In the summer of 2005, I found myself in Florence, Italy for a friend's wedding. On my last day there, I decided to go for a stroll before going out for one last dinner. I found my way toward the Arno river, standing on a bridge looking toward the Ponte Vecchio. People were bustling about as the sun began to set. I decided I wanted an image of a cyclist panned against the beautiful background of the river and disant bridge. Upon getting home, I found a much more interesting image within that collection of cyclist shots. For me, this one told a simpler, more thoughtful story and separated itself from the typical travel image.
