TITLE: Castello Odescalchi in the afternoon fog

this black and white picture is really strange and unespected. For me, because I usually prefer coloured pictures and for the place.
Infact the Castello Odescalchi is the most and ancient buinding in Bracciano, a famous old and nice village, lying over the Lake of Bracciano. A very "rich of colours" panorama, with the blue of the lake and the sky, the white of the swans, the green of the trees and the grass, the red and the yellow of the houses. But yesterday, magically, the view ws black an white. this photograph has not been retouched or modified because I hate photoshop or any other kind of similar programs. for me photography is "hic et nunc" (from the Latin language) "here and now" : pics fix the moment, leaving the observer free to imagine the after and the before.

I am an Italian journalist involved in social arguments. My job is specifically press office. I like take pictures since I was very young. I am very proud for my first exhibition, named "Emotions from the lake" that took place in Trevignano Romano, a nice village over the Lake of Bracciano a few weeks ago. this picture is for me probably the first black and white one . btu the unespected situation forced me to take this kind of pic
