FTB Projekt - Cigana

             


Everything is relative , everything has two sides, poles, opinions . Every coin has a face and a crown .
As a photographer I feel obliged to wear my lenses to denounce. I feel very sad when I meet people in a state of difficulty and social integration. I feel privileged to have a family, a base . I feel embarrassed by these people that did not have the same opportunity as me.
I wonder why. With no doubt I note a flawed, selfish and self-serving system, articulated by the large institutions, politicians and similar. The largest social problem in my view, is the limitation of education and no quality culture at all.
In the case of photography, ( a gypsy begging on the streets of Oslo ) know it is not an injustice .
Starting from the idea that giving is not social work. They say it would not help the Rome integration, education and professionalization . They say they do not accept . They like to live that way, a lifestyle .
I do not know their reality, nor their interests . But it is easy to realize that from the gypsies, and from the integrated society, this is a social problem in different perspectives .

FTB Projekt - Anderson and his daughter.

I grew up in Villa Maria. A simple neighborhood of Lagoa Santa. A town 50 km from the capital of Minas Gerais. Anderson is one of the few childhood friends who are not addicted to crack. He managed to establish, form a family and lead the life in a dignified manner. Here with her sweet daughter on the streets of Vila Maria.

Ftb Project.

Resuming the old techniques, public here and on the blog, the Ftb project.

Canon Ftb is a great analog 35mm camera from the seventies. Much loved by press photographers, for its robustness and the quality of its completely mechanical system.
I recently had the good fortune and opportunity to find a Ftb camera in a fair use. The seller was an elderly gentleman, he owned the camera. Right there at the fair, an investigative climate by my curiosity to know him better merged with euphoria by the Lord to tell me some interesting photo stories. It was an interesting day. I was very happy to hear his experiences.
When closing business, he told me. Take care of her, is part of a long history. Good photos.
I will share with you some stories recorded with this camera. I intend to publish one to three pictures per week. Hope you enjoy! I will be very grateful if you could help me share.

Music for me is a connection channel. It's an amazing experience shooting this context trying to show the melody on an aesthetic level.

My duty to photography; Convey moments of sensitivity with the intention of awakening, criticize, raise awareness and implement experiments. Boy on the train. Belgium.
