A photo I took yesterday and a preview that I give you of the work that I will share soon.

Street Photography is a snapshot of life in the public space.

Photographing is an act that can belong to the most intimate essence of me. Photographing Carmen, my wife, in bed. A photograph, as always, exists because the photographer exists.

Blaxploitation is an ethnic subgenre of the exploitation film that emerged in the United States during the early 1970s. The term, a portmanteau of the words "black" and "exploitation", was coined in August 1972 by Junius Griffin, then president of the Beverly Hills-Hollywood NAACP branch.

Technique when it comes to street photography is different from all the rest. And then everyone has their own.

Gordon Parks is one of the greatest photographers of the twentieth century. He was photographer, filmmaker, writer and composer. It is time to to put it where it deserves: in the Olympus of street photography that it documents.

To link to the previous article, here is a photo that many would avoid sharing: blurred, out of focus, totally imperfect.

At the base of my research there is an approach that I want to clearly distinguish from the too serious photography that permeates all the layers of the so-called professional photography. My aspiration is to touch those points of photography that rely on a primordial instinct to take pictures, perhaps in a way that is not very Western. This is the reason why I deeply love the way Japanese people relate to the world through the lens of a camera.

The essence of the work of a street photographer is given by the city in which he lives. If one is lucky enough to travel a lot OK, but in any case the street photographer can be seen from the work he does in his daily life and therefore in the city in which he resides.

The popular neighborhood of Guerrero in Mexico City gives me a great gift wen I was busy in my project AMERICANA. And therefore it is a mural I keep photographing it.

You already know that I am using the 7Artisans 25mm f1.8 for my street photographs. And that will be until i sell the camera.

Street photography is a state of mind. And when a photograph manages to highlight it, I'm really happy.

Making the photography that I do is an absolutely different way from the one that counts with a more thoughtful approach. It certainly exposes me more to failure while on the street, but I accept it as part of the game.

While it is widely believed that street photography is somehow illegal, it is not. Even many photographers who don't take street photos have this perception that taking pictures without consent is at least unfair. The projection of this idea then becomes broader and more shared when they see a famous Bruce Gilden video in NYC.

Especially in this historical phase I try to make photography that is full of life. I want it as a photographer because I need it as a human being.

As anticipated yesterday, the first volume of THE RICOH FILES is now available as electronic and printed edition book.

This has been an extremely prolific month for me which also resulted in the launch of my new visual blog. I made a lot of photos and many of a good standard. Making a choice was not easy, but in the end I favored those that suggest some notes to share with you readers.

Soon on the shop of this website will be released The Ricoh Files in 2 volumes.
