Chiaroscuro

Postby Francesco Carzedda » Thu Jan 01, 2015 5:44 pm

Dear Muvipix friends,

I have finally decided to share a video that explains why I have chosen to live in the little village I used to spend my holidays in.
Time becomes really relative here, I am part of Nature, sometimes I play to switch my vision to photographic negative: all changes and all is the same.
"Does Earth plug a hole in Heaven or Heaven plug a hole in Earth?'" (Genesis, "The lamb lies down on Broadway", 1974).
I wrote the answer to the recurrent question, ideally, in the e-mail format, I have included a souvenir of my mother and my father.

Happy new year, creative ideas for all your projects in life

Beautiful imagery, well-chosen visuals. You have a gorgeous place to call home. :TU:
By the way, if you liked the 70s Genesis era I can highly recommend what Steve Hackett has done with his Genesis Revisited. I received the Live at Hammersmith DVD/CD set for Christmas and am thoroughly enjoying it. Extremely well done.

Very peaceful and enticing indeed. The local tourism bureau should contact you.

Thanks, Dave !
I have started listening to Hackett's reading of the Genesis experience, I find it very respectful.
A friend of mine (who has had the chance to attend to some concerts) thinks that Hackett has always been the group's soul.
I see (better: hear :-) ) it in Tony Banks and in Anthony Phillips, who has left an unforgettable sign.

I have listened a live Supper's ready on YouTube, and it is really a nice work, with good musicians.

Well done. The colors and lighting is very soothing. watching the water and the boats is hypnotic. I could see that this would be a very nice place to go on holiday.

Truly beautiful, Francesco. I used to live by the sea and will forever regret having to leave. Congratulations on living in an extraordinarily beautiful place.

Thanks, Patrice, my village is so small that I am forcing you to look at the same things, but here is never boring

Perhaps, but always presented differently and creatively.

Francesco, this is my favorite video from you. The visuals were so peaceful and the music set the tone well. I like how you wove the shots of ocean and land together into a soothing visual fabric. Your village is very picturesque. The video indicates a relaxed pace of life that many don't have in today's frenetic everything-is-connected Internet driven world. Well done! ::CLAP:

The way you constantly snuck in those time lapsed shots, folded them into the moment. Sharing intimate photos of your parents; definitely had me wishing I too lived there, in your village.

Beautiful Francesco! Loved the imagery and the poetic editing. I recently read a photography book with chiaroscuro as a chapter. Another book is all about the light. Really makes you think when shooting.
