Loneliness in modern times

Photography is a refined technique to capture the moment. Unique and incomparable.

The artist, the true artist, a lucky few ones, concentrates himself on highlights, wonderful and eternal moments.

I mean the photographer of people, portrait, moving or static, of human beings in general. Those, that for some, or many, I do not know, are different from other animals.

These geniuses are able to get inside through the eyes, communicate with something and get it out. In the artist model; the child; in the middle of a war; with the poor ones, everyday asking for an alms; the old man the girl/boy who has not made mistakes yet; the happy bride; the distraught mother or the ruthless executioner; the lovers kiss; the charismatic politician or elated dictator. The sick, junkie, hopeless. 

They focus much more on the suffering. As the evil of the movies, the bad guys, that have always a big hook. We remember them with love and try to imitate them.

Black and white pictures are generally stronger works. The color does not get it. It may serve for weddings and christening ceremonies. For the portrait white and black is a must, as if it were a tunnel that ultimately shines with light.

Those who disbelieve say that through a picture the individual soul could be found. So if there a soul..., who did create it and how it was made?

Those who believe, and some people because they are always alone, comply with the "Portrait" of Antonio Machado, Spaniard, honest poet: Whoever banters with himself, may one day hear God's mind".

Do not ever despair, you never walk alone. There can always be out there a photographer, attentive to capture your eternity.
