    About the Book

    Edit

    "France is not Italy!" takes us on a visual journey of the French and Italian Riviera where we explore the cultural landscape of this historic and artistically influential region.



    The photo story begins in France exploring the coastal towns of Nice, Cannes, Antibes and Villefrance-sur-Mer. We briefly explore Monte Carlo on the road to Italy. In Italy our journey takes us into small coastal towns of Ventimiglia and Vallecrosia then to the popular tourist destination of Santa Margherita, Rapallo, Portofino. We also explore major monuments of the Catholic Church in Pisa and Milan.



    Beautiful panoramic landscapes set the scene for each location. Culture is captured through candid street photography in markets and shopping districts surrounding churches in the historic center of the city. The photographs contrast attitude and lifestyle influenced by history in each destination.



    Although, this book might be considered a travel book, each photograph had to qualify as a fine art photograph for inclusion in the book. During the editing process, a very good photograph would be eliminated it was too similar to another, artistically stronger image. Next the images were sequenced to tell a story about the people and places - this involved further editing out of good photographs that didn't suit the story sequence or color pallet. The result of this stringent editing process is a collection of interesting photographs that each tell a story themself and a photostory that is visually stimulating to read as a body of work.



    The author provides a brief introduction to the book, however, there is no textual storyline. The reader is given subtle clues to the author's interpretation of the storyline by the titles of the photograhs and he leaves the interpretation of the story to the reader through his/her ability to relate to the images.

    Sam Dobrow
    Coconut Grove (Miami), FL 33133

    Sam Dobrow is a contemporary photographic artist who lives and works in the artist village of Coconut Grove, Florida. In the digital darkroom, Sam continues to test the boundaries of photography. All of his artwork begins in the camera and evolves into images with intensely beautiful constructs amplified by his emotions and perceptions of the world and its inhabitants. Whether it is a street scene, portrait or figurative works, Sam captures beauty by presenting subjects shaped by light, framed by strong graphical elements, and emotionally supercharged by the thoughtful choice of color. According to Sam, the art of photography begins with a feeling, followed by seeing through the camera with anticipation, and ultimately developing an image that speaks to that feeling.
