Rafael – berry st|williamsburg bridge

Rafael
2 pm, 105°F,
I realized that the only place where I could find a big shadow was down the Williamsburg bridge.
I made the framing, and a car stopped at my side.
The driver was yiddish, my same age, very curious.
He started asking me questions on my life, so we got a half hour conversation.
We talked about me about him about Italy and Nyc. About politics and art.
But I didn’t ask him to take a picture. This is Rafa’s picture.
