When Does One Recognize Meaning in a Photograph?

This picture was taken at the top of a hill near the Piazza Michaelangelo in Florence, Italy.  It was supposed to be a scenic photograph of the Duomo from a distance.  In the foreground, you see an elderly woman crouched on the staircase.  Moments before this picture was taken, she asked me for change.  To often, I have seen generosity taken advantage of by a homeless person for drugs or alcohol, so in my usual fashion, which is my personal policy for requests by strangers for money, I said…See More

About Me And My Work
I live and work in Houston, TX. I am a full time corporate executive, and part time entrepreneur. I like exploring new places, getting exposure to different aspects of the world and seeing how each of us views it a little differently, based on our own unique experiences. I am on this site as an appreciator of art - and a student of the world, rather than artist.
Artistic Experiences I Have Had On My Travels
I recently took a trip to Italy, and was amazed at all the art, architecture, and craftsmanship that I saw there.
Places I Would Like To Visit
If it were possible, I would like to see it all.
Art Forms And Cultures I Would Like To Engage With
I see interaction on this site as a journey rather than an end result, so I have no preference as to whom I would like to meet along the way.
