Take Your Time to Look - Los Angeles Fine Art Photographer

I get it. It’s the holidays. You are receiving loads of info on gifts to buy on a daily basis.

I get it. Right when you think you’ve got a handle on this year’s shopping list, boom, there comes a black horse that you feel obligated to turn around and do your “due diligence”.

I really do get it, because I’m on the receiving end of it too. Mind you, I also have a full-time life to run. :-)

Part of me wanted to enjoy the joy of the season (in fact, almost all of me :D). And yet, the unsettling energy out there keeps reminding me there’s more to look at.

What further complicates the issue is the the supply chain back log. Think shipment/delivery chaos. Have you experienced a one month delay in receiving something in order? I have.

So, if you are still looking for the pure joy of looking (Yeah, kind of like “window shopping”, but in a virtual way), you have the luxury of doing it.

All you need to do is strolling over here before the last minute of the deadline (you know what I mean) and buy a gift card for someone still on your shopping list. Without breaking a sweat or the stress, you’ll look like a hero. Woohoo! A gift of fine art!

Italian Drama in Foligno, Italy - Los Angeles Travel Photographer

Italians are no strangers to dramas. After all, opera originated in Italy in the far distant 16th centuray.

While roaming the Piazza San Domenico in Foligno before the historical parade fashioning the Baroque-era outfits, I saw dramatic stories unfolding in front of my eyes, frame after frame.

How would you caption these images if you were me?

One clarification I thought justified to make though - when referring to drama, I was thinking more in the line of Michael Corleone and God Father kind of drama …

… and not the high pitched OMG style.

You see what I mean?

The Show is About to Start in Foligno, Italy - Los Angeles Travel Photographer

The sun’s lowering. The table’s set. The fun’s about to start.

Wait, are you ready?

Well, nobody’s ready until a lady says so…

Or until the knight’s checked his connection with the modern world one last time.

I think this horse is more than ready for his show time though.

In a few days, the historical Giostra della Quintana will be held again in the beautiful town of Foligno in Italy, where knights and their horses will compete on speed and skill. But before that, Italian gastronomy and baroque fashion will guarantee to impress.

While we are stuck at home waiting out the pandemic, I’m glad that we got to experience it first hand a couple years ago.
