Giuseppe D'Incà

Giuseppe D’Incà was born at Torre Orsaia in the province of Salerno, Italy, in 1960. After graduating from High School, he enrolled in the University of Salerno to study engineering. Before long, however, he abandoned his studies in order to pursue his newfound passion: photography.

To develop his skills, Giuseppe participated in various workshops held in Milan, beginning with Ansel Adam’s Zone System and progressing through studies in darkroom techniques, portraiture, and photojournalism. While attending these workshops, Giuseppe met some of the most accomplished and well-known Italian photographers. Building on the experience he acquired in his studies, he was later able to host his own photographic workshops.

Giuseppe, who is now based in Olevano sul Tusciano, has contributed freelance work to numerous Italian magazines and photo agencies. Although he dedicates most of his creative efforts to portraits and weddings, he still finds time for photographic exploriations of Italian traditions and culture as well as the scenery and realties of other lands.

Giuseppe’s photographic travels have been showcased in three major personal exhibitions: Berlin 1999, Wilmington 2002, and New York 2003.

Quote of the day

All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you; the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse, and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was.
Ernest Hemingway

A book is a part of life, a manifestation of life, just as much as a tree or a horse or a star. It obeys its own rhythms, its own laws, whether it be a novel, a play, or a diary. The deep, hidden rhythm of life is always there-that of the pulse, the heart beat.
Henry Miller

A good book is the best of friends, the same today and for ever.
Martin Tupper

Books are the bees which carry the quickening pollen from one to another mind.
James Russell Lowell

There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them.
Joseph Brodsky

There are books...which take rank in your life with parents and lovers and passionate experiences, so medicinal, so stringent, so revolutionary, so authoritative.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

The good of a book lies in its being read. A book is made up of signs that speak of other signs, which in their turn speak of things. Without an eye to read them, a book contains signs that produce no concepts; therefore it is dumb.
Umberto Eco

Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital.
Thomas Jefferson

I know every book of mine by its smell, and I have but to put my nose between the pages to be reminded of all sorts of things.
George Gissing

A book is like a man-clever and dull, brave and cowardly, beautiful and ugly. For every flowering thought there will be a page like a wet and mangy mongrel, and for every looping flight a tap on the wing and a reminder that wax cannot hold the feathers firm too near the sun.
John Steinbeck
