Photography can be understood as a faithful technical extension of universal human knowledge, as a brave though incomplete artistic interpretation of the immortalized present, or as sterile and fleeting evidence of what was lived in the face of what was gained or suffered.
From Photography we learn the perspective of the whole: that reality, even if it can be manipulated, starts from any specific point and is made up of each one without discarding the other. Practicing this in our own lives is revealing. We should cultivate the patience to take a photograph, to take ownership of a piece of reality and give it meaning, to digest our own dogma and understand the other point of view.
