Fashion Photographer – Milan, Rome, Gaeta, Italy, Day – Five

Early morning. The rain just stopped. The clean sand i was intending to shoot on is now speckled. We move to the water. Salvatore is videotaping from the shoreline.

Anna has a little dolphin tattood on her butt. Then it occures to me. “Il Delphino.” “The Dolphin.” A great idea for a series of portraits. So, I ask her to become a dolphin. And she does. She glides through the water. Jumping. Splashing. Bending. Twisting. She’s free. Women often are. They tend to be able to access emotions more quickly than men. She is free from the world.

I can see my son a distance down on the beach playing with a dinosaur toy he found this morning. He’s five years old. He loves dinosaurs. Sometimes he is a dinosaur. For hours at a time. He knows how to play as Anna does now. There are four great actors here.

The rain starts to return. The water is amazingly calm here. No waves like the Pacific or Atlantic. We are in the Mediterranean. Far away from home. The dolphins skin is shiny and wet. Everythings perfect now. Press the shutter release button. Is that what they call it? I’m not very technical. I just take photographs.

Tomorrow I need to take my family to Rome. That’s what we’ll do. We’ll go to Rome. I will take my son to the Coliseum. Better tell him about the Christians vs. the Lions before we go to sleep.

I think i got the picture. I know I did. I can’t hear anything now. I am deaf and everything is in black and white.
