Fotografie di un viaggio nemmeno tanto difficile, non quello che molti definiscono decisivo nella specifica e individuale formazione culturale e umana di ogni sognatore di emozioni.Spesso cerchiamo limpossibile, lultimo dei paradisi perduti, dimenticandoci che la nostra splendida Italia e in grado di regalare sensazioni uniche e naturalmente riconducibili al viaggio da realizzare tra spazi sconfinati e spopolati, dove la presenza umana rappresenta leccezione.Un viaggio nel silenzio sembra quasi impossibile partendo dal Salento, attraversando tutta la Calabria e ponendo come destinazione finale la terra solfurea della provincia di Catania e il suo emblematico e ansimante parente geologico, lEtna e il suo immenso fascino da solo giustifica il cammino.Quanta bellezza, sensazioni e profumi ancestrali attraversando la Calabria, quante emozioni dopo lo Stretto fino a raggiungere la bellissima citta di Catania: unica con la sua architettura barocca chiaramente diversa da quella salentina, la mia terra di origine.Pietre di lava che rendono il barocco incredibilmente affascinante, semplicemente osservando Catania ogni visitatore intuisce lunicita di una bellezza che nasce dalle sfuriate solfuree, proveniente dalle viscere della terra, che laustero e nobile vulcano ogni tanto decide di consegnare al suo popolo.

The Use of Photography recounts a passionate love affair between Annie Ernaux and the journalist and author Marc Marie, after the two met in January 2003. Ernaux had been receiving intensive chemo for breast cancer during the prior three months, and had lost all her hair from the treatments. At the end of January she had surgery, followed by radiation therapy. The affair took place in different locations and Ernaux describes how, shortly after it began, she found herself entranced each morning by the sight of clothes strewn about, chairs out of place and the remains of their last meal of the evening still on the table and how painful it felt to put things back in order afterwards. She went and got her camera, and began to take photographs of the scenes of disarray. When she told Marc Marie what she had done, he said he had felt the same desire. Translated by Alison L. Strayer into English for the first time, The Use of Photography is an extraordinary meditation on eroticism, photography and writing, a major work by the 2022 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate.

To these men who hare breathed eternal life into a new and noble art, the amusement lovers of the world owe a debt of gratitude. (1920 Lee Royal)

The object of this little work is to fill a void much complained of by Daguerreotypists--particularly young beginners.The author has waited a long time in hopes that some more able pen would be devoted to the subject, but the wants of the numerous, and constantly increasing, class, just mentioned, induces him to wait no longer.All the English works on the subject--particularly on the practical application, of Photogenic drawing--are deficient in many minute details, which are essential to a complete understanding of the art. Many of their methods of operating are entirely different from, and much inferior to, those practised in the United States: their apparatus, also, cannot compare with ours for completeness, utility or simplicity.I shall, therefore, confine myself principally--so far as Photogenic drawing upon metalic plates is concerned--to the methods practised by the most celebrated and experienced operators, drawing upon French and English authority only in cases where I find it essential to the purpose for which I design my work, namely: furnishing a complete system of Photography; such an one as will enable any gentleman, or lady, who may wish to practise the art, for profit or amusement, to do so without the trouble and expense of seeking instruction from professors, which in many cases within my own knowledge has prevented persons from embracing the profession.
