 "IMAGES" PHOTOGRAPHIC ART GALLERY
Newsletter
July 2020
|
| Dear friends, Welcome to my "PHOTOBLOG" Newsletter, a monthly publication which is being sent to clients and friends, to keep them updated on my current photographic interests, new works and future developments. My goal is to format the Newsletter around a short series of images, which I will try to describe briefly, so that important or interesting details will be easily available to the viewer. Most of the imagery displayed here will also be on view at " IMAGES" Photographic Art Gallery, located at 14406 Detroit road in beautiful Downtown Lakewood,and I would be happy to extend to all an invitation to stop by sometime for a visit. As always, I will appreciate your comments and suggestions pertaining to my work, and, should you enjoy these images, please feel free to share the"PHOTOBLOG" with friends and others as well; anyone interested in my work could be easily added to my distribution list by contacting me at mellino1974@sbcglobal.net
or
by visiting at www.mellinophotography.com.

 This month
"PHOTOBLOG" Newsletter shares with you a series of images from several distant and nearby venues, as we all gradually and very carefully "open up" again to life and living somewhat normally...this has been a very trying time for all humanity, with suddenly a new, confusing world developing in front of our eyes, filled with fears, treats and death. I can hardly believe that the necessary changes in behavior and life style were for the most part easily accepted and implemented by all, no matter where "home" was: everyone suddenly seem to listen and accept the new "normal" ( at least for a while...), as the outside world suddenly became unpredictable and really dangerous!
However, the show MUST go on, as they say in show business...life resumes, people have or are adjusting and are ready to walk out the door, into this new world we at times can hardly recognize...mistakes were made and will be made again, yet we all need to learn and behave accordingly, hopefully...
These images all lack people: will this be the way humanity will need to "live" in this new world? No one knows for how long we will need to "socially" distance: socialization has always been key to our existence, but, is life without it possible to LIVE ?
"See" you around, hopefully...!

|   The narrow bridge into Civita di Bagnoregio, an ancient Italian village dating to the 1200's, now almost abandoned by all: its inhabitants are only 12, plus several donkeys and few dogs! A spectacular site to visit, although a bit difficult to reach.
Below, Umbrian mountains after a morning rain, with dense fog gradually evaporating.
