There is a lot we can learn from modern architecture. As citizens: 20th Century buildings represent the deep relationships among society, institutions, culture and technology. As eyesighted human beings: they force us to perceive their plastic value before their function (museum, parliament house, theater, airport). As photographers: the patterns produced by the dialogue between their shape and the dance of light and shadow are always tempting when we see them through our viewfinders.
Ara Pacis Museum, Rome
Everybody believes he is familiar with Rome. As schoolboys, novel readers or film-goers we all have a general idea of its history and looks. Share on Facebook
Gianni,
Your article is simply stunning both from the standpoint of seeing Rome in a totally new perspective as well as a visual feast. Your works are finest architectural photographs I have seen anywhere.
Thank you for sharing your unique perspective of Rome, it has opened up a whole new world of exploration for me.
Best regards,
Bill
