Color vs B&W

This is my big dilemma these last weeks (together with: how to create a photography project and when to launch my new photography website). Although I have always like color-saturated pictures I have to admit that black and white images are very, tremendously fascinating. I was post-producing the pictures I shot last week while travelling [...]

Infra | Richard Mosse

Infra is a photography project by Richard Mosse. A great project indeed. "Imagine 5.4 million deaths. It overloads the mind. There is no sliding scale of moral outrage, increasing in direct proportion to human suffering.

Grandmother Tips | Chacho Puebla

I found this project by Chacho Puebla exhilarating and interesting, and I share Chaco's thoughts when he says "As my son gets older and I get more grey hair, I wonder what kind of advice will I give to my grandkids". If I were Chacho I would have called this project Instagrandma!

Majorettes

The exhibition is divided into four sections, each one showing little jewels of the early photography:   Architecture - Ethnic Diversity - Transportation - People at Work Not to be missed!
