Dear colleagues,
After much wanderings, hesitations, evolutions and especially expectations, we are able to present to you the last issue of this year, which was a year full of contradictions, tensions, but especially great joys and hopes.
Yes, photography still has beautiful days in front of it, no, it is not dead, what it is, it is a vision of the past. Since the 1930s to the present, the photographer has dispersed like fireworks in all directions and this thanks to Kodak who democratized the camera for the common of mortals.
The photographers gradually turned into a salesman, not of their work but of that of others, and lost their souls without realizing it.
The very function of a photographer is to create images, but over time he has left this prerogative to the amateurs who, at present, cause a lot of prejudice to the professionals.
But the world is changing, everything that was outdated, mediocre, obsolete, will become and will be the norm, photographers will again become creators of images.
But this will not happen without a very important qualitative effort, because to succeed in this trade you have to stand out, create a real gap between you and the others.
That is why I am proposing in this issue three photographers of three different generations whose work you will appreciate, they have all carried the quality of their art to the tops.
Good reading.
Edoardo Piccinini
