Every Picture Tells a Story: Marieta Dalla in Philadelphia (1998)

 

 

MARIETA DALLA IN PHILADELPHIA (1998)

I snapped this photo of Marieta on a street in Philadelphia’s Chinatown district about 25 years ago.

We had just eaten on a rainy afternoon and I turned with a camera and caught her at the perfect moment. Just when I snapped the button, one of those ugly old car boats zoomed by and created a really cool blurred background effect.

I’m maybe the worst photographer on the planet, but then sometimes luck prevails.

 

Note: We held a garage sale recently and I’m going through lots of old stuff, including photographs which I’ll be sharing in the coming days and weeks. My philosophy is — a photo does no good tucked in an album or stored in a box. A great photo should be shared. And, this is a great photo. First in a lengthy series. Quoting Rod Stewart, “every picture tells a story (don’t it?).”
