I misteri or the mysteries are Good Friday processions that re enact the Virgin Mary's search for the crucified Jesus. It winds in several streets until the body she finds her dead son. It's a very emotional parade and you cannot tell any of the participants that these are mere statues. They are real. The most famous one is in Trapani, Sicily where practically the whole city participates with the different artisan guilds each playing a role. These images swot with a Leica M-4 on Tri-X Pan date from 1974 and are being re discovered. as I go through my archives.

As I dig deeper into my archives to sort things out and scan as many negatives as possible, I come across images that I had forgotten I had made. This dates from a trip to West Virginia in the early seventies. It's a panorama shot on Tri-X Pan with the Leica M-4 and the 35mm Summicron F2. I think that it's an image that can be added to my portfolio.
