[vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1707395559826{margin-right: 50px !important;}”]That Friday evening was dragging on like so many others in the predictable boredom of sluggish exhaustion of sensational, vaguely revolutionary, minimally amusing or sensational ideas to discuss among friends; to act for.<\/p>\n

When Roberto stealthily handed me a strange casing: “Are you interested?” A \u201cthing\u201d enclosed in a leatherette case. At first glance, bulky and cumbersome.<\/p>\n

Telling me, he didn’t know what to do with that insipid fatherly gift. If I had given him seventy thousand lire he would have given it to me. With concern I began to turn it over and over in my hands.<\/p>\n

Observing it with growing curiosity; understanding its mechanisms, movements and knobs. After a short while, I managed to open the hatch, revealing the frosted glass of the viewer with the frame inside. Suddenly the world appeared to me dotted with unusual symmetries.<\/p>\n

I said: \u201cOkay!\u201d. Then I got up and left the now asphyxia company of friends. I went out onto Viale Venezia which stretched out deserted into the late night, holding the “thing” in my hands.<\/p>\n

With my head bent over the cockpit, walking blindly back and forth, I began to frame and shoot. Even though there was no film in the film chamber. It was called YASHICA MAT124G: my first challenging camera.<\/p>\n

And Brescia, its streets, its suburbs, its perimetral and soul metamorphosis of those years, were the places where my photographic passion began. It was the spring of 1974. A place and a time that couldn\u2019t not have a particular tribute.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_btn title=”Back” color=”black” size=”sm” i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-arrow-alt-circle-left” add_icon=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.andreacalestani.it%2Fen%2Fanalogic-archive%2F|”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_masonry_media_grid grid_id=”vc_gid:1707395822732-69d8896362a705972057a26bedab4fa1-8″ include=”1192,1168,1169,1170,1171,1172,1173,1174,1175,1176,1177,1178,1179,1180,1181,1182,1183,1184,1185,1186,1187,1188,1189,1190,1191″ css=”.vc_custom_1707396031122{border-top-width: 3px !important;border-right-width: 3px !important;border-bottom-width: 3px !important;border-left-width: 3px !important;border-left-color: #ffffff !important;border-left-style: initial !important;border-right-color: #ffffff !important;border-right-style: initial !important;border-top-color: #ffffff !important;border-top-style: initial !important;border-bottom-color: #ffffff !important;border-bottom-style: initial !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
