This photograph was taken one evening as I was walking through Piazza Navona. I was on my way to meet friends in Campo dei Fiori. I remember clearly in what direction I was heading and in which point of the piazza it was taken. I took it in a period of my life that I was rarely seen without a camera in my hand. It was a time that I was totally enamoured with imagery to the point of obsession. I would shoot dozens of images almost every day and then be impatient to get into the darkroom.
Deciding how to print an image is a difficult task that I sometimes put off more than I should. The print can be made in so many different ways. I find that leaving various versions of the same print lying around to be inspected during the course of a few days makes it so much easier to decide. I eventually come to a decision, but then I have to explain to the printer exactly what I want.
I met Gregg a few years ago. He is a super talented guitarist. On top of which he's a super nice guy too. He's played with some greats, including Mick Fleetwood and Michael Jackson.
