Ultimo post de despedida. 2008-2023.

 

Ultimo post.
En Marzo de 2008 empecé, como simple aficionado que soy, la aventura de escribir un blog sobre fotografía antigua.
Hoy, Junio de 2023, creo que es hora de terminar esta aventura.
El resumen de la misma, según blogger, es el siguiente
 

 

Es decir, más de 3000 post y casi un millón y medio de visitas en este período de tiempo.
La finalidad del blog era acercar a la gente unos datos mínimos sobre fotografía y fotógrafos que sirvieran a cada uno que lo leyera como posible punto de partida para un estudio más a fondo.
 
Punto y aparte fue caso de Albert Levy, un fotógrafo francés,estudiado a fondo varios años ( 2008-2012),  que trabajó principalmente en Estados Unidos recorriendo sus ciudades fotografiando las grandes mansiones de los magnates de este tiempo.

Aquí, prácticamente descubrí gran parte de su obra desde 0. Un fotógrafo capaz de hacer 17 series sobre la arquitectura americana en el entorno de 1880.

y que decía de sí mismo lo siguiente:

Je réclame pour ma collection de photographies, aujourd`hui composée de plus de 2500 sujets différents, et qui s’augmentera progressivement

1º La bon choix des sujets ;

2º La qualité et la finesse des détail ;

3º Une conservation indéfinie ;

4º L`uniformité de grandeur

5º Le prix modéré


En este tiempo he procurado contestar a todas las cuestiones que me han hecho sobre fotos.
Además he cedido fotos para exposiciones, la última vez fotos del arquitecto Ricardo Magdalena sobre San Juan de la Peña, para la exposición "Viajeros y fotógrafos en San Juan de la Peña 1840-1980".
El blog permitió que se conocieran varias fotos de este arquitecto que trabajó en la rehabilitación de este monumento, fotos que, de no estar publicadas, serían desconocidas por los investigadores.

Anécdotas

La mejor anécdota de este blog fue cuando pregunté datos, hace muchos años, sobre un fotógrafo a una gran biblioteca española. Me contestó con los datos que yo ya tenía del mismo publicados en mi blog.

Cuando un gran museo me pidió permiso para utilizar una foto publicada en un post. Dicha foto era de los fondos de libre descarga del Museo Getty y una de las grandes fotos de la historia de la fotografía...

Punto final . Quizás ha llegado el tiempo de pensar en deshacer la colección pues la generación siguiente no está interesada en ella...

Last post. 

 In March 2008, as a simple amateur that I am, I began the adventure of writing a blog about old photography. Today, June 2023, I think it's time to end this adventure.  

The summary of it, according to blogger, is as follows That is, more than 3,000 posts and almost a million and a half visits in this period of time.  

The purpose of the blog was to provide people with some minimal data on photography and photographers that would serve each one who read it as a possible starting point for a more in-depth study. 

 Point and separate was the case of Albert Levy, a French photographer, studied in depth for several years (2008-2012), who worked mainly in the United States touring its cities photographing the great mansions of the magnates of this time. albert levy https://photocollection.alonsorobisco.es/architecture_index.html Here, I practically discovered a large part of his work from 0.

During this time I have tried to answer all the questions that have been asked about photos.  

I have also donated photos for exhibitions, the last time photos of the architect Ricardo Magdalena on San Juan de la Peña, for the exhibition "Travellers and photographers in San Juan de la Peña 1840-1980".  

The blog allowed several photos of this architect who worked on the rehabilitation of this monument to be known, photos that, if they were not published, would be unknown to the researchers. Travelers and photographers in San Juan de la Peña 1840-1980 add to my trip The photographic exhibition commemorates the centenary of the declaration as a national monument of the New Monastery of San Juan de la Peña. dates March 22 - December 22, 2023
