diana + water drops

(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.

one eye

We spent our morning in Collesano following our hosts through a variety of local shops as they gathered ingredients (cheese, cured meats, pastries) for the lunch they’d later prepare for us. At the cheese store, this little girl and I made brief (and sort of incomplete) eye contact with each other.

transport

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.
