Easter in Sicily / March 27, 2016 by David Korchin

Procession coordinator, Trapani, Sicily.

Easter in Sicily is one of those episodes of wonderment and fervor where the spectacle of belief seems to overwhelm (even overstate) the system of faith behind it. I spent a two weeks photographing the commemorations in Marsala, Trapani, Prizzi and Palermo in 2002, and came away with a deep appreciation of devoutness, ceremony and ritual that marks the people there.

Tradesmen relax in a chapel after depositing their processionals. Erice, Sicily.

The most prominent people of each city are afforded the highest perches. Marsala, Sicily.

Just 180 Sleeps till the Rodeo! / January 2, 2015 by David Korchin

Canada Day on the Prairie (July 1st) means rodeo time. The last one I attended was nearly a decade ago—so I'm overdue. And to get my fix for now, I'm reposting some work from that last one, in St. Paul, Saskatchewan.

Broken New York / August 6, 2014 by David Korchin

Someone in my building brought her out to the trash, a 70s-ish objet that had languished in a living room for god knows how long, serving some need for decor or perhaps company. That's the City for you—toss out the cherished, bring out your dead.
