Mister Universe

September 13th, 2011

I’m guessing you must be wondering what does the title of this post have to do with the photo below. Well, as always, behind every photo there’s a story.

We were walking through the beautiful town of Alghero in Sardinia, stopping along the way to take pictures of the coastline when with the corner of my eye I noticed this guy. He was on his own sitting down on a bench, watching the world go by. I approached him, trying to talk to him, when all of a sudden he launched into a very detailed explanation about the tree the bench was under. I can’t say I understood a lot, but I knew I had to take a couple of shots of him. So I asked… at which point he starts laughing, telling me that of course I can take pictures since he is as good looking as Mister Universe.
