ステイトメント/STATEMENT
---モノトーンの光の中から---
写真を始めてから40数年の間に仕事やプライベートで30数カ国を旅してきましたが、漠然とした憧れをいだきながらも何故かイタリアには訪れる機会がありませんでした。
ようやく2009年にミラノ、ヴェネツィア、フィレンツェなど北部と中部の美しい街を巡ることができ、それ以来すっかりイタリアの魅力に取り憑かれてしまいました。
数々の歴史を刻み込んだ建物たち、その間を縫うように走る石畳の通り、そこで出会った人々のくらしや街のにぎわい---忘れることのできない一瞬一瞬を大切にフィルムにおさめました。
愛すべきイタリアの様々な表情からモノトーンの光を捉え、感激と賞賛の気持ちとともにここにお届けいたします。
ーbrilliant in monochromeー
It was almost a mystery to me that I had no opportunities to visit Italy, although I kept a vague desire in mind, in those forty and more years since I started photography while I could see more than thirty countries for both business and personal trips.
In 2009 I finally could travel around northern and central Italy: Milan, Venice, Florence and their vicinities. The beautiful cities fascinated me so deeply. I have been under the spell of Italy’s allure since then.
Blocks of historic edifices and stone paved streets weaving through, people’s daily life and the hustle and bustle of cities—I treasured all unforgettable scenes in black and white films.
I am happy and honored to have this occasion to show you the colorful aspects of Italy I found more vivid in the monochrome prints.
--brillante in monochromo--
Mi risulta alquanto misterioso il fatto di non aver avuto occasione di visitare l’Italia, nonostante che ne avessi avuto un vago desiderio in mente nel corso di oltre 40 anni, a partire da quando ho iniziato la mia attività di fotografo, durante la quale ho avuto modo di visitare più di 30 Paesi, sia per motivi di lavoro che per interessi personali.
Nel 2009 sono finalmente riuscito a viaggiare nell’Italia del nord (Milano e Venezia) e nell’Italia centrale (Firenze e dintorni). Tutte queste belle città mi hanno colpito a un punto tale da essere, fin da allora, totalmente affascinato dall’Italia.
Gli aspetti degli edifici storici, le strade lastricate in pietra che vi passano in mezzo, la vita quotidiana, l’attività frenetica delle città : tutte scene indimenticabili che ho ripreso su pellicola in bianco e nero.
Sono lieto e onorato di aver questa opportunità di mostrarvi gli aspetti pittoreschi dell‘Italia che mi sono sembrati più vividi in stampe monocromatiche.
