I segni della mancanza si segno: osservare, sentire, ricostruire l'immaginazione tramite l'Arte per dar forma a ciò che sfugge.

The signs of the lack of sign: observe, feel, rebuild the imagination through art to give form to that which escapes.
Imitation and Shame:
Dark Shadows is a haunting exhibition of beautifully carved sculptures depicting the horrific scenes of the suffering of the Great Irish Famine. Following a visit to the Irish Workhouse Centre in Portumna the knowledge attained of this man made famine and starvation inflicted on the Catholic Irish Peasants by a cruel English Parliament is a wonderful work of art to behold . The artist Kieran Tuohy captures the suffering and misery of the walking dead with this amazing collection.
An Gorta Mór or the Great Hunger is more commonly referred to as the Irish Famine. A famine is defined as a failure of crops but in 1850's there was lot of food but the Catholic peasant dependence on the potato crop meant starvation and death for millions.
Irish history shows that the savage campaign carried out by Oliver Cromwell and the Protestant English Parliament 1619 to 1653 resulted in the loss of 42% of the population. Bad as this may have been, the displacement of Catholic Landowners ( to hell or Connaught ) and there replacement by mostly absentee Protestant Landlords and their agents .This resulted in a large amount of the population moving to higher and less fertile lands. The only way of survival was growing potatoes for many and the blight and failure of the crop was a total disaster.
While the poor starved Ireland was producing more than enough food to feed them, but food was being removed at gunpoint by Queen Victoria’s troops garrisoned in Ireland for this purpose. In 1847 alone, 4,000 ships carrying £17,000,000 worth of foodstuffs, 10,000 head of cattle, and 4,000 horses and ponies sailed to England. That same year, etched in memory as “Black 47,” saw 500,000 Irish people die of starvation and related diseases.
It became cheaper for the Landlords to pay passage on a Famine Coffin Ship than to keep starving tenants so many shipped off their tenants. 25% of Ireland population either died of starvation or emigrated, that's two millions people. In today's world it would be called ethic cleansing, twice within two centauries.
Shadows of a perfect weekend. Nothing to complicated this week, just a shot of the view we had over a very relaxing easter weekend ( complete with shadows and a pelican)

within the oculus of the world trade center in manhattan, the early afternoon light casts enchanting patterns on the tiled floor. amidst this interplay of light and shadow, a captivating woman and her majestic poodle stroll gracefully, their silhouettes adding a touch of life to the geometric dance of illumination. the scene captures a fleeting moment of serenity and connection amidst the urban hustle.
I honestly can't believe this is my last photo for my 52 week project. So crazy! Now that it's over I plan to focus more on my own personal conceptual pieces =]
The last theme I took a more personal approach to, even if it isn't a self portrait. I wanted to create a picture that represents the anxiety issues I have. The orignal concept was going to have regular hands reaching like they were trying to help, with the shadows being the knives, but when creating it something just didn't look right. I think simple is just better sometimes.
But yea the concept is all about the feeling of social anxiety and that everyone is out to get you or judge you in some way. Even if it's all in your head, the feeling is very real and just as damaging.

For some reason, many fallen leaves in this section of the forest were lying on their sides making great sun screens.
Was at work, liked the light. The sun was low and golden behind me casting a shadow on the walls at work. I took this whilst in motion letting the camera grab my shadow as I walked forwards. I kind of liked it.

I can't walk past the arches without popping in and taking a picture. I love how the walls look in different types of light and the shadows are amazing.
It's possible this area will be made into art shops and workshops which will be great for the area, but i will miss scenes like this.

the late evening sun was just coming through my hotel window at just the right angle and displaying a grand screen on the plain boring wall - it was irresistible!!
The city center Bologna Italy , the important in this shot is the contrast created between the shadow and light , you can understand it as you like there is so many opinions about it ...
I'm living in the shadow of love
I can run but I can't hide
It's because... I'm living in the shadow of love
To me you are the only one I dream of

Four girls in an attempt to pose for a photo of their shadows at Playa Flamenco on Culebra, Puerto Rico.
I enjoyed a wonderful walk yesterday with Toronto Photo Walks in Hamilton (the Hammer). I joined the group after an absence of five months due to my shoulder surgery. Today I'm laying really low and babying the shoulder, lol. It was wonderful seeing everyone, a great turnout of a couple dozen of us. The weather for January the 12th was an incredible 13 C or 56 F!!!
