testimone del tempo

I often look how quickly can change the image that others have of us in the documents, in family albums , now used less and less because of laziness induced by digital printing and especially in social networks , increasingly showing a new mask , lost in a hectic time and already old from the morning to the night . Continuously we are witnessing the frenzy about people takes thousands of pictures in a few hours , ready to be through it out to hard disc or forget into the card and maybe deleted to let space for other unfortunate pictures. I try to understand how portrait, can be regarded as a "witness of our time" in both personal and social point of view. I thought about that, finding out what is left of this picture, while waiting for the time it erase every trace, in an abandoned house in the center of Sardinia. A few years ago, the portrait was custom identity , to be consumed preferably without an expiration date, it was the subject composure, skill and knowledge on the the photographer.
