Noctilux


Every human being, an unaware photographer, develops and process, in the dark room of his memory, the images recorded in the course of time: they are reds images, illuminated in the intense glow of light-years, even when the veil of night falls over the silence of dream or the swirling turmoil of insomnia. Then on the photosensitive negative film of his identity, vividly emerge the features of the people and things that have impressed , fascinated and him or triggered and his hilarity. Thus in sleep, recent events mingle with remote ones and form a chain of countless episodes: the film of his life. Jacques Prévert

Impossible is nothing (with a tiny Epson 850 Z)


A page with text and photos by Michele Annunziata/Manunzio that explains (up image) how to get a still-life without any classical rules. According to vulgate (vox populi vox dei?) a digital image at the current time should only have tons of pixels, especially if used on Full Frame camera, even better if half-format same time is (except for money) choice that nothing adds to what is enough to get a good print, full A4 page, on offset papers or printed & framed on white wall galery. We remember, however, “less is more”. Indeed. Bellow again the reportage from light to avaiable light (only light in nocturne street). To come up again W. E. Smith: What uses having a great "more pixel in camera" if there is not an adequate depth of feeling?” Sorry for Italians speaker. To bellow image full resolution

Olympus Camedia Point & Shoot Wz 5060



Olympus Camedia Wz 5060 camera (it was also used by Magnum reporter Alex Majoli) and files in Jpg format because is optimized; camera allows, however, saving also in Orf the name of Raw compression Olympus, and last but not least recording in Tiff format. I'm a craftsman photographer expertise by more half century of...photograph.





Two volumes of text (Restivo) & images (Annunziata/Manunzio) reproduced with a “tiny” Pont&Shoot that seems irreverent to say if in comparison other cameras equipped a tons of pixels. However, it is the printed results, in case a classical analog offset, that disprove clichés of Carousel called Market that has (all) brand names on its payroll and many "doctor" by fanzine websites Youtube.

Another brick in the...wall




Like the previous (see above Mondo Epson and Impossible is nothing) the substantiating evidence that even a camera point & shoot (with only two milion of pixel!) is capable to win a match in offset printing. In this case the photo-lithographer is keystone for a good (reasonable) process of printing.
