More scenes from the farm in San Gaetano

The photos from Sicily are coming along nicely. I have finished developing film and I am now scanning, processing, and beginning to think about editing. Editing is definitely going to be a big challenge for me… when I left for Sicily, I had no idea where the project was headed and my focus was a bit scattered. Now I have at least 30-40 photographs that I like, but I know that a lot of them will not make the final cut as I try to put together the story. At least when I am able to continue the project (hopefully next spring, although not in Sicily), I will have a better idea of what to look for.

I need to get a first cut ready soon, because Platinum/Palladium printing begins next week. I’ve ordered all of the necessary chemicals and equipment and am doing a run-through with my professor on Tuesday. I’m sure my first few attempts will be pretty miserable, but I’ll be posting them anyway!

    I really like the first and second photos, even though I have no clue what those things are, especially the second photo where it’s just some sticks with a cloth or plastic bag wrapped around it.

    The first one is just a bundle of bamboo, the second one is my uncle’s version of a scarecrow. :-)
