Pinga’s
I haven’t been out shooting new stuff in a while, so here’s some older things (but never before edited, so they’re also new).
This restaurant in Missouri didn’t make it, even with the decorative saguaro painted on the building. It’s a shame.

my first street photography
I was recently reminded (when I was looking a box of random stuff) that my street-photography efforts started much earlier than what I remembered. If you’d asked me prior to this discovery, I would have said 2022 or so marked the beginning.
But here’s proof that I actually did a bit of street photography in the summer of 1967, while on a family trip to Mexico.
Also, check out the guitars for sale in the background…

italian fashion is for real
In case you were wondering, there IS something eye-catching and a little bit exciting in Italian fashion. It is beautiful and it looks effortless (but I bet it’s not!). And somehow, even though we were melting in the heat, the fashionably-dressed Sicilians always looked fresh and comfortable. (Except maybe the ones wearing those very tall shoes…)

holds the treasure you seek
I can’t remember how I found this grotto, but that doesn’t really matter too much: the point is that I did find it.

jesus and roses
The thing about traveling in a group of photographers is that sometimes they get clumped up because everyone needs (Needs, I say!) that shot from that angle in that light of that Duomo. Or whatever. It can (and did) get frustrating. But if I hadn’t been all pissy way back there at the back of the clump, I probably wouldn’t have noticed the shrine in the wall. And I still got the obligatory shot of the Duomo.
