Photographer's Note
We are in Spiga street , one of the most famous fashion street of Milan with Montenapoleone Street. Pay attention at those two men on the left: what a killer look. They have noticed the prey and started the hunt. Like a great photographer they have framed her in their viewfinders and for no one reason in the world the men will leave her. A great Sicilian writer, Vitaliano Brancati, called this phenomenon “gallismo” (gallo = Rooster): in English may be translated with “Roostering”. Dreaming of women, thinking always about women, loooking always at women, wishing always women: this and other is “gallismo”. I don’t want to give a judgement about this phenomenon, but surely we do it better.
In the workshop you will notice how vey well the viewfinders work.

Are you doing it better or do the Italian women make you do it better ;-) As an Italy fan and importer of Italian wine I think I know the answer.
Nice shot. I like your comment.

Very well captured. You got what you wrote in this shot. And in such a trendy setting, too. This is very attractive just for the street, as well. Well done here.

Good street life photo, the light and contrast + color are good. There is a good perspective in it.
Only thing I would have removed the person in right side, he is alwas on this way out of the pic. anyway:-))
Good workshop photo.

Ces hommes à l'affût sont en effet (sur les deux photos) prêts à l'attaque.
J'aime bien cette rue animée où les gens prennent le temps de vivre.
Merci pour la note également Gae.
Très bien fait.
These men with lie in wait are indeed (on the two photographs) ready with l'attaque. J'aime well this animated street where people take time to live. Thank you for the note also Gae. Very well done.

Yes - I can image the situation - and I also like the way you spotted her ;-)))
This kind of hobby practiced all over the world - but I believe you among the best in Italy :-)
Thanks for sharing Gae.

Ciao Gae,
questa l'avevo persa!!
Questi due tizi avranno un sacco da fare in Via della Spiga con tutte le modelle e simili che passano!
Complimenti per la nota!

I like your picture, and the title, perhaps you are right. It is a good picture of architecture and a great alternative to car traffic.
