist, not good at typing! which means it took me a while to type this list!
I could go on, but I've passed the 16 things quite some time ago... :~)
I was glad to see this about 3/4" long Green lacewing on my office window a few days ago. It would have been nicer to see it on one of my rose bushes that had lots of aphids on the bud-containing stems, which I was able to hose off and they didn’t return, luckily.
Here is more information about these beneficial insects:

Yes I know there are some artifacts from the HDR compositing and of course flowers don't stay still - but the light was so fantastic, and the tones and shapes were so rich and fun here I just had to post it.
I know this isn't the greatest picture, but I was in uploading mood.
Oh and, I haven't been getting many comments what-so-ever lately, which really disappoints me. Do you guys have any tips..? I really like comments, and when I don't get them I feel that my photography is really bad; which it probably is.
