Photographer’s Note

New Morning

One morn I awakened
A new sun was shining
The sky was a Kingdom
All covered in blood
The moon and the stars
Where the troops that lay conquered
Like fruit left to wither
Poor spiritual food

And the spears of bright sun
All brave with it conquest
Did hover unearthly
In banners of fire
I kneit in the garden
Awash with the dawning
And a voice came so brightly
I covered my eyes

Thank you for giving
This bright new morning
So steeped seemed the evening
In darkness and blood
There'll be no sadness
There'll be no sorrow
There'll be no road too narrow
There'll be a new day
And it's today
For us

Hi Paolo
Nice picture with two generations. It's nice. The frame is unusual with the large place on the right but it work very well.
Well done
Bertrand

Witaj Paolo!
Interesting composition. I like this Daily Life shot. The black and white increase this emotion.

Ciao, davvero una bellissima foto, stupendi questi tre personaggi, e l'essenzialità dell'ambientazione... la panca, lo scatto a sinistra... tra l'altro per nulla facile il fuoco su due piani!

Hi Paolo - very sweet and artistic portrait, the puppy looks simply adorable. Have a nice sunday.

The boy and the puppy (oh I hope you have more) are so good together
The happy papa (grandpapa) looking so proud here
But I can’t resist the dog, it is so cute
I even don’t mind the (not needed) extra noise

I hope you have more of the two

Hi Paolo,
Very nice daily life shot!
The composition here is very good. The positioning of the characters is excellent. I like grainy B&W photos, but maybe here it is a little bit too thick for my taste.
Cheers,
Alon

Wonderful portrait of the boy proudly showing off the tiny puppy. Grandpa is proud too, but for a different reason. I'm not sure about the added noise; I think that's just a matter of personal taste.

You should do more of these kinds of people photos Paolo. Good compo, the epmtiness of the right side of the frame suggests that something, or rather someone is missing from this family. Where is the mother? The black and white is better able to get this feeling of something missing across much better than a color shot.

Hi Paolo!
Very nice shot with great composition. Excellent use of B/W with some effective noises. Tanks for posting.

Hello Paolo,

I like this composition, beautiful juxtaposition of the old age and the new hope, and I always like pictures with human elements. I would play with dodge and burn tool here in this picture, but very good picture and the added noise.

A lovely portrait you have here. The grainy nature adds a whole deal of atmosphere to it. The characters are natural and are not looking at the camera. The scene is one of warmth and is easy to connect with. Great work.

Another great and showing Your sensitive nature picture.
Very well and originally composed. U had a courage to put the main objects on the left agaimst the "empty" right side.
It works wonderful.

Thanks,
Agnieszka

bonjour Paolo
j'ai parcouru ta gallerie, il y a de superbes paysages aux couleurs étonnantes, mais je me suis arrêté sur celle-ci, car comme le titre l'annonce, c'est une histoire qui nous est offerte sur cette photo. Un nouveau matin, une petite fille avec son chiot, un père heureux derrière.
j'aime beaucoup
Pascal
