Agrigento, Sicily
Sicily is a beautiful place. Or can be. One could probably understand that a photographer would be excited to be there, as I certainly was. This trip was ultimately a lesson for me. I took a relatively untested camera to a land of beautifully contrasty skies, brilliant vistas, and Roman temples, only to learn that the spring on the camera's take-up spool was apparently sprung and not keeping the exposed film rolled tightly. I then stubbornly lost most of four more rolls of film.
Now, I know perfectly well to only use tried-and-true equipment when it really matters, because I've learned that particular lesson before. Thus, the lesson for me was one of humility. So, with all humility, here is some of what I managed to salvage.
