Today I'd like to share with you more photography. As I told you before, I spent some time on holiday in Italy last May, in a beautiful region called "Cinque Terre". These are actually 5 villages founded by fishermen a while ago, which you can only access by train, boat or by foot. No road, basically!
I had there a beautiful weather, a great light, just the best light conditions for photos!
I spent one day in Portovenere which is a city a bit further East from the Cinque Terre. A very nice city with a fortress built with grey stones. They were lots of tourists, all taking the same pictures (and I'm one of them! ). But then I saw this group of Japanese artists who stayed in this position for few hours, painting this building in watercolour. Their work was really looking nice and neat. I liked this idea of taking less "souvenir" picture, and just focus on having one nice, personal. This requires talent yes, but mostly work.
I don't say that I'll start painting, no, I'm really not good at it! But I'll keep my "old fashion" roll cameras. It's a great exercise, not to think that "random" will eventually give you one nice picture in middle of hundreds of pictures, but spend time and focus to one single shot. Put everything in place, build your picture and then press the button. And discover weeks later that your work did actually produce what you were expecting!
