Sperlonga, Italy, 1970

Fishing Village

Sperlonga is a place I remember as a vertical village. The town clung to the side of a cliff, a warren of stucco buildings connected by vertiginous stairs. The cliff's feet sat in the sea and fishing boats were constantly coming and going. It's recorded that the Emporer Tiberius had a summer villa here. I think the two boys are about to go fishing.

Tokyo, 1969

Graphic Novel

Traveling on a scholarship in 1969, I was startled to find that in Japan adults everywhere could be found reading comic books. The graphic novel has made its way to the United States since then, but as someone who'd never read comics even as a kid, back then I found the phenomenon quite baffling.
