There is art in the quiet and peacefulness of everyday life. Photography like life can be simple and not complex. Photography and life may also be the opposite.

It consists of 2 fences with a safety service road in between. There is no barbed wire, and it is intended to make people who want to enter the U.S. to go to the gates, show identification, and enter properly. Besides the obvious Mexicans, persons from almost every country have been caught trying to enter here. For example people from Central and South America, China, Indonesia, Iraq, Iran, and Africa have been detained here trying to enter illegally. http://www.minardi-photo.com/gallery/CUBA-HOY 64724f23096383684c28ba1fce2d1697 Sun, 12 Apr 2009 18:30:55 -0400 http://www.minardi-photo.com/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=CUBA-HOY http://www.minardi-photo.com/albums/CUBA-HOY/Che_wall_painting_EPV1993.thumb.jpg http://www.minardi-photo.com/albums/CUBA-HOY/Che_wall_painting_EPV1993.sized.jpg http://www.minardi-photo.com/albums/CUBA-HOY/Che_wall_painting_EPV1993.thumb.jpg 96 144 My trip to Cuba came about by special permission from both governments to visit some of my relatives from my Mother's side of my family.

This special Exhibit required 2.5 years of photography plus 6 months of computer work. The photographs record Florida's historic buildings, sporting events, tourist attractions, industry and agriculture. Mr. Minardi initially takes a 35 mm slide of a scene and then reproduces the slide by means of a computer that uses laser light sources and computer control programs. The process allows him to manipulate the colors of the photograph, thereby creating whimsical, dynamic or unnatural images. By changing the images color scheme, he alters our understanding of the scene represented. The computer becomes another tool for creative expression. Minardi relates his use of the camera and film to a painter's paintbrush and palette, explaining, "I paint with light." http://www.minardi-photo.com/gallery/portfolios bf1bd160c06429b4108e5af4350edf7d Thu, 28 Feb 2008 00:29:09 -0500 http://www.minardi-photo.com/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=portfolios http://www.minardi-photo.com/albums/sports/BearsQB_lrg.thumb.jpg http://www.minardi-photo.com/albums/sports/BearsQB_lrg.sized.jpg http://www.minardi-photo.com/albums/sports/BearsQB_lrg.thumb.jpg 96 144 http://www.minardi-photo.com/gallery/eastwing a769f6d9a9aabdb609cff468717e3c36 Thu, 28 Feb 2008 00:29:08 -0500 http://www.minardi-photo.com/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=eastwing http://www.minardi-photo.com/albums/mentor/men2.thumb.jpeg http://www.minardi-photo.com/albums/mentor/men2.sized.jpeg http://www.minardi-photo.com/albums/mentor/men2.thumb.jpeg 95 144 http://www.minardi-photo.com/gallery/armylife dd323ea77c8032a6b2c755a8a2bc900d Thu, 28 Feb 2008 00:29:08 -0500 http://www.minardi-photo.com/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=armylife http://www.minardi-photo.com/albums/armylife/028_25A.thumb.jpg http://www.minardi-photo.com/albums/armylife/028_25A.sized.jpg http://www.minardi-photo.com/albums/armylife/028_25A.thumb.jpg 96 144 http://www.minardi-photo.com/gallery/westwing eaed53498f6b8a911795c9f42521c5f3 Thu, 28 Feb 2008 00:29:08 -0500 http://www.minardi-photo.com/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=westwing http://www.minardi-photo.com/albums/sepia/14_G.thumb.jpg http://www.minardi-photo.com/albums/sepia/14_G.sized.jpg http://www.minardi-photo.com/albums/sepia/14_G.thumb.jpg 102 144
