I walk, I look, and I photograph… and there are times when I see something that just makes me laugh for no understandable reason.

One Sunday morning, a pink helmet and matching Vespa did just that for me. But why? Is it my Italian heritage that seems to require me to see and hear their distinctive look and sound or something missing in me that places them high on my radar or just the seduction of something nostalgic and simple and fun? In this image, I find these and more mixed together in an emotional bowl of spaghetti. Try to understand by pulling one of those emotional strands out and usually I come to a clump, a knot that just can not be undone… What’s to be done?

Take it in, slowly chew together and swallow, while enjoying the mixture of feelings that make me laugh, cry, giggle, sigh and smile…

Wow! I just realized why a pink helmet and matching Vespa make me laugh…
