Mina and I took our honeymoon in Sicily partly to investigate our heritage and try to find ‘long-lost’ relatives. We succeeded, and this photograph was taken about 45 minutes after saying goodbye to Mina’s 1st cousin once removed, a 92-year old priest who lives in Caltagirone. Leaving town, we took a wrong turn and got beautifully lost in the countryside, where I found this landscape and made this image thinking of my idealized family heritage: great-great-grandparents working the land in the Sicilian hills in the late 1800s.
