Sometimes, I write a blog post and it hits a wrong note. If it stays wrong in my mind, I delete it. Sorry about that ...
Nice news today is that the new Lovin Genova Blog, created by the Office for the Development and Promotion of Tourism of the City of Genoa, has one of my posts up. It's titled, From The Outside Looking In.
Davide Chelli has written a beautiful post that takes you inside the Oriental Market, on Via XX Settembre in Genova.
I captured them, just as they were escaping the party ...
I love the way this city goes from post-modern to ancient, and everything in-between, so easily.
A couple of weeks ago, I moved in with a family for 24 hours and proceeded to capture a slice of life of their life documentary photography shoot.
It was such fun. As a family unit they have this incredible energy and work as a team in a way I've rarely experienced. I've been curious about families since I was small ... a child ethnographer, for reasons I don't understand.
Daily life was chaos and celebration, caught up in this energetic bundle of people and intelligence and kindness, and frustrations too. Just as a family should be ... if that 'should be' was according to Di.
It was a privilege and so much fun.
At one point, it came about that I wasn't allowed to continue with the shoot until I had taken this photograph. Mr 4 insisted, in so charming-a-way, who could resist.
