The Fountain

Yesterday I sat down for dinner with two Jews, two Muslims and three Atheists/Agnostics. We spoke about life, love, war, migrations and the state of the world with complete openness.

Although they didn't know me from before, they walked with me through an old imperial city while I was doing captures until 3AM.

The crowning moment was teaching night photography to a Jordanian kid from a city near Petra by shooting a rock-carved masterpiece by Bernini.

What crazy, great times we are living in. Still processing...

"The base of the fountain is a basin from the centre of which travertine rocks rise to support four river gods and above them, a copy of an Egyptian obelisk surmounted with the Pamphili family emblem of a dove with an olive twig. Collectively, they represent four major rivers of the four continents through which papal authority had spread: the Nile representing Africa, the Danube representing Europe, the Ganges representing Asia, and the Río de la Plata representing the Americas".
