From Elvira:
It isn't simple for me to choose my favourite photograph. I've got so many pictures, andeveryone every/each one reminds me of different moments of my life. So, for this homework, I decided to select one of my last Summer travel holidays. This image was taken 2 months ago (in September 2014). It represents me with my friend Barbara. We are at the amazing island of Itaca, where - as the classical myth says - the Greek hero Ulisse was born. We've just arrived at the port and we are going to visit the little town. You can see us in the foreground, a part of the ship behind us, and the landscape on the background. I like this picture because it describes our friendship, and it also communicates to me a real sense of freedom. Indeed, we are not in pose, we wear casual dresses, and above all we have a tender attitude. I love my friends and I'm keen on taking pictures with them!
From Mauro:
I love this photo. Ithas been was taken three years ago in the desert of Marocco. I was there with around 20 friends for a yoga retreat. We spent three days in on a trip in the desert, with camels and some local guides.
On In the evening our guides prepared the tents and the dinner. That day I saw, sitting on the top of a dune, to an incredible sunset. Sky, clouds and wind, the red of the horizon, that changed in other colours moving the head to up. Orange, blue, dark blue where the stars started to bright... We spent two hours seeing watching that wonderful show of the nature, in silent silence. After that we had dinner and before sleeping I took some pictures around of: to the tent, to camels, to the night.

Gerta Pohorylle was born in 1910, in a jewish Galician family Stuggart . In 1929 the family moved to Leipzig, just prior to the beginning of Nazi Germany. Taro opposed the Nazi Party, joining leftist groups. In 1933, she was arrested and detained for distributing anti-Nazi propaganda.
In 1934 she moved to Paris. In 1935, she met the photojournalist Endre Friedmann, a Hungarian Jew, becoming his personal assistant and learning photography. They fell in love. Pohorylle began to work for Alliance Photo as a picture editor.
In 1936 Friedman kept the more commercial name "Capa" for his own name, while Pohorylle adopted the professional name of "Gerda Taro" . The two worked together to cover the events surrounding the coming to power of the Popular Front.
When the Spanish Civil War started (1936), Gerda Taro travelled to Barcellona, Spain, to cover the events with Capa. Their early war photos are distinguishable since Taro used a Rollei camera while Capa produced rectangular Leica pictures. Subsequently, Taro attained some independence. She refused Capa's marriage proposal.
During her coverage of the Republican army at the Battle of Brunete, Taro was hurt and died the next day, July 26, 1937
ehm...
My favorite photograph is the picture I used for the profile that you also see in the blog of English.
The picture was taken three years ago by my friend Fyodor, who is a good amateur photographer.
We were having dinner in a restaurant in the Holy Spirit and as I spoke and I spoke, he took the photo
