EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph titled "Shoes on the beach of Cecina" transports us back to a serene moment in time, specifically April 1962. The image captures a picturesque seascape where the vastness of the sea meets the tranquility of the sandy beach. In this winter season, devoid of bustling crowds, a pair of abandoned shoes stands as silent witnesses to human presence. The composition is masterfully framed, with the shoreline stretching out into infinity while gentle waves caress its edges. The absence of footprints in the sand suggests that whoever wore these shoes has long since departed, leaving behind only their remnants. Perhaps they ventured into the water on a pedalo or simply strolled along this peaceful coastline. Balocchi Vincenzo's artistic eye skillfully conveys both stillness and movement within this scene. The juxtaposition between nature's timeless beauty and fleeting human existence creates an evocative atmosphere that invites contemplation about our place in the world. This photograph not only captures a specific location but also serves as a representation of time itself – frozen yet ever-changing. It reminds us that seasons come and go, tides rise and fall, but nature endures through it all. As we gaze upon this print from Alinari, we are transported to Cecina's shores during that distant April in 1962. We can almost feel the cool breeze against our skin and hear whispers carried by ocean winds. Through Balocchi Vincenzo's lens, we are granted access to an intimate moment shared between humanity and nature – one that resonates with nostalgia for simpler times spent by water’s edge.
