This way to the Gelati Shop!

A view of a typical city street scene from Sant Agata in Sicily.

This was the final image captured by my much loved Sony Alpha 100 :(
I’ve since been told by a photographic repairer in Palermo that it would cost quite a bit of money to repair and it may be better to buy something new.
After a few days of contemplation (and living without a camera for the first time in God knows how long)... can you guess what i did?

hehe!

Of course I bought a new one!! ;p
Peace peeps!

    Amazing textures, composition and sensational angle.

    “Photographers do this for a living, every single day—they point their lenses toward every single corner of our world and somehow make the mundane mesmerizing through their artistic eye. It’s all a matter of being aware of your surroundings and realizing that there are some really amazing and interesting things to look at, even if it may just be something so simple as a wall being covered up by paint.”
