Q: In Need of Inspiration in Tampa and Surrounding Areas
A: Do you know?
Photo license: © All rights reserved
The Henri Cartier-Bresson theme inspired me to do a photo essay on my growing collection of Italian people images.I laughed and was so thankful that I at least had my small digital camera with me when I spotted this shepherd talking on a cell phone while leading his herd of sheep. As they came towards Fred and me on the Italian country road between Bracciano Lake and Monterosi (where we live), Fred stopped the car and said, “Deb, get out in the road and take pictures. The sheep will just walk around you.” Sure enough that’s exactly what they did as I snapped one shot after another, feeling like a kid at Disneyland.
Note: Please check out the essay. Next week I'll add more shots to it.
In the Revealing Italian Threads photo essay.

Great capture. I love so many things about this photo. To me the composition is fabulous with just enough empty road in front to position the herd perfectly. Many details in the photo are great and mentioned above - I like that you captured the road sigh as well. I am sure that spring colors were great as well but this photo is great black and white. Excellent work and so fitting for the theme.
