"Photograph the Light not the land "






L ' Institut Français de Fès, and in particular its director Jean Dedolin, invites me for a residence d'artiste and for my photo exhibition with the theme of light. The title of the exhibition will

Extérieur Jour / Nuit Extérieur

Here is the schedule of events for the quarter: http://www. institutfrancaisfes.com / actionculturelle / prog-janv.pdf

photographs of architecture and landscape choice in a retrospective that runs from about 1992 to 2008, including also some black and white images made in the 90s, in Morocco during a long trek on the High Atlas. The theme is, of course, light, and it is less obvious than it sounds.



At the same time my presence in Fes, in about three weeks, will be dedicated to build a personal photo of reading the city, its places, its aspects.

Since 1999, I am regularly asked by France in particular - but not solely to develop and present projects, exhibitions and research creative expression through photography ... so many collaborations, many good opportunities, much knowledge and many friends ...

How does it feel? valued, appreciated, respected, recognized and acted upon.
What to say? thanks and thanks. GRATITUDE.

On the other hand ... never once was only possible to have a feedback post from a few Italian institute of culture, but I tried ... and I do not think just that we never try, also do not recommend anyone to try and correct at least in the usual ways ... maybe with the recommendations ... In New York and Paris, a few years ago, I also talked to a couple of directors: one seemed least negative, sad, at least as the institution itself in Paris and maybe even half depressed, the other the conversation took a different turn and cordially told me that he liked to be in New York because the flight was his passion and it was cheaper to fly there than in Italy ...

how it feels in these cases? bad, pretty bad, but it surpasses it.

Viva civilians in those countries where culture, creativity, the arts are still an added value and are truly respected.


My Leather Sofa Is Ripped Can It Be Fixed

VISIT PALERMO, PALERMO LIVING, ENJOY THE CENTER OF THE MEDITERRANEAN SUB-CULTURE


Description of the city a cluster of buildings dormitory built without a plan and accumulated dirty streets. Dominant color: gray.

Economics of the place: welfarism, speculation, second-and small businesses. Too many old people, because even the oldest stoned from their apathy, pensioners, who spend their pensions even in the purchase of furs for women and historically shapeless overweight, and sometimes large-screen televisions. Minority of young / older unemployed, underemployed, precarious: sad, without dreams, without looking, fearful, conformist, predictable, speechless and breathless. So inconsistent that perhaps some of them do not even have a shadow when they are in the sun.

Spoken languages: Italian formally, really a sort of muttering words in a guttural construct ungrammatical and gives the idea that widespread ignorance and dominant. The most that can be expected is a discussion on what it costs to rise and ended his life after the euro or "how are you-what do you do? In the most refined and certainly an interesting experience to hear about women.

Population : a million inhabitants and a culture they feel smarter than the other, who have no citizenship, no urban culture, no sensitivity of the concept of "public". In fact it is an agglomeration of people, or more appropriately, pieces of meat in human form, who still lives peeking behind the door of the house, the envy of others, as in the villages of the Islander static pecoreccio uneducated and from which, in most cases, moved here in the 50 and 80.

Trend: Sicily has always been a land of feud, and remains so even now in the island, the inhabitants of major cities, especially coastal, having emancipated the service of the feud, they feel all of the principles or, at worst, great people, and so behave in ceremonies, weddings and attitudes. In fact, due to a deep, structural and total ignorance about anything, people barely is able to distinguish a good wine dall'aceto, and drink everything, though.

Attitudes: local culture rude, self-referential, highly classist and racist that tends to in derogatory terms all that is outside the scope of the eyes. He despises the Arabs as the Romanians, Americans such as Milan. The Palermo despises equally, Catania and Trapani, think that all Moroccans or Tunisians are the poor wretches (and Tunisian or Moroccan is an adjective used in a derogatory manner), is firmly convinced that the place where he lives is the best, the most beautiful in the world.
In other words, is closed and dumb people, inexperience, tribal, with no further capacity to deal with their own clan, whose world extends to a radius of about two kilometers from its maximum - usually bleak and sad - condominium residence half-moldy, stale, and gray, made of waste materials in the 60s and 70s and regarded as a sort of royal palace of priceless value.

capacity for the company: best to do around here is to open a pasta factory. In fact, this is the best goods for the people buy in this market, and, damn dominant, it only takes a few pounds apiece. On the other hand, the real value of the same people, in most cases, will not exceed the price paid. When you want to have the most of people will promise two pounds of pasta Daten only one saying that the rest "has to come."

