1964. My originals
Leonardo Benevolo layout

I had the pleasure of having my first photos published in 1964,
in Leonardo Benevolo Storia dell'architettura del Rinascimento (Laterza)
and in several books of Paolo Portoghesi on Roman Baroque architecture.
I was 20 years old, and just a student of Architecture.
So 2004 is a kind of 40th birthday of my architectural photography period.

(Two superwide shots of Bernini Baldacchino in San Pietro, Rome.
As Benevolo said, Baroque photos of a Baroque object.)

exif
Exakta Varex IIb ,Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 20mm f/4
8 sec f/8, Agfapan 25 ISO developed in Tetenal Neofin Blau

(and yes, I remember the exif by heart)

Many decades later, visiting the Roman Catholic Basilica in Montréal Québec Canada
which is a replica (Baldacchino included) of St. Peter's in Rome I had a vision...

I hear slug is going to use the PBase profits to build another replica in Chapel Hill, North Carolina with a painting of you on the ceiling. It'll be next door to the McDonalds.

Great images and I like how they are layed out next to each other in a kaleidoscopic manner, with the central arch. Lots to see.
And congratulations on getting into print so early!!

Happy " birth " celebration, Adal...how things have changed, yet some don't...like this glorious architecture.

Superb pictures for one so young. Always knew you were a genius!

(My parents used to tell me of life in 1964! - bit before my time. LOL)

Troisième fois, I am afraid ;-)))

moi c'est maintenant que j'apprécie d'avoir 20 ans ;-)
car, lorsqu'on les a une deuxième fois on est plus expérimenté pour en mesurer la valeur!

Now you're just showing off! ;-D

Good for you, Adal. Teach us young whippersnappers a lesson in how it's done! N

I always find great inspiration in seing the work of experienced photographers... especially ones with 40 years in the field! (having been into this whole thing for something more than 2 years - yeah I admit it... I'm a newbie) The photos look very interesting and I love the way ou have presented them here... but still I would love to see some good quality scans (pretty please!) Happy "birth"day Adal
