At the heart of the street

At the heart of the street - Blog-Beitrag von Fotograf Alex Coghe / 13.10.2021 14:21

That immediate recognition through a moment that shapes and reveals itself to me. The moment everything tells me it’s time to press the shutter button.

It is the light. It is the position of the subject. It is my position respect to the subject.

As a writer of photography I think a lot about the condition of the photographer, about his state of mind at the moment of shooting. The ontology of the photographer, that state of affairs, the staying in the right conjunction of everything that allows me to stay focused and in a moment capture that magical moment that reveals itself to me, to you, to all of us.

Street Photography it is a constant teaching, preparatory to all my observing the world.

San Colombano

San Colombano - Blog-Beitrag von Fotograf Storvandre Photography / 11.10.2021 13:31

San Colombano hill is the only place in the province of Milan devoted to viticulture and winemaking. It’s said that these were introduced—together with Christianity—by St. Columbanus in the 7th century. The hillside park extends between the Lambro and Po rivers and covers almost 1,500 hectares (~3,707 acres). This land is shared by five municipalities, but 60% belongs to San Colombano. The highest altitude is at Madonna dei Monti which reaches 147 meters (~482 feet).

Vineyards occupy one-third of the hill. There, vines of Croatina, Barbera, and Uva Rara are cultivated and their grapes blended together to make the fine San Colombano Rosso, or red. Pleasant and sparkling with notes of berries when young, the vino reaches its highest expression in the mature Riserva version. In a turn of events from legend to literature, the San Colombano red may actually be the wine featured in Alessandro Manzoni’s famous historical novel, The Betrothed, which is set in and around Milan in the 1600s.