Words have weight




The word has a weight.


is never lightly, never furnishings. After that, a word makes its way in the mind, produces thought becomes action. The words do not come back. Never seen a word back in the throat of those who made the award or in the fingers of those who wrote it. The power of words is undeniable. It is for us not to put the word in the service of what in Star Wars was the dark side of force. Unfortunately in Italy the dark side is fed to fattening. An example? The exponent of the League Salvini reckless reactions after the events of Via Padova, Milan. After the brawl between North African and Latin Americans (following the murder of a young Egyptian) Salvini was the declaration of the "mop-up house by house" referring to immigrants. In a delicate situation in which common sense was used, was used instead the word "mop." Then it was denied. But the trouble has been done the same. No one can erase that word. It was pronounced, heard, cleared. And the step from the word of the tragedy, the word concentration camp is short. This kind of statement should never be taken lightly, hiding an abyss. Italians should be the first to get angry and demand respect for those who died because of that word. Let me give an example. Rome on a Saturday morning in October, for the Jews is a double celebration, the traditional Shabbat and Sukkot, the Feast of the Pilgrimage. We are in 1943. At 5.30 however, the inhabitants of the ghetto and not only they are arrested. Many will be loaded onto trains to Auschwitz. We should respect the dead, we should remember the past, we should no more words to babble nonsense, no more talk of raids.

Congratulation For Husband From Wife

Sex, Politics and Videotape ...


No more politically correct. Today we decided to be incorrect, provocative, sometimes in bad taste (almost like they are mostly men in everyday life) ... Let's start from the latest developments in the news and not politics. And 'it possible that in our poor, but with a glorious past, a country such big / small men in power, these men who command us, which decides our destiny, that with a simple gesture can also produce devastating effects on our poor lives, do nothing else, including a parliamentary session and the other, a board of directors and the other, an examination session and the other, a summit meeting and the other ... that whoring? ...

But where they find the time to do the public good and that of their family. that of their friends, one of their voters, that the institutions, that of their parties of reference, that of the allied parties or alleanti? Where do you find time to rest from the immense labors that await you every day, plus going to talk show in talk show, from entertainment to political forums politrico themselves, interviews with major national newspapers to statements on television, even abroad and for Not to mention the books that I write in my spare time. Poor! ... Perhaps he finally La Sibilla found an answer to those questions. We are in times of economic and structural crisis. The last barrier to the failure of the company Italy (to use a language dear to the President) is perhaps the neo-mania of the average, the gossip. See in this regard, the spread on the television schedule of programs purely and exquisitely mold vojeristico (Big Brothers, Island known or assumed, and any number of Farms, Friends of Friends, Men and women also in the elderly, Dancing with the Stars the firmament, and so on). Fallocratico In a country like ours, our beloved men in power have seen fit to overcome the crisis by creating gossip. And so, finally. the Italian press in a free fall in recent years, the general television schedules sovraavanzata by satellite, in-depth political programs that were not interested any more, as if by magic has begun to breathe ... to speak or write to Cynthia under the Caribbean sun or watch videotapes on Brenda with her man ( so to speak) nor to imagine Patrick on the Latvian state, or enjoy the photos of the eighteenth Noemi Papi or surrounded by friends and try to find out the names of girlfriends has become the new would-be Secretaries of the Italian hitch. The crisis is just stuff for nerds communists. Does not exist. What do you think? That there are workers in Termini Imerese on the roofs of local mom Fiat (which continues with impunity to receive state aid)? Question rhetoric and obvious answer. They're up there watching the Sun and other stars ...

This city is preparing to celebrate the jubilee year in honor of the patron's Eve with a series of cultural events of great interest and That's why I thought it important to speak of Troina for attention throughout the province. After the press conference we will, at the private room and in collaboration with the Regional Institute of the "Vine and Wine" wine and food tasting of typical local products. " From the blog of Augustine Sella



I can not believe! Tell me that's just a nightmare and that soon I'll wake up and that the BIT in Milan, which is one of the showcases of international tourism more 'important, not only will it stand in the province of Enna, but there will be all the more' operational preparedness of the sector to advertise what promises to be the year of events, the year that will project our province in the international tourist scene with the arrival of the Venus of Morgantina and the reopening of the Villa Romana del Casale with acrolith and silver returned to our land ... Besides, we were at the BIT for years even when we had little to promote and now they tell me that the economic situation did not allow us to be present with a stand ... are we kidding? Perhaps money could be sought out with the participation of external sponsors, perhaps saving up for other events .. In short, not enough for me that the Assessor's office shall say sorry. Sorry what? Of not doing enough! Tell me that is not true that there will be only food and wine tastings and press conferences between provincial and municipal councilors but that our Province has prepared a rich and varied tourist package to sell to more 'important tour operators tell me that is just a nightmare and that soon will come to give us a hand the cultural tourist's management culture, profiles can use everything that comes to art and culture, professionals are able to promote our region in terms of artistic and cultural finally ceasing to entrust the management of tourism promotion and to those who does not even know what we're talking about ...

