Always love your photography — stories in pictures and they are so evocative! You have a knack for tapping into the real world and make it so alive for those who have never been where you go. Love these!
I love your photos! All of these scenes used to be so usual to me, growing up in Italy: I never thought I should photograph them or cherish them until I moved abroad. Now, every time I am in Italy, the camera is out and the local shop keeper who knows me from childhood thinks I am crazy to want a picture of him!
I wrote a chapter in our book, Not in a Tuscan Villa, called All in a Day’s Work. It’s about ordinary working folk–the waiters, cheese makers, the bicycle repairman, the chicken store ladies, a pottery painter and my hairdresser. It’s about the value that’s placed on their work in Italy, and how they feel about what they do.

I love that it’s mostly about FOOD with a bit of spirituality thrown in. 🙂
