I filatori

These "filatori" or string makers were exhibiting the art of making string before machinery. The image, an old archival one, was made in Siracusa, Sicily in an ancient cave used as a tourist attraction. I like the fluid composition. The camera was the canon FT with a Canon 28mm F 3.5 FL lens on Tri-X.
