parce que nous regardons, non point aux choses visibles, mais à celles qui sont invisibles; car les choses visibles sont passagères, et les invisibles sont éternelles. (2 Cor 4:18)
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
...uns, die wir nicht sehen auf das Sichtbare, sondern auf das Unsichtbare. Denn was sichtbar ist, das ist zeitlich; was aber unsichtbar ist, das ist ewig.
Sound track : Messiaen, les choses visibles et invisibles (Messse de la Pentecôte : Offertoire)
Now that makes photography feel vain
I thought especially Frank F. and Akira S. would like the argument.
Ettore Fruscoloni, a friend from senior high times and passionate amateur photographer, set up a photo club and advanced courses in studio photography, spreading the enthusiasm. The last exhibition he set up in Rome was quite successful, dealing with a particularly painful subject: Auschwitz.
He passed away today, after a one-year desperate fight against a particularly nasty cancer. I last met him in August, together with two other schoolfriends. The shot is from today's crop, as usual.
