spinning
Every day in Sicily was full of amazing things; this particular day was one of the best days I could imagine. We spent several hours on a farm with a family of artisans, who made us lunch (which was so delicious I can’t even describe it), played music and recited poetry and stories, gave a soap-making demonstration, and were just generally the most open and thoughtful and kind people you’ll ever meet.
What was going on here? The patriarch of the family was playing sheep-skin bagpipes while his son spun a flag-colored rug as though it was pizza dough.
I’ll write more about this fantastic day later, but please know that Claudio and Rosella and their family were just the best; so many thanks to the amazing Allison Scola at Experience Sicily for making this happen for us.

(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.)

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.
