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.

fish/mouth

It was indeed only yesterday when I pledged my undying photographic love of street photography. So naturally, today rolls around and I post a… dead fish with ice in its mouth.

My very lame excuse is, “Well, I was standing on a street and that street contained a street market, and that’s a LOT of street references for this to NOT qualify as street photography.”

he seemed like a movie star

At this point, I believe I’ve completed my big photographic pivot – the majority of the images I made during a recent trip to Sicily were street photos. And not only that, I enjoyed seeing what was going on around me and being able to chronicle those things through my lens.

This gentleman was more than happy to strike a few poses; he had a regal bearing and one hell of a nice hat.

local expert (probably)

Two benches, facing the fishing-boat harbor, had three men on each of them. It felt like they knew every single that had happened or was likely to happen in their town. I had the idea the seating arrangements were the same every day, and that this gentleman, on the end of the bench that afforded the best view, had ascended to the power position through his long tenure of being watchful.
