I have always loved taking photographs to remember the experiences we've had.
In our family of artists sometimes a photograph can inspire a new song, sometimes even a new novel, but at the very least, powerful new memory.
This photograph was taken on the streets of Venice, a few years ago. The elderly priest is such a part of the atmosphere; it gives the photo a timelessness. In Venice, the lack of cars and wheels, the slower pace, the personalities, and the amazing architecture add to the timelessness. Every alleyway tells you that you are in a historic city. Venice first became a city over a thousand years ago.
Lately it seems like life is moving very fast. In Venice, time has a way of stretching out over a long beautifully paced day.
If you saw this photo, what story would it tell to you? What emotion what it evoke in you?
