Street Photography
Inspirations in Sicily
My last visit to Sicily was quite an inspirational one for the colours that we found there were mind boggling. The diversity of subjects was just great even though Malta happens to be just a few Kilometres away the subjects varied widely. I have been captured by this technique with camera in motion to create surreal patterns from static subjects, not to forget symmetrical ones too.
These are some of the shots taken during a 4 day trip with some other photographer friends at MIPP and partners.

The Food Chain
Strolling through Marsaxlokk this morning I could not miss the whole process of the catch, the delivery, the cleaning then the selling, Maybe tonight I’ll get the eating 
. well what am I talking about is simply the whole process of catching the fish, delivering it, then displaying it and the rest of the cycle. Other than that the realities of life and the clear apparent arrival of the most sacred summer with all its niceties and prevalent complaints of the irresistible heat.
-
- A process of shifting, turning and untangling the net, a long process to test your patience.
-
- I strolled up and down the market looking for ideas and here I found this frame composed of all sorts of stuff, however giving that strong sensation of summer and protection from the sun.
-
- After going through the market I could not miss to realize the process at which I was so exposed to, the catch, the nets, the boats, the washing then the cleaning and the selling process.
-
- I was stopped from taking this shot, as if the fish had to have a model release form, or maybe due to the gruesome vision.
-
- If my escape could on ly be so simple
-
- I rest in the sun, scorching myself awaiting for the next day to come for today my job is done.
-
- In the verge of a new service which we all hope to have as soon as possible I could not fail to mention that for every gain ther eis a loss and for this I could not miss the fact that the mass production and standardization of the new buses that all look the same and color we will miss those individual characters of the maltese buses that all look different and have their own character.

When they all go to bed
The sun goes down, the moon takes its place, the streets calm down, the worker goes home to rest, everything else is abandoned to its destiny, there is where darkness light and shadows pop out with a profusion of aspects of everyday life. There is where reality hits hard the repetition of the system shows its drastic effect of time and adaptation to the normalities of the sequence.
-
- The Balcony kept in place by the seven strengths.
-
- The sun goes down, the moon rises, the streets are silent, where are they now.
-
- They creep when darkness falls, they climb from the roots beneath the ground, damn shadows.
-
- The clear and evident marks of use and misuse of this door attracted me to amplify the effects of repetitve use of onjects in the material world.
-
- The features on this wall, the little door, the shutters almost closed but not, the position of the lamp post and the way it was shedding the light on the subject.
-
- The elements of life and their drastic effect of whats around us.
Winds of Change in Valletta
Valletta at the moment looks like a war zone, and just before anyone makes too many permanent changes I visit the capital city of Malta more than a few times always focusing on different aspects and architectural specialities of this living museum. I focused this time on current changes including the transportation system and the walls that surround the city.
The Timelapse Experiment
Whilst driving around after midnight I stationed at each intersection I found and took some video for my time-lapse experiment. I could not miss out on some long exposures at these points and this is the result. It was the beginning of the weekend so most of the roads were quite busy, and that kept me happy.
Playing in Darkness
Playing in night time when darkness falls with available lighting, making the best out the situation.
Paris
Paris is one of the cities I will definitely never forget. The architecture, the streets and the history gave me enough subject to ho haywire. I focused mainly on street photography and Paris is full of character for this. Grabbing all sorts of subjects and give my attention to a variety of inspirations from buildings to people running in the streets, to cemeteries. Paris gave me so much energy and hope to give it back through an exhibition or audio visual.
In the streets of the world
Running around in the streets of London, Valletta, Florence,Valle D Ledro and Marsaxlokk.
