The idea of ‘The Anatomy of Photography’ blog is that it follows the photographs that I took forty years ago to the month (the date was printed on Kodachrome slides), and that I should select images and write a text to accompany them within that same month, four decades on. Life events were bound to intrude, though, as they have now with the serious illness of a close relative. I planned to juxtapose this image with writing about the entanglement of photography’s narrative suggestiveness and obduracy of meaning, especially in single images which often prompt stories that turn out to be impossible to read. So, in place of the text that I was going to write, I will ask you: what do you imagine is going on here in this encounter of three men by the Duomo in Siena, in August 1985?
