entry description
Whith these story I want to tell you about the town of Carrara, its white marble querries and their people. Many years ago the murble blocks brought downstream from querry teams by hands, whith many hard work and risks. Today, every years in Carrara, a querry team make these for an audience, to make know people these reality and to pay tribute to all of men died to work in the Carrara white murble querries. Stress and the maximum concentration during preparation in progress...the adrenalin during execution of work, and happyness when all ended and it went well...these are the feelings and states of mind you can try when you look these performance and you know that many men made these all days in their life, every morning they left their homes at 2.00/3.00 a.m. in the morning, walked on the mountains and made their work and...if it went well, they came back home in the afternoon.about the photographer
