“This site started out as a personal work site for images I created in Catania Sicily, at Festa Di Sant Agata, one of the largest attended religious festivals in the world. All of my photographer friends expressed an interest in attending the festival. Having grown up spending many summers in Sicily, including driving a moped there when I was only 14, I realized I had the potential of putting on a photo workshop in Sicily taking people to places I know about, places I visited and loved as a child, getting access to farms through my family contacts. So, I produced a workshop there which you can find on the Sant Agata page or go to www.SicilyPhotoTours.com This started out as a personal project then grew into what it is now. I do have commercial site, but am in the process of editing and adding categories which include travel, and live music photography.”
