fisherman

I was dreaming of Sicily the other day when I was editing images. I mean, I’ve dreamt of Sicily every day since I got back, so that’s not really anything new. Anyway, that led me to prowl around my photos, both for nostalgic reasons and also to mine them for editing.

This portrait of a man fishing along the harbor in Palermo had been waiting on me to notice it; I appreciate its patience.

the pensive man

You may remember an earlier photograph of a street-side mechanic? This is the man whose hands you saw in that other image. In case you wondered.

We were in his vicinity for several hours and that motorcycle never seemed to become operational while we were there; his face tells the same story.

heading home

This family had completed their shopping at the courthouse square farmers’ market and were heading home. Eventually. It took a minute to get organized; that one kid on the right sort of had some other plans in mind.

“everything looks worse in black and white” – P. Simon

As you know, my first photographic love is monochrome, so I can’t completely get on board with Paul Simon’s statement about everything looking worse in black and white.

Although…this scene really does look better in color.

Allsup’s. Or the Steak House Cafe. (A couple of options in town. Pick the Steak House Cafe. Trust me.)
