smoking section

This man, dressed in the traditional outfit for the feast of Sant’Agata, was taking a quick smoke break before continuing with his feast day activities.

fashion + diana

You know how much I enjoy photographing shop windows with reflections that distort…everything. So, here’s a variation on that ongoing theme, and this one has a bonus of including the Fontana di Diana, which I didn’t even notice when I made the photo, as I was consumed with getting those mannequins lined up the way I wanted.

volcano fog

My favorite kind of weather is fog. I don’t see it often, which is definitely part of the attraction. But I like the way it envelopes everything, softening the edges and the noise, giving away to mystery.

And so while it was a shame that we didn’t get to the the magnificent lava fields stretching out below us, I did appreciate my moments with the fog. It felt a little bit like seeing an old friend.

sheep, up a hill and against a fence

The dogs thoughtfully herded these sheep up the hill, all the way to the fence, and kept them there while we made photos. And they were especially careful to get the sheep in the right place so some of them would be limned by the morning light.
