A bit early to be thinking of Christmas presents, I know, but I’m toying with the idea of creating a calendar of my home town of Cesena in Emilia-Romagna with a photo of a different roundabout for every month.
These would be two of the twelve – one is dedicated after Maria Callas, the other has an idealised country scene.
This photo speaks volumes about the true nature of family life.
I love the demonic grin of the very awake baby.
Perhaps he’s the one who caused the state of exhaustion.
The paws look harmless enough, but looks can be deceiving.
The black cat that inhabits my household is a hunter by nature so no ornament is safe.
He’s now taken to pulling pictures down from the walls when he wants attention.
His name his Von, named by my daughter after the Sigur Rós album.
The word means ‘hope’ in Icelandic – örvænta (despair) would have been more appropriate!
This wonderful photograph is called Luna Dusk Silhouette. It was taken by Erin Joy, the talented and beautiful wife of my nephew, Simon.
The photo is one of the contenders in the WILD Competition. Vote for it if you like it and check out the other great shots.
All the prints are also available to buy with all proceeds going to the international charity PhotoVoice which designs and delivers “participatory photography projects for marginalised and vulnerable communities” in the hope that the people they work with will “find the confidence to speak out about their challenges, strengths, hopes and fears and create tools that can be used to advocate for positive social change”.
