All roads lead to Rome

These pictures were taken following the old masters of photography. At the very beginning the aim was to depict the world, with the new revolutionary media. The world, since then for many centuries, was only painted therefore subject to the interpretation of the artist.  Here for the very first time we have the real view, like the first picture taken by Nicephore Niepce a view from his window in 1826.

Considering the size of the media used, these pictures are only taken with a huge old wooden camera, 10by8 Mahogany Gandolfi ; therefore the discipline needed is great and the concentration is greater, in order to obtain the results at best. Often I carry all these massive equipment for long distances, and don’t even take a picture. It is all part of an exercise for the mind, which is the final mean for the good picture.
