Still Waiting
Walking past this pub, I looked through the window and saw this little dog waiting for his owner. I went inside and took this photograph – I didn't have time for a second one.

End of the Night Kiss
Everyone loves Fleet Week in New York City. Every night of the week, ladies come into the city to dance the night away with the visiting sailors, but the sailors have to leave before midnight to get back to their ships, as their ‘Cinderella liberty’ comes to an end. This lady had a wonderful time and bids goodnight to her visiting hero.

This photograph was taken on May 4, 2023, when the Naples soccer team won their third Italian Championship after waiting 33 years. The people in the city went crazy, and Naples was a carousel of colour and victory songs. I took this photograph at the famous ‘Piazzetta Maradona’, an unofficial square in the middle of the Quartieri Spagnoli (Spanish Neighbourhood).
