Present Magazine Kansas City Voice

In Italy, if you say 'Kansas Ciy', you remember our great Alberto Sordi (actor).
Well 2 days ago I was surfing on the net and I saw this Magazine (PresentMagazine.com) full of photos about Nature. Spring is here and I'm photographing the world around me. Why not send some pictures?
I didn't known if This magazine was international or not and I sent my photos to Pete.

Well Pete replies to me after only an hour and He said 'While we normally focus on publishing material with some connection to Kansas City since we're a locally-based online magazine, your images are so colorful and striking that it would be a pleasure to feature them in our Take Your Shot series'
Pete, we are connected through Alberto Sordi...

and so, now, I am into Present Magazine!
Fly to have a look!

Sardinian Earrings

My old camera finally wanted to photograph these new earrings...I promise best photos in the next days...if my camera wants!

Black porcelain beads, sterling silver wire, tiny pearls. The motif of pattern is a traditional Sardinian jewellery, a simple and elegant drawing, I love it!

white coral from Hawaii, a new pendant

I was photographing a new pendant (white coral from Hawaii)and... There was another spectator, a cat, his name is...cat

Old Paintings

I found two old paintings in my parent's house...I painted these women when I was 16 years. The photos aren't perfect, I photographed these paintings with my mobile phone in a rainy and dark day...
The first woman is Salome dancing with her body
the second painting is a woman in the water, title 'Dream'

No free time for me today, a very busy day...
Today is Holiday for us (italians) and I'm decorating the house (next days the photos)...but the sunset was so incredible...dark pink with green and violet... that I have taken my brushes and I have added a touch of pink and dark green on my trompe l' oeil...like an impressionst landscape

A self-Portrait:Photo Transfer Magic with Radzat

Another class on http://www.thatcreativeplace.com/ (thanks Lisa!) with Marilyn Radzat. The transfer painting is very fun and easy and quick. I can use my old photos, I can use my new photos, magazine's photos, illustrations and so on...like a 'decollage', I can decorate the transferred photo with acrilic paints and rhinestones. No limits!!!!

You can see: a self-portrait and a black angel (painting on canvas)

...Like Stieglitz....

Nuvole...clouds...nuages...Wolken...nubes...nuvens...moln...bewolking...
