The World's Oldest Restaurants - the Old & the New
The New and the Old - Paris
Cooking food is the oldest of industries or maybe construction of shelters, but for now we'll say food, because we can't go without it. So, once the first community had an outdoor gathering with food, was it the first outdoor cafe?
Now, if we were to look at many cities today, say Paris. How would you see it's streets different and it's cafes?. Yes, there's a few new buildings here and there, but how much has a city changed if the cars and trucks didn't give it away to recognition of it's former self. Deep in the streets of a city away from the skylines and modern transport, is the truth revealed in the heart of thriving daily human activities that make it all so, familiar in yesterday and today.

Broken Glass Abstracts
Paolo Salcido- Artist’s Statement on "Soular Spirits In Broken Worlds"
“Soular Spirits Drifting In Broken Worlds” project exhibits abstract celestial and terrestrial heavens in colorful spaces through photographic color, light and painted with residual red wines with broken glass. I paint a futuristic ethereal & planetary chaos within unrecognizable fictional solar systems.
“Soular Spirits Drifting in Broken Worlds” began knowing his spirit lives in us & born is my photographic art compositions with cultural observations of the lost human race wandering through space,life & environments changing, leading to chaos that once was order. Now ask, “what is it to be human?”.The feeling of being is no longer enough to be human is becoming something more than human souls and spirits. We are drifting in space with less security of our place in the universe. This project focuses on the growing desire of a human mantra to be overly efficient, productive, convenient, and dependent on high tech connectivity within AI, software,computers, machines, robotics and their effects on humans
My art is a state of dreaming & change in the darkness of night. I paint with light abstract worlds in space & seemingly disconnected emptiness of space in his firmament. Who are we?
San Francisco Rising
Digital Universe- AI & Surveillance -To Be Human
This is a look of how much has changed in our world over the last few decades & months. Since 1984 & the introduction of Apple computers, which has given the world personal computers and now others are showering us with AI products at people's digital fingertips. It's my view of abstract photography looking through pixelated images that depict the feeling of being under surveillance, possibly controlled & even disconnected from humanity. A new reality with jobs disappearing, economy changes, wealth shifting and much of society push to efficiency, convenience, progress, production, and who will have access or even more, who will be left behind in an already world of have nots.

Truth in imaging is a passion to give the true message. any subject or conceptual project can provide an image to penetrate or pursuade, but to attach truth is transparency. Though compositing art is not reality, we must ask of the story, what is the truth? Truth is needed in creation. Fine art can be a Truthful story when the moment is captured.
