  "Osvaldo....
  
  Un fotografo di talento
  un uomo che nel tempo si e' messo a nudo...
  e solo pochi ,sanno farlo.
  
  Non c'e treno che io prenda che non penso ad Oavaldo
  sono nella mia testa. le sue fotografie
  Avrei avuto il piacere di conoscerlo
  ma le distanze....il tempo,la vita....
  
  Grazie
  Un caro abbraccio
  
  Elisabetta Ronchi"

  "La Vita.
  
  Sì, con la V maiuscola.
  
  La Vita.
  
  Ecco quello che le tue foto raccontano a piene mani, scatto dopo scatto, giorno dopo giorno...
  Sono rimasto a guardare la foto THE MAIL per minuti interi, affascinato da qualcosa che non saprei spiegare...
  Si sente l'amore che nutri per le persone, per il mondo che ti circonda, per la Vita (ecco, daccapo la Vita)...
  Le tue foto trascendono dall'ordinario come solo i grandi possono fare, rimangono lì, come fari lungo il cammino che ogni fotografo che si rispetti deve intraprendere, e diventano paletti che delimitano quello che noi chiamiamo Fotografia...
  
  Non ho avuto il piacere di conoscerti, credo siamo della stessa terra (sono nato a Cosenza e, spesso, torno alla vecchia casa che ho ad Aprigliano), ma guardare le tue foto è come iniziare a comprendere quello che sei, come guardi il mondo e come ti affascina...
  
  Fotografie di Vita...
  Eccola, sempre la V maiuscola..."

  "Starting out on a new road can be difficult but the journey is always easier if there's an an experienced and considerate friend to guide you. This has been my experience in photography and through Flickr I've met a handful of special people who have coached me and encouraged me in a constructive way. No one has done this more or better than Osvaldo. His willingness to share his insights and the pure quality of his work have been both a blessing and a source of inspiration to me. Thank you, Osvaldo!"

  "Non sò perchè, ma è così... le foto di Osvaldo sono come un bella canzone di Rino Gaetano o Battiato della Voce del Padrone sembrano melodiche, estive, spensierate poi appena ti soffermi a guardarle capisci che parlano di te, di quello che hai visssuto, della bellezza del vivere in Italia nonostante tutto e tutti i vari 'papi', il piacere delle cose più piccole, semplici, quelle che non hanno troppe sovrastrutture a renderle pesanti. L'insostenibile leggerezza dello sguardo."

  " I don't know what to say to someone who's work inspires me, makes me see the world and it's people in a new way, makes me wonder and dream, I wish for better words to express what the last ten days of exploring your photography has done to me. It's a sad day for me when a great book ends, when the sun dies at the end of a great day, and when I gazed upon your last photograph here.
  Thank you seems so weak to describe my gratitude for what your pictures have given me. I'm sorry if it makes you uncomfortable to receive so much more than praise, it often makes people feel so. It would me.
  I no longer search for technical perfection, I no longer care what equipment I use. I'll always and forever look at photography in a new light. I have to find a new way to share what I see in the world through pictures. Another beginning for me, a new age, I see now, in people, the warmth and feeling my photography never had. I am changed."

  "What a treasure I have just found on Flickr! I can tell, just by looking at a few shots by this visual artist. Looking forward to exploring what I know -- from the little glimpses I've already had -- is a very fine photostream indeed. Thanks for your vision, imagination, and talent.....And for taking care of a very sweet homeless little kitten and making a difference in its little life. Love is the best medicine in the world."

  Michelle Brea says:

  "A man possessed by his art, he seeks the soul and goes so far beyond. An artist who is not afraid of experimentation o trying new techniques. His photographs are striking, ambiguous images of people, places ans self portraits, that occupy the grey area between fact and fiction, blurring the boundaries between documentary photography and art. His photos will stay stuck in your mind!"

  "Every time I see one of Osvaldo's photos I write a testimonial in my mind. I think it's time to write one for the record.
  
  Osvaldo creates emotions and feelings in me when I see his work. Sometimes it is in a facial expression or a certain look in the eyes of his subject that he's captured. His images are not just colors in an organized fashion, they are moments in life filled with irony and meaning. If pictures say 1,000 words, then Osvaldo creates photo-poetry."

  "E' un privilegio poter scrivere un testimonial per Osvaldo, che per me è stato una rivelazione.
  Le sue foto non sono soltanto una perfetta immagine che appare, risultato di una grande capacità, ma anche e soprattutto il frutto di uno scavo, di una ricerca, di una sensibilità che coglie il senso profondo delle cose e della vita. Per questo emoziona guardarle, perché in ciascuna c'è una radice che parla di sé, e in tutte la testimonianza di un cammino.
  Altro non so dire, e allora ecco per te, Osvaldo, parole di don Tonino Bello:
  "Il Signore benedica il tuo lavoro e il tuo riposo, i tuoi silenzi e le tue parole. Le tue sofferenze e le tue letizie... Auguro una incontenibile, immensa, gioiosa capacità di "bene-dire" dire bene della gente, della vita, della morte, della gioia, della storia, della cronaca"."

  ""A sufficenza ne abbiano di un mondo
  che già scoppia. Rumori di motori
  sculture fatte a strati, libri
  che s'ammucchiano su tutti gli scaffali.
  La raffica c'investe, induce ad acquistare
  fin l'ultimo gionale. Poi tutto brucerà
  dans l'espace d'un matin. Ignoro
  quali sventure porterà con sé
  il trionfo del caduco e se
  si salveranno poche parole imperiture."
  
  Eugenio Montale"

  "check Osvaldo's hands. look at them. yes, not too difficult to c roots. spreading roots. earth. humid or dry, but he revolves and play and feels the earth like nobody. as a portuguese poet said once "if God wanted to give names to the stars and to the flowers, He would made them with named labels". Osvaldo doesn't put labels in anyone or anywhere. his hands, his roots are his own branches. here, in Africa, wherever u give him land to work the earth. and from the earth people comes. 1 person and another. and another one. he knows that we are all different. he knows that we are all equally different. and his photos are not more than that: the respect that Osvaldo has for each one of us. u can be blind, and u'll learn one day how to see (the) earth with this unstopable guy.
  Osvaldo doesn't come up with people. he brings us person by person, each one with his most natural expression. each one with his own inner.
  Osvaldo doesn't photograph people. he stills inners that he shares with his hands. in earth... in our earth.
  maybe Osvaldo is not a photographer... his eyes are too busy feeling what so many ppl can't feel or understand. and photography is also his way of sharing... hands. his hands. his roots... in our earth."
