Authentically Agnès. Bologna, Italy. August 2015. 

I made some good friends living in Milan and Agnès is one of them. A talented linguist and writer, Agnès and I were colleagues at the USA Pavilion during Expo. She studied in Bologna and wanted to show me the city she once called home. We went on ferragosto so it was quiet as most people vacate cities for the seaside during this time. This moment highlights just how quiet the city was. These streets would typically be bustling with students and residents, however since it was a slow day in August, I was able to spot Agnès resting yards away and get a quick candid of her.
