Yes. I am aware that none of these people are wearing helmets. I am also aware that they were moving rapidly down a street.
But I was there for the photos, not for reforming local transportation and/or safety norms.

I did a thing.
And that thing was to make a return visit to Sicily.
The first night in Palermo, my friends and I grabbed dinner at a sidewalk place, the way you do. The whole time we were there, the proprietor of the little shop next door was washing out the pans he used to roast nuts. So naturally, I made some photographs.
This felt like a strong photographic start to the trip.

There is no way that I am a good enough photographer to convey how freaking cold it was that day. The wind – that damn non-stop straight-from-the-North-Pole wind – cut right through me.
I did have enough foresight to bring winter gear with me and my big coat was nice and warm. My hat and gloves were less helpful, largely because for some ridiculous reason I left them in the car. Winter survival skills are not necessarily something I am skilled at, as you could probably already ascertain.

I am fortunate that my real job gives me travel opportunities and I try to always use these work trips to grab a few photos.
I saw this scene one morning in New Orleans, only about three blocks from where I worked when I was in grad school. In those days, way up on the fourth floor of an office building, we had a daily view of construction of one span of the bridge you can see here. I’d never seen it from this angle before, and how nice of the sunlight to land right there on that little piece of wall…sometimes NOLA will hand you a gift.
