My grandfather, Paul Cason, served in the United States Air Corps during the Second World War and was stationed in southern Italy during the Allied occupation. He was not a front-line solder: he was essentially given a welding torch and ordered to build things. But he brought along his camera and captured some of the most beautiful images. Before he died, I acquired his negative library which collected dust in his basement for several decades. I am finally getting around to properly archiving the negatives. While doing so, I have come across some wonderful photographs he took. Besides the number of photographs of the drudgery of the military, he captured images of the daily life of the citizens of Italy that remained in the southern part of the country during the Allied occupation. It has been pure joy to go through these negatives; I have no doubt of his talent and wish that I could have learned more from him while he was alive: not only his time in Europe, but of his photographic technique. I hope you enjoy these photographs as much as I have.

Gregg.

Dein bestes Bild in 2020 – Welches war dein Bild 2020?

Wir wollten ursprünglich eine Serie zu Corona machen, können das Wort aber mittlerweile, wie wahrscheinlich alle, nicht mehr hören.

Deswegen auch im Hinblick auf eine schönere Zukunft lassen wir das Thema offen und freuen uns über schöne Lichtblicke.

Durchhalten und auf ein freieres 2021!

Your best picture in 2020 – What was your picture in 2020?

We originally wanted to do a series about Corona, but meanwhile, like probably everyone, can no longer hear the word.

Therefore, also with a view to a better future, we leave the topic open and look forward to beautiful bright spots.

Hang in there and look forward to a freer 2021!
