Photogenic Italy – A Tuscan Doorway

Here’s a photograph I took from my summer trip to Tuscany to help brighten up those winter blues a little.  It’s not the photograph displayed next to this entry if you have come to the home page of BlogfromItaly.com, just in case you were wondering.

Hope you like it. For the technically minded, it was shot in RAW and then processed into .jpg via the interesting DxO Optics Pro 6 RAW processing program.  The camera was a Canon Eos 40d.

I’m quite happy with the end result.

SEE HOW IT WORKS

I have other images lurking on my hard drive, and some should find their way here, or to my Flickr account.

Photography is a hobby of mine which I don’t have enough time to dedicate to, alas.

Long live digital cameras!

Education Does not Benefit Democracy in Italy

Italy has a problem. Beautiful, creative minds are leaving the Living Museum in droves. Italy is aware of this issue, but, in the Italian way, is either not doing much about it, or is sweeping the matter under the carpet. At the end of the day though, for Italy’s political classes, Italy’s educated classes don’t really count. Actually, they don’t really exist, and for some, this is just fine.

Yes, it’s sad but true that in Italy (and not only Italy) the greater your education, the lower the effective value of your vote.
