“Refinery Again” by Massimo Cristaldi
Few months ago I had the opportunity to see the work of Massimo Cristaldi. Of the various portfolios at his wesbite the one that particularly caught my attention was “Refinery”. Just recently Massimo has expanded this series to few additional images, that you can find under the link to new projects with the title “Refinery Again”. This is a nice and unique series with beautiful light, showing the contrast of textures and patterns created by the refinery and large groups of birds in migration. The shapes that the birds create are quite remarkable.
Few months ago i found theses pictures taken by Richard Barnes, he’’s also working on birds in migrations and their shape but in black and white and i realy liked it.

Cristaldi’’s work remind me that
Thanks JP, you are correct, the images are very similar … I actually like the B/W work of R Barnes quite a lot. Great find, thanks for sharing it. Miguel
Thanks JP, I went immediately to look to Barnes pictures. I”m not directly interested in birds themselves, as Richard is, but in their relationship with the refinery. They”re actually attracted by the warmth coming out the various chimneys and I find an incredible contrast btw a symbol of our time and an incredibly adaptive Nature….
