Kensington

Ocean Parkway, brooklyn.

This is a shot of Piazza Giovanni in Taormina. I shot this rather quickly just for kicks but trying to recreate an image (from memory!) I shot of this same place in 2006 with my 4x5 camera. Pretty close but would never achieve the same effect. Oh well, I was amused.

Side note: Truman Copote would get wasted at Cafe Wunderbar (to left of church) and dance around in this piazza over looking the Mediterranean.

I’m not sure if her photo is better…

View of Catania from Etna

2950 meters

Not sure if I’ve witnessed a kidnapping or something… Slightly reminiscent of Michelangelo Antonioni’s “Blow up.”

Greek Amphitheater at the top of Taormina. Last time I was here was in 2006 to see a rock concert and Etna was erupting in the distance. Not much has changed.

Highway fires in Sicily are quite common.

Greek Ruins.. central Sicily.. I’ll get back to you with the exact location. Pretty amazing ruins from the 3rd century BC.
