THEATRE OF LIFE

​

There is nothing quite like the energy of Italians' characteristic loud chatter and tactile nature. Enjoying life's simple pleasures, ever so present, sharing a slow meal and some wine with family and friends; life is at its finest. 

The connection, the stories, the laughter,

the hand gestures; all so theatrical, yet so real.

​

This image, taken on the square of Cortona,

portrays two friends engaged in a lively conversation after their meal. Flamboyantly expressive, even the bird came to watch.

I like to think of their long-lost friend who passed over and flew over to join the party for old-time sake. That bond that surpasses time and life.
