CITAZIONE DI PLATONE Si supponga che un prigioniero venga liberato dalle catene e sia costretto a rimanere in piedi, con la faccia rivolta verso l'uscita della caverna: in primo luogo, i suoi occhi sarebbero abbagliati dalla luce del sole ed egli proverebbe dolore. Inoltre, le forme portate dagli uomini lungo il muretto gli sembrerebbero meno reali delle ombre alle quali è abituato; persino se gli fossero mostrati quegli oggetti e gli fosse indicata la fonte di luce, il prigioniero rimarrebbe comunque dubbioso e, soffrendo nel fissare il fuoco, preferirebbe volgersi verso le ombre. Allo stesso modo, se il malcapitato fosse costretto ad uscire dalla caverna e venisse esposto alla diretta luce del sole, rimarrebbe accecato e non riuscirebbe a vedere alcunché. Il prigioniero si troverebbe sicuramente a disagio e s'irriterebbe per essere stato trascinato a viva forza in quel luogo Volendo abituarsi alla nuova situazione, il prigioniero riuscirebbe inizialmente a distinguere soltanto le ombre delle persone e le loro immagini riflesse nell'acqua; solo con il passare del tempo potrebbe sostenere la luce e guardare gli oggetti stessi. Successivamente, egli potrebbe, di notte, volgere lo sguardo al cielo, ammirando i corpi celesti con maggior facilità che di giorno. Infine, il prigioniero liberato sarebbe capace di vedere il sole stesso, invece che il suo riflesso nell'acqua. Aggiungo una mia considerazione Nonostante cerchiamo di seguire la luce, dietro di noi restano sempre delle ombre

hello Claudio
nice shoot!
the dark side contrasts perfectly with the strong central brightness, if I can ... I hit the ladder and perhaps I would have perfectly trimmed the bottom, in my opinion adds little to the entire image ... (everything falls perfectly with a cutout keeping the proportions!)

Hello
