Honorable Mention
Blue-s
DESCRIPTION
Blues comes from the expression "to have the blue devils" with the meaning of "being sad, agitated, depressed". The English expression, originally, referred to the hallucinatory state that follows alcohol withdrawal crises.But Blues has deep roots in American history, particularly in the history of African Americans who worked in cotton fields and tobacco plantations. It is generally accepted that blues evolved from African spiritual songs and work songs.
As well blue is the color that surrounds, casually or maybe not, the Blues of Gloria Turrini and Mecco Guidi, the pianist that I portrayed in the photo.
Gloria Turrini and Mecco Guidi are a musical Duo with exceptional skill that I had the luck and pleasure to listen to in Castiglion Fiorentino, Italy, last August, during the vintage festival.
AUTHOR
I've been living in Siena, Tuscany, since I was born in 1968. I have two children and a job in the hospital of my town.When I was 40 years old, I decided to take over my life. First I graduated, then I immersed myself in my old dormant passion: photography.
At the beginning I devoted myself more to landscapes and architecture. Then to a modern still-life that revolves around geometries and colors. Finally my attention was seduced by portraits.
Anyway, in my opinion, no matter what it is: to capture a moment of our existence is a real magic. Photography is a fleeting moment of the present that lives on its fascination forever.