Tell me that we will soon forget about the country roads every day is traveled by bus with dozens of tourists and that the work will start soon to host the Venus in the town of Aidone. Tell me, please, that the tables will not only technical but useless chatter that will work to solve the problems that afflict our region for decades, by the reopening of the museum Alessi to avail of the Castello di Lombardia, the protocol with the Curia to allow ' Opening of the churches for language courses to accommodate foreign tourists ... work ... work ... work ... Do not just imagine hordes of Chinese and coach of pilgrims, tourism is another and we, we must admit we have some difficulties in the management of the same ... If these 365 days - which is a very short time - we can not to organize ourselves in a serious way and maybe it's better than operating the Venus remains in Los Angeles in his beautiful museum in Malibu ', the Villa Romana in management we can give to the Chinese and we ask the critic of art that promises to make Piazza Armerina the most 'beautiful of cities returning all the money we gave and continue to give ...

Depression: Cancer of the soul ... If this is a man

"I'm sure to be crazy again. I feel that we can not face another of those terrible moments. And this time does not heal. I begin to hear voices, and I can not concentrate. So I'm doing what seems the best thing to do. You gave me the greatest happiness possible. Have you been in every way all that anyone could ever be. I do not think two people could have been happier when she got up to this terrible disease. I can no longer fight. I know that I'm ruining my life, that without me you could go forward. And you do not know. See I can not even write this properly. I can not read. What I want to tell you is that I have all the happiness of my life to you. Have you been completely patient with me and incredibly good. I want to say - everyone knows it. If anyone would have been able to save you. Everything is gone from me except the certainty of your goodness. I can not continue to ruin your life. I do not think that two people may have been happier than it was us. V. "





An Italian two considers depression as incurable breast cancer, that frightens only one in four women. Apparently it is a surprising finding, which comes from the first national survey on women and depression, brought on by the National Women's Health (wave) and built by Giuseppe Pellegrini, social researcher at the University of Padova, interviewing 1,016 women between 30 and 70.




Probably, however, the widespread approach to this disease, a disease that is in effect, still suffers from a range of prejudices and cultural conditioning. Reading the data collected by a given fact ONDa leaps to the eye and care: women who suffer from depression, than to believe their lives disrupted by the disease in seven cases out of ten feel shame or guilt. The women, who statistically depression are the most frequent victims, feel they find around them the same understanding that they would if they were suffering from breast cancer or any other disease. So, still feel judged, they feel shame and guilt. the result most dangerous of all is that they often decide not to tell anyone. In this regard, a more alarming is the fact that in 2010 a woman with depression in six does not ask for help. In so doing, it prevents itself to recover from an illness that can and should be treated.




shame, guilt, fear, feelings are more common in women with depression. Speaking of fear, it probably stems from the fact that women know the effects of depression, know that creeps into their lives, alienating: 65% of them have lived on their skin or view close on family or friends. But perhaps above all because they fear they have no confidence in treatment. In fact, the majority thinks that the therapy may contain in part the consequences of the disease, but not really solve the problem. Besides, even some recent study has raised doubts about it, such as that conducted by the University of Pennsylvania, which involved over 700 patients and has suggested that antidepressants are effective only in very severe cases, while mild cases are not decisive. In this regard, according to the school of thought prevalent in less severe depression, medication and psychotherapy are the same and in some cases, psychotherapy is more useful. Instead, in most cases of depression severe, antidepressants are a very good response, especially when combined with psychotherapy. The data show that 34% of patients treated with medication cures and 36% see half the amount of symptoms. If the drug is associated with psychotherapy, the percentage of patients that benefits from the treatment rises to as much as 80%. Unfortunately, this message is not perceived by women to the bottom, which shows a part of a rating against the use of psychotherapy (85%), but on the other a real confidence in the use of drugs. In fact, only one in two believes that drugs can make a difference, although in the medium-severe forms is essential. Who has tried them, however, shows to appreciate a little more.






The data that is more distressing is that only just over half of patients get to heal, and of these 60% received inadequate treatment or inadequate. The result of these inadequate responses is that 30% of patients with depression a month after withdrawal of treatment to seek treatment and only one out of three following the treatment and how it should be. In women, inter alia, for biological reasons there is an increased sensitivity to side effects of drugs, which also have a different effect from Depending on the time of life, such as during the childbearing or menopause. So many drop out before obtaining a result.




Depression is really cancer of the soul, an evil subtle but sharp, which prevents those affected to live life. Perhaps, the approach to surface treatments for this disease has contributed a lot to fuel fears, anxieties, shame or depression in those patients in their family. But depression is not shameful. E 'disease. And as such should be dealt with by the patient and the people he loves. Like any other illness. As a breast cancer. With fear but with courage, to heal quickly but also with due patience, with medication and psychotherapy. Unfortunately, the natural course of depression as any other disease that is cured is death, in this case the death caused by the same person, suicide. So it is important to recognize and be alert all the signs of depression in people we love. Do not forget: depression, if treated well and on time, now you can heal.
