Romeo street

some of my favorite people in the world

Sitting around the dinner table with my family in Pulicciano. You really need sound to appreciate this scene. Just imagine 10 conversations at once,both English and Italian and much laughter. Man,I miss that sound.

Italian cliffs

I photographed these cliffs on the way to Pulicciano from Florence. This scene reminds me of somewhere out west in the US. If there had been a Stuckey's restaurant nearby, I would have gotten homesick.

styling shoes

Contrary to popular opinion,my brother and sister do not always lean like this.
I think it was the effects of jet-lag.

cowboy zio

My uncle,Alberto, fantastic cook,driver and cowboy. He does it all with much gusto.

the cathedral

No,the rumors are false. That light came from a window,not from lightning striking me.

a pillar in Siena

I have no idea what we are looking at here. I shoot first and figure it out later. It's been the general theme of my life.

green sign

I just love a subtle sign.

a pink horse

It was strange to walk thru Florence and see a pink horse behind this gate. I could only imagine why it was wrapped as such.

laundry day

Italy,even their laundry is pretty.

mopeds in the rain

rusty foosball table

A beautiful little foosball table left outside to rust
in the town of Burro. I just love the colors and textures. Everyone else was photographing the beautiful scenery,me,I'm shooting rusty crap.

Lisa in Radda

She's actually writing over and over, "Family vacations make Lisa crazy,family vacations make Lisa crazy......"

Radda in the morning fog

This is the view from our window in the villa in Radda in Chianti. What a glorious way to start the day.

old dude

orange moped and shoes

There's nothing like coordinating your shoes
with your moped.

Elda and Alberto

My favorite photo taken during my trip to Italy in 2008,
my aunt and uncle deep in conversation.

Puliciano villa

My family's house in the hills of Pulicciano.
Absolutely a slice of heaven,it is one of my
favorite places on this planet.
