This is Frederica; she’s a dancer and we met her in Palermo.

Part of our photography adventure in Sicily was photographing a trio of folk musicians and a dancer along the harbor. It was a photo assignment I’d never encountered before and my results were…mixed. At best. Until all of us took a break from the heat and the unrelenting sun. That’s when I saw Frederica in an entirely different pose. And that’s when I got this photo of her.
