Another leaving day

Welcome mat, Yau Ma Tei, Hong Kong, December 2009

This photo has been taken in front of a flat in Hong Kong of a very good Nordic friend some days before leaving to my trip in South Asia.

Today is another leaving day being about to leave my hometown near Venice to be back in Milan and move to Copenhagen.

Today I decided to be a bit back to the traditional narrative cut adding to my photos more text. It comes after a reading of "Diario Minimo" of Umberto Eco and a nice conversation with a friend along the swimming pool in a boiling summer Sunday afternoon. Considering that the viewer plays a dominant role in interpreting pictures, it has to be guided by the author in order not to mislead its intention. Otherwise, the observer would create its own image of the world exploiting the depicted one. Moreover, I am going to use more this blog as a personal diary on my life in Denmark.

My last dinner in Hong Kong with my soul and art mate in the time spent there. I will always be so grateful to him for the quality time spent together, for our growing up moment, for the travel, for the fun, for our weird stories, for everything. A true friend in such a little time. Telling me that he might come to visit at the end of June changed my end of May in a better way.

American vintage girl

Alaina

Each time I saw this american girl was a flashback in my beloved 60s. Sharing artistic passions and time with her, being the main character in her short film made me grow spiritually, mentally and sentimentally in someways. Post producing this photo, I wanted to contribute to her nostalgic and colourful essence and recalling in someways the Lomo-Holga effect. This matches perfectly to the fact that this photo was shot in Hong Kong, where Lomo has been created. -Shek O, Hong Kong, November 2009
