About Bernardo Cesare

I am a Geologist at the University of Padova, Italy. I work with rocks and make extensive use of micro- and macrophotography to describe the subjects of my studies and their morphological features.

As a photographer with artistic intent, my rock photomicrographs have been displayed in photo galleries, at mineralogical and scientific exhibits and in Natural Sciences Museums in Italy, France, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, UK and USA, and published in photographic and popular magazines, and in geological journals.
I won the MicroGeo2008 photo contest of the Russian Mineralogical Society, the 2nd and 3rd place at the 2008-9 Art in Crystallography Prize of the American Crystallographic Association, the 9th place at Nikon Small World contest 2009, the 8th in 2011. Runner up at Bilder der Forschung 2010 and at WPGA 2010 - The Pollux Awards, and at Chasing the light – Patterns in Nature 2011. Merit award a WPGA 2011 - Beauty Around Us.
I won the IPA-2012 Awards (micro - non pro category)

In 2009 I started the MicROCKScopica - Rock Art project (www.microckscopica.org).

A shepherd and his trusty sheep-herding dog watch his flock on this magical day in France.

This is a 35mm slide I took in 1954 while in the army signal corps in Fromont, France.

It was always my most popular slide, and the sad part about this picture is that it was the only one taken of the shepherd, who died a few days later.

I think it is wonderful that he may live on forever in these pieces of my artwork.

That's a beautiful testimonial, Chuck......very thoughtful of you to commemorate your Shepherd, and the processed images look outstanding, as always. Thank you. I am really touched by your theme, and variations.

Great thread(s), Viv! I really enjoy working in series and sets; I love running with an idea until I'm mentally and emotionally ready to let go, and move on to the next thing. Sometimes, a single image just won't do! :-)

Here are three pieces from my 10-piece 'Black Light' series. The images are digital representations of a type of crayon art, learned and loved w-a-y back in my elementary school days. You'll have to click in to see the details and colors in these pieces -

Thanks, Wendy. They're beautiful....I love this sophisticated outcome of your journey from Crayola days. I always started with red-orange, drawn to it's difference from Red itself.

Thanks, Viv! Pure, vibrant, Red was my 'go to' color. Still my first choice! :-)

I have a thing for poppies, I really like their delicate nature.

I love all your beautiful Poppies, Ramona......thanks so much for sharing them here. You are welcome to share more whenever it is convenient.

From my days in the army, again, back in 1954. I was lucky enough to be sent to Microwave school in Germany, then assigned to a 9-man microwave relay station in France.

One day I climbed the 150 foot tower to take these pictures of the small town of Fromont and the farmers at work.

Three from my "Historical Series" of the Fire Control Towers of the Delaware Coast:
There were several such towers built during World War II and 11 remain along the Delaware coast, with two remaining in New Jersey. I am working on contemporary images of all of them. Here are three "related images" of FCT #1, located between Fenwick Island and Bethany Beach, Delaware.

I did a series of geometrically shaped cats for my then 2 year old nephew who was obsessed with his cat Toodles. Here are some of them:

stained glass series photographed at a church i work there during a construction remodel.

This has been a wonderful thread to look though. Discovered some new art. I love your cat series Melinda, very fun. Love and am glad to have discovered your steampunk series Mo. April, love the vintage fish lures.

Yeah....they're uploading. Here are some more of the Geometric Cat series that I created for my nephew.

One last round of geometric cats. There are more if you are interested....

Thank you Jean.

Thank You John Muir for saving Yosemite. "the father of the National Parks."

Photographs from a car show at the yearly Kamloops "Hot Nite in The City" which they combined this year with a "Rib Fest" yummm.

Progression of photo's from the Fort Worth Stockyards Cattle Drive - wonderful beasts - each uniquely different - even with their "long horns"

Earlier this year I was lucky enough to visit Coronado Island just across the bay from downtown San Diego. As I walked the city streets, I enjoyed a blue sky and the colors of these nostalgic art deco style signs.

FYI ....FINISHING....17 August....

Thanks for great recent posts....diversity and Beauty.......WONDERFUL ...!

Three watercolors.

These images were the result of an experiment I tried. The outcome made me think of time and how everything has a place in the Past, Present and Future.

lost marbles found most of them...

Patricia, thank you for your kind words. V, thanks again.

Cats as I saw them, Godfrey, Margaritari, Innie - non traditional candid modern cat portraits which I like to do. I like to get inside their world a little bit.

A last-minute posting of my 'Timo's Chairs' series. I spent an afternoon dodging patrons, moving furniture, and photographing inside Timo's Coffeehouse, in San Antonio. I was the 'Timo's Artist in Residence' for more than five years, showing my work throughout the establishment and rotating the exhibits on a quarterly basis (or, whenever a piece sold).

One day, I was struck by how appealing the simple, wooden, tables and chairs seemed in their informal setting. Luckily, I had a camera with me -- of course! Here are a few pieces from this ever-expanding series of images:

This is a short series of oil pastel paintings enhanced with Prismacolor oil pencils. To blend the color evenly, I mask the areas around selected color-fields with Friskfilm, cutting along the graphite sketch lines on the museum board with an X-Acto blade, lay in broad strokes of oil pastel, 'paint' the pigment into the board with a rag dampened with a little mineral spirits, then I layer more color on top of the pastel-painted areas - sometimes using my fingertips to push it around and blend it in - and to finish I use Prismacolor oil pencils to draw the details that define the finished piece.
