Regular eCool readers knows that photographer Susan Sanders loves to shoot Rome. She likes to re-think the classic tourist view as much as she enjoys photographing the tourists themselves as they stand in awe of Rome’s majestic monuments.
Lately, however, Susan’s started shooting portraits of the people that interest her. She’s been showing up at the Compound with wonderful images of men and women who are part of the fabric of everyday life. We thought we’d show you some of those photographs today and so we’re showcasing a pair of images taken on a recent trip to Sperlonga. The charming subjects are a pair of fruttivendoli with a wonderful shop in the old town. They sell the most amazing fruits and vegetables–no trip to Sperlonga would be complete without the purchase of a bag full of locally-grown tomatoes to nibble on the beach.
Their smiles tell us that they were happy to pose for Susan’s photo, which captures the congenial grace with which they greet their patrons.
