So, while I have broken through my own personal barrier and have begun to include people in my photos, I still didn’t want to include people who were tourists in my images from the Valley of the Temples. (Habits die hard and etc.) Because it’s the top tourist destinations in Sicily, I sort of set myself up for…failure? disappointment?
But this kid ran by and I broke my own rule.

the sunglasses guy
This sunglasses vendor was happy to pose for a picture. I mean, I don’t speak Sicilian and he didn’t speak English, but I’m assuming that my request to photograph him, which included a gesture toward my camera, was answered in the affirmative, because he struck a pose.

font angel
I love church statues. And if the statue is an angel, swooping down with a shell-shaped font? You know I’ll love that even more than a normal statue.
And then, when I get home, I have the pleasure of editing the image.
What a life!

goat trio
It turns out to be a surprise to everyone (myself included) that I really took to making photos of people while I was in Sicily.

goats and a dog and Vincenzo
After we played with baby goats and looked at grown-up goats and tasted cheese, we got to watch the Vincenzo and his dogs lead the goats down a mountain and up the other side to the place where they’d spend the day grazing.
As an aside – my mom grew up in the part of Texas where ranchers raise a lot of goats. She had very fond memories of how cute baby goats are and had quite a few stories about their antics. After this morning with goats, I could definitely better understand her point.
