Description
Walking down the very crowded main street of the resort town of Amalfi on a recent trip to Italy, I happened to glance to my left as we passed this archway. An older gentleman, dressed to the nines in his fine Italian suit and carefully shined shoes, was just sitting there looking out at the masses passing by. It was a very hot day in July, and I was surprised to see him dressed in this way, but later as I looked back at this picture, I realized that he represented an aspect of the Italian culture that believes "proper dress" is important regardless of the weather. Others may not see anything in this image, but it was one of those that became special to me...love the lightness of the color palette, the composition, but especially the nameless Italian gentleman that was just sitting there, back in his little alcove and out of the mainstream, enjoying his day.
