Venezia getting ready for Christmas

noreply@blogger.com (BeppeRdam) — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 00:44:00 +0000

Walking around Venice in the days before Christmas is wonderful. The usual turists crowd is gone, the city is quite, relaxing and beautiful. But what is special about this period, it is the atmosphere all around, everybody is getting everything they need to prepare the best meals of the year. Shortly after my walk, people will be home cooking the traditional dishes for the traditional families reunions and you could fell all the excitments of those days by just being there.

My new Canon EOS 50D

noreply@blogger.com (BeppeRdam) — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 09:54:00 +0000

This year is came to visit me a bit earlier and he brought the new Canon EOS 50D since I've been such a good boy this year.
I didn't have much time to really enjoy the new gear, I just managed a short walk around to start familiarizing with it.
It is too early to have a real opinion but for sure the 50D is far much better than my EOS 400D.
I read many critics on 50D, I will see in few weeks if I will agree or not. So far it doesn't look as bad as reported on the web.

Erasmusbrug, the nowadays image of Rotterdam.
As all on suspended bridges, the wires seems perfectly straight but infact they are not.

only images

noreply@blogger.com (BeppeRdam) — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 20:41:00 +0000

Yes! No more words here any more.
From today I've decided to start a new blog for my words and dedicate this one only to my phographs.
It is quite a challenge, I hope I will be able to manage two blogs but I wanted a place for words only.
On the other hand, I don't think here there is much need of words which sometimes can be an element of distraction.
Infact images do not really need much more than two eyes looking at them.

So if you are curiuos about my words you can always pay a visit to

just b&w

noreply@blogger.com (BeppeRdam) — Sun, 25 May 2008 20:02:00 +0000

Here it was a grey and raining day, even if it should be almost summer.
What a better opportunity to process some pictures in b&w showing the good mood.
When the sun shall shine again than all the beautiful colors shall be here again, for now let's be a bit grey and sad but always ready for the happiness.
I love b&w photography but I cannot see any joy in it and maybe that's the real reason of my love for it.

cities details

noreply@blogger.com (BeppeRdam) — Sat, 24 May 2008 07:17:00 +0000

I consider cities very attactive destinations, every building is for me a piece of art even if not designed by famous architects. Construction itself is an art.
But details are the nicest part of architectur; while the big and famuous buildings are obvious and celebrated, the little pieces of art spread around cities are the most intersting ones.
Rotterdam is an achitecture museum under the sky, if you like the art of building this city is your place expecially if you love details.
Rotterdam is definetly my place.

street art?

noreply@blogger.com (BeppeRdam) — Mon, 19 May 2008 07:08:00 +0000

Couple of decades ago, graffiting was considered just a vandalic act, a crime.
During the years, graffiti slowly stated to be seen as something more than vandalism and nowadays it is a cultural phenomenon, a form of art and expression.
I agree on the new approch but I don't think it is applicable always and everywhere.
While some graffiti are real pieces of art, capable to add beauty to our boring metropolis, others are still pure vandalic acts.
In particular, all graffiti sprayed on exisitng art ( such ashistorical buildings, sculptures, modern and classic architectures,...) must be considered vandalism, a crime.
A real artist always respect the work of others even when disliking it.
On top of that, there are too many sprayers without talent, who use sprays for fun and definetly they cannot considered artists but maybe also not criminals.

breakfast in Antwerp

noreply@blogger.com (BeppeRdam) — Sat, 17 May 2008 17:12:00 +0000

Antwerp is a wonderful city, very elegant, there you can really enjoy shopping much more than in The Netherlands.
But where Antwerp is really beating Rotterdam is in dining. You find restaurants, bars, bistro, everywhere and all of them have something different to offer. It is an orgy of eating and drinking with pleasure.
One of the best thing is that you can have a wonderful breakfast almost everywhere just on the way to work, excellent!!!
Try to do the same in Rotterdam and than let me know.
Everytime I visit Antwerp I feel a bit closer to Italy, there I can find the same pleasure for food and beauty which I miss here in The Netherlands.
My suggestion? Just go to Antwerp for a nice breakfast and enjoy the city

Rotterdam and bridges

noreply@blogger.com (BeppeRdam) — Tue, 13 May 2008 12:49:00 +0000

Rotterdam, as almost every Dutch city, has an uncountable number of bridges. Erasmusbrug and Willemsbrug are the main ones. They beautiful piece of engineering and architecture, they are vital for the traffic. But Ersamusbrug in particular has a downside, it opens!
While it is marvelous to watch the bridge opening, when you are stopped in the car, waiting for a sailing boat to pass, all is much less wonderful. Unfortunately I have to cross Erasmusbrug everyday and almost everyday it opens when I'm right on it.
Still I love Rotterdam and its bridges.
