La presentazione del prof. Italo Zannier per linaugurazione della mostra " Al Volo " presso il Centro Candiani a Mestre (Ve)Viviamo una nuova fase dellrsquo;Era dellrsquo;Iconismo; in parole povere; siamo nellrsquo;era dellrsquo;immagine automatica; genialmente avviata da Daguerre; con la sua invenzione; nel 1839.Una fase; quella attuale; detta del ldquo; digitale ldquo;; un lemma per me antipatico; comunque impreciso; che si puograve; confondere con il famoso medicinale; che salvograve; a suo tempo tante vite con il ldquo; mal di cuore ldquo;.I francesi; beati loro; lrsquo;hanno definito ldquo; numeacute;rique ldquo;.Ma il giovane Matteo egrave; un fotografo anfibio; e queste distinzioni non lo preoccupano; neacute; lo distraggono dalla sua passione per la fotografia.Matteo ha utilizzato; fin da ragazzo; quandrsquo;era mio studente allrsquo;Iuav; il vecchio sistema ldquo; analogico ldquo; (ahimegrave;; altro lemma scioccherello; percheacute; anche lrsquo;attuale fotografia elettronica egrave; analogica; riflettendo sulle definizioni di Roland Barthes; datate 1961 !).Matteo Chinellato ha sempre cercato; con intelligenza anche sportiva; di cogliere vivaci scene drsquo;ambiente; o anomalie; eventi passeggeri; che sono stimoli storici per i fotografi.E non soltanto i gabbiani in amore del pane gettato in laguna; ma le luci passeggere; e i colori; spesso nuovi e sfolgoranti; quindi sorprendenti. O le emblematiche brume e nebbie veneziane; nel confronto con i cromatismi lampeggianti; come nelle case di Burano; dipinte con pigmenti chimici che imitano i colori televisivi.Insomma Matteo Chinellato; con un occhio virginale; sta rivisitando; anche nel ldquo; banale ldquo;; il suo habitat e riesce via via a sorprendersi; a scoprire e a segnalare in immagine; aspetti quotidiani del nuovo paesaggio; senza remore per il prima e il dopo della Fotografia; dalla fotochimica alla fotoelettronica.Ciograve; che conta per Matteo; egrave; trattenere in una fotografia un pensiero; una emozione; e a volte egli riesce anche a cogliere un momento di poesia.La fotografia ldquo; veneziana ldquo; ha in Matteo un nuovo appassionato; delicato artefice; che merita attenzione per il suo futuro.Italo ZannierLignano Pineta; 10 ottobre 2013

Fascinating History!By LauraleeDuring the Declaration of World War II. the Congress passed the Selective Service and Training Act. which required all men from the ages twenty-one to twenty-six to join the service. This left many opportunities for young women to help participate in different roles of the war that were once denied to them. Many women not only worked in defense industries. but some also joined the army and navy. Some even became nurses to help soldiers both in the U.S and overseas. Also. there was an organization made up of women pilots. In this book. it discusses how the women from New Jersey showed their patriotism by becoming involved in the war. While World War II was a troubled time for all. it did give women more opportunities than they had before. Women were now in charge of the household. and some of them even had to be breadwinners. Women were also given the opportunity to join the army and navy. which was unheard of at the time. However. it was not easy for the women to join the military. Because they were met with skepticism from the men. these women had to prove to them that they could do the jobs just as well as them. Each time they accomplished it. the tasks became much harder as it got along. When they passed all of it. they were then treated with respect and were acknowledged with equality. I also liked the chapter about the African American women joining the homefront. The African American women were very patriotic to a country who at the time treated them as second-class citizens. These women were not only fighting for World War II. but they also had to experience discrimination during their time of service. While they were allowed to join the army. they still faced segregation. The navy did not accept them to join until later. and the pilot organization never accepted them. While they faced many rejections and discrimination. they never gave up in participating in the war effort. Overall. New Jersey Women in World War II gives us a glimpse of the tremendous effort these women contributed in war. These women were strong. capable. and determined. They loved their country. and wanted to help in any way they could. This was a very comprehensive read. and very well-written. This book is a great tribute to these women that participated in the war effort and their accomplishments.(Note: This book was given to me by the author in exchange for an honest review.)
