One day, tells the legend, there was a huge forest fire. All terrified animals, stunned, watched helplessly the disaster. Only the little hummingbird was very busy, fetching a few drops of water with its beak to throw them on the fire. After a while, the armadillo, annoyed by this derisory agitation, said to him: "Hummingbird! Aren't you crazy? Don't you put out the fire with these drops of water!" And the hummingbird replied, "I know it, but I'm doing my part."
Francois Carella makes photography as he builds his life, with simplicity, sharing and tolerance. He has this real ability to go beyond the clichés to meet other. That's what makes it unique in its life's path. Whether macon, painter, boxer, photographer or father, he holds meetings and shared and sincere friendships. In New York, inhuman size and density city or in Sicily, a tortuous past island and development difficult, he is absorbed by the human warmth. Could you feel all of humanity in the photographs he proposes if it was not a reflection of what he gives?
