Black & White

Hey guys!
I have to confess that when I started this blog I wasn’t sure if I would have enough posts to pick your attention. But when a girl like me meets a new place, I have to explore every-single detail! It’s been fantastic searching for new places and scan the American lifestyle.
Thank you for being part of my journey here!

So, for this post, I would like to drag you to a different neighborhood: Manchester, which is located on the north side of James river. Manchester used to be an active port where tobacco and coal were shipped out and a great number of slave ships entered.
It’s a place with a lot of mills, railroads and nice and huge metal structures. it seems to me it's the perfect place to shoot in black&white, isn't it?
I don’t usually shoot in B&W...I hope I did a good job. Do you like it? ;)

a special place..

Death is a delicate subject; it happens to everyone, yet we rarely discuss it. Gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, political preferences or social status are irrelevant. Bottom line: we all die.
My journey here in the U.S., away from my family and friends, is giving me extra time to think… I've been thinking about my beloved ones and how much I miss them and also about my life: what I built so far and what I'm able to do in the future – and yes, it's quite stressful. But you know, sometimes you need to put your life in perspective and check if you are living it the way you want or if you are following the right path…
Last weekend, I went to an ancient cemetery, dated 1849, here in Richmond. It’s a big, big rural garden with a lot of holly trees, that’s why is called Hollywood Cemetery. The cemetery is placed on a hill and it has a magnificent view of the river. wow! It was a great day for meditation...

FALL-ing in love with details

Imagine that you have a piece of art in front of you. You are the type of person that loves to look at details? Or the big picture is really what matters?
Well, unless you see the details, you won’t get to see what the big picture is made of. Besides, unless we step back and occasionally look at the big picture, we would never know if the details we see were able to make a better sense.
That's why I think you always need both.
Now that you've already step back to see the big picture, get closer (really close, sometimes) to see the details! and breathe the Autumn :)
