Parrocchia di San Salvador
Over the years, the Venetian calle and sottoporticci, churches and palazzi, canals and lagoon have become a metaphoric maze to mine my shadows. I don’t remember when I started looking at my psychological shadows but it was in Venice that I started noticing them in my photographs. Are they simply detached graphic forms, like Peter Pan’s shadow that needs sewing to something real, do they hold some deeper meaning or is it all just trite cliche?
Whichever is irrelevant! Whatever it takes to be in touch with myself and my own ability to create, is valid. Making photographs through which I can pass beyond the simple shades of gray, into my own light and shadow, the blessing.

Sometimes the shadows are the most beautiful!

I agree! The dazzle of the light can be just too distracting to see it some times though…
