rm | photo sampling

These are some shots from all over the trip in both time and space. They're vaguely representative of what you're going to get more of, but they aren't really my best shots so much as the first ones I thought to show you to give you a sense of the character of the whole thing.

Giaccomo the angry pony who lives at a papyrus farm in Siracusa.

A wedding in Comiso. (This is one of my favorite shots -- view a bigger one here).

Boys on bikes riding past a store that sells "Hot Doogs" in Catalgirone (their typo, no mine -- larger version).

One of two abandoned churches we found in Scicli. I became fascinated by the way the light shone through from the missing side windows to create crosses in the interior. That's my friend Eric kneeling as he tries to get a photo too. This day is a long story for later, as that place went from being fun to totally creeping me out and then we found a bone that may have been human....

Pigeon living in a wall in Noto.

Posters in Ragusa featuring the animal trainer from a circus coming to town.

A church in Modico as seen from a moving car. While this church is in the same baroque style as most of the builfings I photographed, the statues outside this one particularly moved me. There was something I found odd and unsettling about them, and they were a detail I hadn't seen anywhere else.

I think this was shot in Ispica, but I'm not sure. We were lost on our way to Noto.

I may hate that I was not made for the same clean lines as the men I fence with and my hair is a bitch, but I'm on top of a fotress built to defend against the Saracens!
