From an early age, Malta had always been a different world for Amelia Troubridge; a place for first times, and where she first picked up her camera and was inspired to take photos. This book brings together many faces and moments over the years, from her grandmother under the hairdryer, to the numerous celebrations that always filled the streets.
From an early age, Malta had always been a different world for Amelia Troubridge; a place for first times, and where she first picked up her camera and was inspired to take photos. From watching the sun set on the shores of Ramla Bay, as they had for Ulyssees and Penelope thousands of years ago, to organising Malta's first rave, it was somewhere to get away from everything and everyone back home in London. Invariably, only then would you find out that you knew, were known, or were related to everyone around you - an extended family home, like no other. Within one tiny country were the influences of a host of nations. From Italian to Arab to English, it was a melting pot of hot summer days and magical summer nights, where nothing ever felt wrong. Since her innocent family holidays as a young girl, through her rebellious teenage years, half-Maltese herself, Amelia has always seen Malta through the identity of its local people. "Malta diaries" brings together many faces and moments over a period of ten years, from her grandmother under the hairdryer, to the numerous celebrations, religious or political, that always filled the streets.
As the country finds itself drawn into change by its arrival into the European Union, "Malta Diaries" celebrates the unchanging and the unique, encapsulated into one photographer's personal relationship with the island and its people. Included in its pages is an introduction by Edward de Bono, also Maltese by birth, an academic renowned for his theories on creative thinking, and offering a personal narration on the island.
