Beside being pretty busy in these days I had to face, once again, how bad people can be.
It’s not the usual complaint of a student, here a young woman is talking.
I just hope I’m wrong in this case, otherwise, it is all so terrible and frustrating.
The best thing I can do now is just praying for this world…
That’s one of my fovorite shot taken at the Meeting of Rimini (2010).
This man was reading (almost) each pannel of the “Gdańsk 1980. Solidarność“
To visit the exhibition (if it wasn’t clear that’s the aspect of the Meeting in Rimini I love more) there are 2 main ways:
- in group where there is a man-woman that expose you the different pannels
- doing a solo tour
There are other ways, like: a friend of mine is one of the guide, let’s visit the exhibition in a fast way that doesn’t disturb other groups but I still have the pannels explained. But, that’s not a common way 
A friend of mine.
Her husband, in the moment I was taking this picture, was taking part to the presentation of one of the exhibition at the Meeting in Rimini (“Flannery O’Connor: The Infinite Measure of Limitation”). I think he cured that exhibition too.
I didn’t got to listen to this talk with the intetion of taking pictures, I was just being curious.
Having the chance to sit in those halls during an event like that is pretty difficult, therefore I was really surprised to discover that I happen to be sitting only a few row behind my friend. This unplanned “favored” position gave me the chance to observe my friend without disturbing her. I could see a silent and nice expression of love of a wife for her husband. I think she was being pretty pride of him, since she shot a lot of pictures (as well as I’d have done if there was my boyfriend talking there).
But something amazed me more: the silent and kind way she did everything.
I was surprised that she didn’t even get up in order to take pictures from another angle; even if she might have disturbed for a few seconds people sitting behind her, I think she had the right of doing it, but, she simply didn’t.
She just took those pictures in that simple and kind way, and that’s probably the reason why it was a really tender and amazing “event in the event”.
you would like to smash everything around you, but…
I don’t really want to get break things around me, actually I don’t even like the idea.
I just want to understand how human mind works and how getting back my student skills
Mysteries of life.
My boyfriend playing with the different wave length you can get by plucking the cord (which length can be change) of a monochord.
Among the pictures I’ve taken at The Meeting in Rimini, that’s one of my favorite shots.
Listening to” is one of the main activities among people going to the meeting of Rimini.
This activity is probably more frequent among the youngest ones, whose older relatives and friends tell them those information that a normal visit to an exhibition cannot provide (due to understandable reasons).
The webmaster sees a face in these “smoke” clouds, but it wasn’t of course what caught my attention.
I just wanted to take a picture of the woman in one of those shops where you can get food at the Meeting of Rimini.
I think they are good resons to stop using the computer for a day.
Me: Hey webmaster, do you think I should start using my tele lens?
Webmaster: Mh, dunno…
Me: Nah… we are in a hurry and. Hey! Wait, let’s sit here.
Webmaster: What did you see?… The little girl on the other side of the pool?
Me: Yeah, but by the time I change lens she might decide to stop playing. I won’t use the tele lens, let’s what can I get… isn’t the reflection on the water amazing?
Webmaster: Yeah.
Few seconds later the little girl “lost” her ball and it started floating on the water moving toward the centre of the pool.
She wanted to “catch it” but she couldn’t and stood at the edge with the sweetest worried expression I had ever seen.
Her brother (I think they were sibiling) got close to help her catching the ball, but the wind made it “run” toward another side of the pool… they runned as well along the edge of the pool.
The ball reache the point where 2 women were sitting and one of them took the ball and gave it back to the girl who went back playing with the ball, away from the pool.
That’s just one of those little nice good stories you can “see” at the Meeting of Rimini.
