Souls.. Photo Gallery by silvia marmori at pbase.com

Souls..

"You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body." CS Lewis

An attempt to discover that beyond different cultures, enviromments, hopes or adversities, the soul is one, same in its being.
The soul that we are, the one we perceive in all that surrounds us..
The essence that makes us human..

(and then, a real "headache" for me, i don't want to ask people to model, or let them see i am shooting, i like spontaneity...
and if i do in hidden way, i feel like a thief, stealing them that little instant of their soul)

Guest		29-Sep-2007 00:10
I really relate to what you say at the top here about not liking to photograph people and having the sense that you are steeling something from them. I have only recently gotten a bit braver, or more brash perhaps, when it comes to shooting people on the street, but I am still constantly debating the ethics of shooting people without their knowledge or without asking them. Sometimes I feel like I am exploiting people and I really hate bothering anyone in general, so it is hard to make the right decisions, but at the same time, I feel like it is a shame not to capture something special if I see it before me. But anyway, you have definitely captured a lot of special images here. Very admirable work. I think your subjects are elevated through your frames.

Guest		28-Sep-2007 05:43
Originality, skill, talent -- is what sets this apart from the rest.

These images make the heart ache, make the heart sing. All speak eloquently of the dignity we all possess, inherently, and the pervading strength that runs through each individual day of each individual person. In these moments we may find our own loneliness, our own fear, our own fearless faces in the relentless march of time. V
