I saw this photo, week starting Sun., Dec., 23, 2007

Thank you.

I can see the photos now.

Could be only Japanese, by the style and color and subjects. Like sushi, Honda, and Yoko.
 
Another italian photographer whose photos I recently saw at an exhibition in Lucca. The link is about a job he did in Lucca during the summer.

He uses only polaoids camera. I like that guy because he breaks the photo, traditionally a single frame for a single moment, in many frames and different moments, but then he put all the frames in one as it really was a single photo.
Hope you'll enjoy.
Ciao

Thank you, wonderful photos.

Doesn't his work resonate with David Hockney (joiner photos series) well, and with Lomography?

Thanks Jon,
yes, about Hockney's photography (http://www.hockneypictures.com/photos/photos_polaroids.php) I see some common roots in cubism.
Another interesting point, if I can sum up Lomography (which in some way i like) as "creativity without control" I'd say Galimberti instead has great control in preparation and post production of every single work. The composition "lucca15" is took inside the old food market, well I know that place and it's hard to photograph -imho -but he understood so well the place, the story, the architectural structure that I can guess it's not just about see, shot and develop; the light/exposure is studied in each single photo to render the idea, in the final compostion, of light you have inside the buidilng; also the way he composed the final opera makes me think about a clear vision he develops far before taking the photos.

Yes, it's clearly planned.

I'm thinking about putting my stuff on Lomo in a similar way. Not wacky snaps but good photos (?) side by side in a collection.
 
Hi Steamer
This thread seems to have gone a bit away from where you started.
So back to your first post.
I thought the photo fascinating because it took me into a realm of photogrphic subject that I hadn't really thought about. Some of Clarice's observations of reflections and objects in mirrors and windows produce some wonderful images for me - her photograph on the station platform demonstrates a real 'seeing eye'.
Thanks for the direction to the photographs.
Now I wonder what I can do with photos including Joe - my mess of a dog?

Hmmm, to the OP...checked the link, not so impressed. But hey, that's the beauty of photography...it's all subjective.

I might have to agree with charlesfoto, generally.

However, the "concealment" photo is clever, the dogs seem to be good models.
