I'd seen this young women around the Navigli area of Milan, she was very stiking, but I never saw her smile, not the once. She came into the Cape Town bar, a very lively place to be, the bar owner Sergio makes it his business to know everyone else's whilst dispensing lethal size glasses of excellent wine. I came back to Milan on another trip and tried to find the girl, I did, she was talking to a waiter, she smiled; and the place lit up. |

The
girl in the bar was very striking, to look at and so were the yellow
trousers. There was a practical reason for them however, we'd had a
series of downpours in Milan, where sometimes if it decides to rain
heavily it can do a spectacular job. |

This is part of an on-going series of bar life. So where's the 'life' you are probably asking? I agree it is a bit bleak, but then I like it. Edward Hopper is one of my favourite painters, I like to feel he would find this subject interesting. |

This
must be one of the darkest bars I've ever taken photographs in. When I
asked the girls if I could take their photographs they said "Fine" -
then completely ignored me - something I've grown used to over the
years. |
