And the winner of this months Owner’s photo competition goes to Lionel Pottier, Saint-Hilaire, France.
Lionel is a repeat winner… and this shot couldn’t be more different from his past images, here he demonstrates his keen eye for details.
This shot will immediately put a smile on the faces of many, who are familiar with Italian lifestyle… in this image there’s almost everything: the combination between different times and additions of our History and Architecture, the chronic lack of money to repair and fix our immense Heritage patrimony and…, of course, unhelpful road directions. As we said before, Lionel proved once again he has a very good eye and quick in getting “that” detail that makes this one such a great photo.
Bravo!
Each month one high-resolution photo will be chosen and circulated electronically; from now on the winner will fittingly be presented with a copy of the renowned American photographer Leonard Freed’s photo book IO AMO L’ITALIA. Freed’s exhibition Io amo L’italia was held during 2012 in Milan, Rome and Turin and well supported by both critics and the general public. Leonard Freed once referred to his relationship with Italy as a “love story”. This passion reaches back a long way, beyond his career in photography, to his first interest in the medium, which began on his initial trip to Europe in 1952.
