foam at sunset
It looked like we weren’t going to get a spectacular sunset at the Trapani salt pans, and we really didn’t. It was stormy and cold and very windy and it started to rain just as I was getting this shot.
And you know what? I don’t even care that the sunset was sort of a bust because if it had been gorgeous, I wouldn’t have spent any time looking at the details of the place.

spinning
Every day in Sicily was full of amazing things; this particular day was one of the best days I could imagine. We spent several hours on a farm with a family of artisans, who made us lunch (which was so delicious I can’t even describe it), played music and recited poetry and stories, gave a soap-making demonstration, and were just generally the most open and thoughtful and kind people you’ll ever meet.
What was going on here? The patriarch of the family was playing sheep-skin bagpipes while his son spun a flag-colored rug as though it was pizza dough.
I’ll write more about this fantastic day later, but please know that Claudio and Rosella and their family were just the best; so many thanks to the amazing Allison Scola at Experience Sicily for making this happen for us.

(Just a reminder that even with my strong turn toward street photography, I still do photograph other subjects. Like this, for example, the Fontana di Diana, which is in the center of the Piazza Archimede.)

work is never done
It’s a life I cannot imagine – taking fishing boats out all night, coming home at dawn to sell the catch, then spending the day making repairs to nets, equipment, or the boats, then repeating it day after day.
My life has been very sheltered.

fish/mouth
It was indeed only yesterday when I pledged my undying photographic love of street photography. So naturally, today rolls around and I post a… dead fish with ice in its mouth.
My very lame excuse is, “Well, I was standing on a street and that street contained a street market, and that’s a LOT of street references for this to NOT qualify as street photography.”
