Da tema e da vergogna
voglio che tu omai ti disviluppe,
sì che non parli più com’ om che sogna
Of fear and bashfulness
henceforward I will have thee strip thyself,
so that thou speak no more as one who dreams.
-- Dante, Divine Comedy, Purgatorio, XXXIII, 31-33

The Girl in the Piazza Navona
I saw a photographic exhibit in Rome just before I took this candid photo of a girl walking across the Piazza Navona. The photographer whose work was being exhibited took photos of people on the streets of Rome over decades and never once asked for permission. They'd just be posing, he said. And he didn't want to take posed portraits. I decided to try it myself immediately afterward. This is the result.
