Old sailor
Photo © Goran PopovicIt is hard not to love this portrait of an old sailor. The way he holds his hands, his eyes...the overall expression. - Mr Urbano
Goran Popovic was born in 1964 and lives in Subotica, Serbia. You have met him as an online exhibitor on 591 Photography.

591 reportage - Genova Pride
SEE the full reportage "Genova Pride"There has been a national day held in Genoa. The Genova Pride. I assume that the chosen name was not openly declared as Gay Pride because of the supposed cultural closure of Genoa inhabitants, or probably because the word gay is too narrow for that pride reality.
The day has been like a great happy moment for everybody. There were many people of different associations on big trucks with music but also in the street with their placards, flags, funny dresses or just simply walking along. But also a lot of average families with mothers fathers and children were out in the streets following them.
There has been a lot of music and happy moments, a crowd of more than 100.000 persons inside or outside the manifestation made the City of Genova a center of cultural aperture. Those who were prejudiced about the manifestation, they had different ideas while walking in the streets.
At the end it has been a day of positive feelings that kept everybody a bit closer to the others. The whole comprehensive love.

Hard times
Photo © TsienniI am glad to see Tsienni participate in the summer exhibition. Although I have never met him, seeing his photographs is like meeting a citizen of the world. He speaks Chinese, English, French, Swedish and Hebrew - he is also covering subjects involving many different cultures and ethnic groups. In a way, he is telling me that the world is one.
In this portrait of a woman looking out from a window, I have tried to figure out what the letters mean and I came up with (after some googling) Cracovia (a Polish football-team from Kraków). Perhaps Adam can help me out with this. - Mr Urbano
You should have a look at Tsienni's blog where I found an interesting article called "My new Baby" ( Hello Mr Björkbom, you should read this)

Praying
Photo © Sanna SjöswärdThe photo depicts Bahareh praying during The Persian New Year (Nouroz). Bahareh is the niece of Farzaneh (Sanna is called Farzaneh when she is with her family in Tehran). I met Sanna Sjöswärd a couple of weeks ago to talk about her book "My Mother is a Persian Princess". It was a memorable meeting. You will hear more about our conversation soon on 591. This portrait is a favourite of mine. - Mr Urbano

Leonel clown doing Magic in a Metro Station, Mexico City
Photo: Alberto E. Barajas C (Tito Barajas)Continuing the Magical Mystery Tour from yesterday to meet a street magician (they are the best aren't they?). I like the orange and blue in the picture and my focus is shifting from the eyes of Leonel to the red balls in his hand (I guess that is part of his magic) - Mr Urbano

I Am the Eggman
Photo © Stanley Fefferman"Sitting in an english garden waiting for the sun.
If the sun don't come, you get a tan
From standing in the english rain.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen."
You have probably heard the song recorded by The Beatles. Mr Fefferman has made a very charming self-portrait and the title is just perfect. I love it. - Mr Urbano
Stanley Fefferman lives in Toronto, Canada. He writes reviews about classical music and takes pictures too.

Kelmis - Centro Habana, Cuba, 2009
Photo © Francisco Mata RosasIt is an amazing portrait, very original. The portrayed man really seems to enjoy rings, bracelets, watches and wildly coloured patterns. In all this generous display of objects that he is wearing it is a kind of relief to see his naked belly and his smile, telling us that there is a man behind all the glamour. - Mr Urbano
Francisco Mata rosas is one of Mexico's most important contemporary photographers. He was born in México City, 1958. Mata Rosas work have been exposed all over the world and he is the author of several books. We will get to know him even better in the coming months on 591 Photograhpy.
