Marta Rocks

m a r t a c o m browse Marta Rocks picturesMarta.com,created by photographer Marta Barceló, is a tremendous collection of portraits and landscapes…full of vibrant colours and striking imagery…I am a firm believer that it is very difficult for a photographer to be great at both capturing emotion evoking portraiture and timeless landscapes..however, Marta clearly displays this rare ability…Marta writes, “I’ve been taking pictures since I can remember, but I got my first SLR camera back in ’98 (A Nikon F70). I made the switch to digital in 2004 with a Nikon D70 and currently I mostly use a Nikon D200. Photography is a hobby but I also do it for work related projects. I pretty much take pictures of everything trying to save those special moments, details, colors, lights, situations and places from the world around me. Sometimes it works out better than others icon smile Marta Rocks pictures You can find a mix of my pictures on this photoblog, mostly children portraits and landscape shots but not only that.”

Someone Once Told Me – Mario Cacciottolo

sotm Someone Once Told Me   Mario Cacciottolo picturesSomeone Once Told Me is an unique, humorous, thought provoking, but also interesting photo blog /social commentary by photographer Mario Cacciottolo, who writes…

“I came up with SOTM by accident – during an e-mail exchange with a friend at work in November 2006, she wrote me a reply, which I read, and then suddenly had a vision of her holding a board, upon which was written part of her message.

It was so strong an image that I can still see it now. But then, about two seconds later, I thought that, rather than having her own words displayed in such a manner, it would be more interesting to have her write down something that someone had told her. I don’t know why, but it seemed like a cool idea.”

We are all shaped by the things that someone once told us. The words we hear impact on us, whether we want them to or not, and it’s undeniable that they have a power.

Someone Once Told Me is essentially a means for me to practise my photography and to give me something to do on my days off as I wander around London, which always feels full of possibilities.

But SOTM is also an attempt to gather and chronicle some of the things that people have heard in their lives, the messages and expressions that have stuck in people’s head, for reasons both obvious and odd.”
