Most of the recent problems with the Internet connection here in Barga have now finally been sorted out and we are once again back in the saddle and riding hard. One of the casualties over this month has been the Daily Images section of barganews. The award winning photographer O’Connor has been unable to upload his work to a wider audience and so maybe if would be a good moment to go back and catch up on some of his images during February and March that you might have missed ?

The barganews award winning photographer O’Connor has been quietly posting up a small image each and every day onto his site. The images form part on an ongoing project of his called Daily Images. Now in its sixth year, the Daily Images project is his attempt to document by using images and not words just what is happening to Barga through the seasons and over a longer time span.

In fact the sub title of the project; “tradition and change in a small community” pretty much sums up what he has in mind as the core concept to these images. They are meant to be read as a series of images which frees him up from having to produce that “one stunning image” or “the perfect photograph”. He can pop in the odd image that does not have a high visual impact on its own but when read in context with all the others still carries with it a cultural significance and the chance for people to understand slightly more about Barga and the changes that are taking place here.
