A Quiet Moment Photo

Photographer’s Note

Last in a short series of pictures taken in the tiny republic of San Marino. They were captured on the way to a very enjoyable holiday in Umbria, Italy in July 2002.

Here, a young sketch artist sheltering from the hot sun passes away the time reading whilst waiting for the next client.

Some trivia from Wikipedea about the cuisine of San Marino:

The cuisine of San Marino is very similar to Italian, especially that of the adjoining Emilia-Romagna and Marche regions. It does, however, have a number of its own unique dishes and products. The best known is probably the Torta Tre Monti ("Cake of the Three Mountains/Towers"), a chocolate layer cake depicting The Three Towers of San Marino. The country also has a small wine industry.

Hi Stephen,
Superb photo from this artist, there is not a customer just, the lady makes the time go by with pleasant reading though. The lights superb, the composition likewise. Charming portrait. Beautiful week!

Hello Stephen,

I just love the emotion that you have captured herre!
Haven't we all been there! When inspiration is lacking, just look at the body language!
Very well seen and perfectly recorded.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)
I hope you have a happy Christmas, too, my friend.

Very good daily life image of the caricaturist. It looks like she is enjoying her break. I wonder if that is a self-portrait on the easel
Merry Christmas to you and your family

Hello Stephen. An interesting motive. It reminds me somehow of the painter Spitzweg and his picture " The poor Poet" … All good to Christmas and a good new year, Wolfgang.

Very good capture of the mood and the moment's meaning for this lady. Nice daily life scene, and somehow this kind of artist life has caught on in so many urban cities.
