Sometimes you don’t know you want to do something until to have to! I belong to a ’52 Black & White Challenges’ Facebook group and the latest challenge was to create an eZine. I let the idea percolate a while, before realising that I wanted to produce a piece about the men of Naples, using some of the images taken in April and October of this year. Instinctively I’ve always thought the Naples’ images should be in colour, to show the vibrancy of the city, but as I began to process the images in black and white, I found that it stripped away the distracting surroundings and focused attention on the people themselves.

I thoroughly enjoyed selecting the images, processing them, then working out the best layout. The words came last – always easier once the photos are in place.
