This is one of my favorite two pages in my photobook project. (click the image to enlarge it). It is a photo of the carpenter that we visited and I have written a story to go along with the two photographs. The story is below:
"The photography class decided to take a stroll through the Roman neighborhoods one day. We were on a hunt for light and how to best capture it. I guess the sunlight led us right to the front door of this carpenter’s shop.
This carpenter kindly let us into his small workshop. At first sight, it appeared like chaos. There were chairs hung on the walls, nailed scattered on the floor and tools that your average Joe hasn’t even heard of. A person can walk into this kind of shop and instantly feel like they are a part of the chaos. However, a photographer can walk into this shop and will feel at ease... because they know that photography is turns chaos into beauty.
The carpenter pulled out an old photo that was captured in the very spot I stood in. This photograph does a wonderful job of capturing the choas in such a beautiful way. In the photo, there is stuff everywhere. But it is the subject - the carpenter himself who brings a certain peace to the image. His smile illuminates the photograph in a way normal light cannot come close to."
