Vam tenir el privilegi de visitar aquesta bilbioteca, que no s'obre al públic i que ni tan sols els alumnes de la universitat hi tenen accés. Té uns 11.000 llibres. Les cintes negres que es veuen són per subjetar -los per què no es desmontin de tan antics. Un espai de coneixament i història resguardad del públic per preservar la seva integritat.
"Dedicada a en Xevi www.flickr.com/photos/xevius_pics, que és un gran fotògraf !!
Sorry my knowledge is very limited on ID.
I love the Flickr automatic tags. they have tagged this as food. I may go back and have it on my toast. Wonder if I will have a bad belly afterwards?
That said, I may get a Flickr viewer saying it is edible. Egg on my face then. Sorry about the pun.

Monroe recognized photography as a tool to advance her career, and few celebrities have ever played better to the camera. “The first day a photographer took a picture of her she was a genius,” the director Billy Wilder once remarked. “She was not only a natural to the camera, but she had a sure knowledge of how to use that affinity. It was to her what water is to a fish. She exulted in it.”

Two piece bathing suit modeled by a still brunette Marilyn Monroe. Funny to think how what is a staple in every girl’s closet today was at one time a new, outrageous invention
A pictorial of Marilyn on the beach. Years vary, from 1945 'till 1962. The song is Do It Again, sung by Marilyn.

For “Knowledge is Golden” the inspiration was specific to the area which the mural was done. San Francisco is seeing its second gold rush with information and knowledge being the currency of today. SOMA, being slated to be developed as the new downtown of San Francisco with technology leading the transformation, is why we chose this location for our message.
Gold miners have been replaced by tech innovators. Pickaxes and shovels have been replaced with laptops and desktops. Though the times have changed, the human thirst for chasing opportunity remains prevalent in these times. And with this influx of new people, San Francisco culture as we know it will never be the same.

I always find it “amazing” how people spend their time discussing other people. We have so many topics for conversations and yet ... I just walk away... *i have almost a week off starting the following Tuesday but contemplating about going away because would really miss NY during the holidays * ♥️
The main library at Trinity College. This library houses the Book of Kells. To me, the library was more interesting.
EXPLORED!!! Highest position: 51 on Sunday, January 3, 2010
This is, of course, my last upload for this year.
Time to draw some conclusions...
I'm gonna be pretty wordy here, I really want to share with you my impressions of the moment; my 'occasional' followers can skip this section and go to my usual shooting details and description!
First of all, 2009 has been, without a doubt, the explosion of my SERIOUS love for visual arts.
I realized I need a stronger knowledge about art and photography. I'm trying to read as much as I can, to broaden my culture. I made a commitment to stop caring that much about gear and spending useless time on photographic forums, serious books provide far more valuable informations.
I'm also trying to learn more and more from the Masters, having increased their 'number', too.
I'm a lot more into subtleties than before, I spend much more time thinking the shot than actually wonder around shooting.
As for my personal life, 2009 made me really stronger. I fully recovered from an important love story which ended.
This recovery made me realize how much strong I am and how much I can give to other people.
Then I fell in love again, and when I look back it's easy to see that those moments of deep pain are now so distant and far, and things are going much better than before.
Those deep changes in life are useful: they let you realize your point of view can dramatically change, much faster than you can imagine.
Now, some 2010 NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS!!! (random order)
1) More stability with work. I want to get a full time occupation and sign an official contract;
2) No laziness: I have to keep up the good work with my body I started last May - June;
3a) No intellectual laziness: Stop wasting time on the Internet (Flickr is NOT wasting time; useless forums, facebook etc.. are);
3b) No intellectual laziness: Read more (Novels, Art books, essays, etc);
4) Attend more art exhibitions;
5) Buy a full-frame camera (is it a resolution?!?);
6) Travel a lot;
Last but not least:
I really want to thank you, my dear Flickr friends. When I write this I really mean it; without you I wouldn't be here;
your constant feedback, comments, faves, notes, helped me immensely.
Many of your artworks truly inspired me, made me struggle to get better and better and open my eyes in many directions.
THANK YOU!!!!

Una piccola eccezione per la fine del 2009... la descrizione in italiano!!!
Mi scuso con tutti i miei contatti e con i visitatori occasionali per le mancate traduzioni passate;
come ho scritto anche nel profilo la traduzione completa diventerebbe impegnativa;
Questo è il mio ultimo upload per il 2009, ed a corredo voglio inserire alcune riflessioni.
Il 2009 è stato certamente l'anno che ha segnato l'inizio del mio interesse dilagante per le arti visive.
Mi sono reso conto di quanto debba approfondire la mia conoscenza relativa sia alla storia dell'arte in generale che, più nello specifico, alla fotografia.
Mi sto applicando per leggere moltissimo, cercando di evitare di sprecare tempo girovagando in Internet senza una meta.
Cerco di trarre ispirazione dai Maestri, che, con il passare del tempo, stanno aumentando decisamente in numero!
Passando ad aspetti più personali, il 2009 mi ha reso senza dubbio più forte; mi sono completamente ripreso dalla fine di una storia molto importante, e ciò mi ha fatto intendere quanto forte sia davvero e quanto abbia da dare agli altri.
Ora, quando guardo indietro, è facile rendermi conto di come quei momenti di sofferenza siano lontani e quanto adesso le cose funzionino meglio di prima.
Certi cambiamenti radicali nella vita sono senza dubbio utili: permettono infatti di renderti conto di come il tuo punto di vista, i tuoi riferimenti possano mutare in un battito di ciglia.
Ed ora, qualche buon proposito per il 2010!!! (Ordine casuale)
1) Più stabilità lavorativa. Voglio un impiego a tempo pieno;
2) No alla pigrizia: Voglio continuare l'ottimo lavoro con il mio fisico iniziato prima dell'estate;
3a) No alla pigrizia intellettuale: Non sprecare tempo su Internet;
3b) No alla pigrizia intellettuale: Leggere di più;
4) Visitare più mostre;
5) Acquistare una full-frame;
6) Viaggiare molto.
Ultimo, ma non meno impoartante:
Voglio ringrazionare di cuore tutti voi, miei amici di Flickr. Senza di voi non sarei qui; i vostri commenti, le critiche, le preferite, mi hanno aiutato moltissimo.
I vostri lavori mi hanno ispirato, fornendomi motivazione per migliorarmi e mi hanno aperto gli occhi in molto nuove direzioni: GRAZIE!!!

A veces no puedo evitarlo, están ahí y necesitan salir, necesitan expresarse, reprimirlas nunca será una buena alternativa... emociones.
Sometimes I can't help it, they are there and they need to get out, they need to express themselves, repressing them will never be a good alternative... emotions

The knowledge is liberating only when it transforms the creature, otherwise it will be nothing but dead weight!

Teaches my son to make a campfire, happiness was great when it caught fire, now it was hot dogs and marsmelows.This is an important knowledge in Norwegian winter forests to.
A lot of people on flickr have been burning books lately, and so I was inspired to do the same. Went out with my friend Sarah and Sarah to shoot and stuff and Im pretty sure we saw a drug deal or a "prostitute deal" or whatever you call it go down. The book was really old so the book went up in flames fast. Going to be working on the idea of burning things. Let me know what you think!
inspiration came from: www.flickr.com/photos/kmayer/ great photog!
