Passion, love for photography drove me to embark on
www.daymao.com project.
After several "traditional" exibitions (seven, from 1994 to 2000), I
bought a P.C. in March 2000, getting into the net with my first website
(a collection of pictures from travel experiences I had had in India)
two months later. As for the aesthetic point of view, it was not such
a good trial, anyhow the beginnig of an adventure into an unknown
world. After a slow but constant changhing, here is thelast restyling,
not really a point of arrival, but pleasant enough to be watched and
always renewing. Why daymao? It's the name of one of the main
japanese Manga cartoon's character I look like, according to my friend
Ayumi San I was nicknamed with by. Sections dedicated to East
- India, Thailand & Vietnam and Hong Kong, the last one not yet
on the net - witness my love for those countries and people, my
interest in their culture, religions and doctrines. I've beenstudying
buddhist doctrine and indu religion and practicing Hata Yoga for years.
About India section's images, I didn't mean to tell a story: they
simply are travel memories, instants I fixed into my memory, into my
Heart and on the film.
I got some famous spots pictures in only to make them known by
whom hasn't seen them yet.
The same for Vietnam & Thailand's section.
Not, at the contrary, for Tuscolo's one, a series of images snapped in
1993 that helped me to overcome a pretty hard time of my life
(Taking pictures is useful for that too, in my case).
Venice's section was born for fun, after coming across Nadira Harigue
on the net. As she writes very evocative verse, I porposed her to
write poems; I shotted some pothos referring
to them. Under the photographic point of view, these are not my best
works, but Nadira's verse (I'd want to thank her for her kind and
enthusiastic co-operation)helps my photos to homage Venice and to
suggest people on visiting it.
Friends' section is dedicated to mates (not all of them, because of the space)
I met again during my last trip in India, from January to February
2001, to their frankness, their genuine way to be staying in the world.
I tried to interpretate just this side of their own world and my plain,
perhaps a bit naïf, snaps witness the clear fondness I feel for them.
What is dedicated to Yoga represents, above all,my gratitude to Vijay,
my indian Master, who taught me either yoga or a different way to
face life.
Thanks to Paolo Bonesso, a friend I dropped across in India.
He gave me a hand for daymao project writing India and
Vietnam & Thailand presentations. I wish he had good luck in his
rising carrier as a writer.
Hopefully my images convey you a part of sensations I feel in the
instant, full of promises and magic, that scans every single shot.
