Thanks
Not all content is suitable for Facebook of course. Some series will only be present on my website (when I will be able to make it the way I want - which is not easy because I am not a programmer)

To those who showed up on my artist page... I have also added you as friends to my freetime ID... some of you were friends also with the other ID... but that's ridden with past work contacts and other people who I don't want to stand in the way of my hobbies So I nearly don't use it anymore.

he heee... Yeah, I used to play the keys, long time ago... yes, I have some recordings who survived from the time gone...
Right now I am helping with the promotion of a young Italian talent, a singer who ranked 4th in the latest Italian X-Factor contest, a true talent not a fake one.

Orio, be sure to add your best photos!
There are glaring omissions right now.
I can remember a lot of amazing photos.
For example, the carnival snapshots.
You know, Bresson-style photos

Kind of thought that Orio but a pity nonetheless.
It's a shame that photography, event or otherwise, seems to be so devalued these days. |

Yes, everybody with a cell phone thinks that he can make photos as a pro nowadays.
The lack of good taste and of proper artistic education also play a role in that.
Most people is not able anymore to understand and recognize the beautiful today. This because our educational system
has concentrated all efforts on teaching the "useful" disregarding "useless" things are the arts.

So true, Orio.
And so bad for all people on the planet.
Recently, at work, we needed photos of every major town in Greece.
The first question of the manager was:
"do you know where we can get the photos for free?"...
In part, this is a side-effect of the digital era.
Digital made taking photos a lot cheaper.
This made photography to look cheaper too.
And also people have started to attribute a photo's aesthetic appeal to post-processing,
not to composition, inspiration etc

Very true - someone saw one of my landscapes and after the usual 'you must have a really good camera.' cliche, proudly informed me that he had done all the Photoshop tutorials he could lay hands on so he could do the same as me.
So for starters I asked him if any of the PS tutorials covered composition or if he had heard of the 'Rule of Thirds'...
Still waiting on that postcard... |

you must be able to read your image, see what you need to do, have an aesthetical idea of where you want to go from there.
You can learn Photoshop for 10 years, but if you don't have a developed aesthetical sense first and foremost, you aren't
going anywhere with it.

That was my point to that person - if you have no 'eye' then no amount of PS skill or fancy gear will save the day. |
