Essays on Twelve Photographs by Marco Bohr
A few months ago I had the pleasure to attend a cocktail party held by a friend of the family.
After I declared my interest in photography I was led into the hosts bedroom where I found to my greatest surprise an original Caponigro print.
I saw the image many times before on badly reproduced slides or in various books.
I almost didn't recognize the original because it is actually a much darker print than its copies suggest.
I was left alone for a few minutes to study the large fiber print.
I realized that it projects harmony of repeating tones and purity due to the simple subjects photographed.
The untouched nature is recorded in such a harmonic way that it could be visual homage to the place captured on film.
