This evening, I stalked a lady for 4 hours here in Ortigia, Sicily.
She took my breath away.
I went from one street to the next...
....passing through staggering crowds of Sicilians,
in hopes to get another glimpse of this beauty I could hardly take my eyes off.
I saw this lady
in Ortigia a year and a half ago and
she let me photograph her in a
private session.
This time I spotted her on her way out of the Piazza
del Duomo.
She was surrounded by men who were also in awe of her.
The crowd of onlookers began to fill every open space along the
narrow streets and passages just beyond the Piazza.
The men who surrounded this beautiful lady banned together and
picked her up with all of their might.
I couldn't help myself...
I pulled out my camera and
I pulled out my camera and
captured her just as they carried her off
with a
dagger in her throat.
