A visit to La Prosciutteria, a photo from Parma, Emilia-Romagna

Photographer's Note

A popular delicatessen in Parma, selling all sorts of cooked meats and hams, including the delicious and rightfully famous Parma Ham.

Parma is a city in the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna famous for its prosciutto, cheese, architecture and surrounding countryside. It is home to the University of Parma, one of the oldest universities in the world. Parma is divided into two parts by the little stream with the same name.

It has a long history, already being a built-up area in the Bronze Age.

For those who are interested in a full history of the city, here is a link to the article on Wikipedea from which this information was taken.

hi Stephen,
This is picture perfect, and I can easly see this as a screenshot from a movie. The shop itself is a perfect subject with great light inside and a fine array of products which we can see, but the street scene outside is what really grans me. The woman with the little dog, the man on the bicycle, the parked bike, and the people all look like the perfect elements for the scene. Your timing was perfect for this capture, nicely done.
Cheers
Noel

Ciao Stephen
come si può rimanere indifferenti di fronte a certe cose, probabilmente, prima si assaggia qualcosa è poi si scatta, anche il cane sembra molto interessato.
Ottimo scatto, bella scena.
Buona giornata
Carlo

Hi Stephen,
This is a great shot. I love photos like this that include people going about their daily lives. Images like this one contain a tremendous amount of information about time and place.
Warm regards,
Trevor

Hello Stephen,

Ah, the home to parma ham!
I do love the road covering, a variation on our cobbles but much smoother.
You have waited for the exact moment to position the cyclist in the fame, yet not allow him to obscure the shop frontage. Your composition is well chosen, a good f/g triangle and converging lines which dictate your intention.
The figures add both colour and human interest.

Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Hi Stephen
not a shot to delight the vegetarian members of TE, but one that is full of delicious elements, if you excuse the pun. I love Parma Ham and this must be a wonderfully popular little deli. A superbly detailed and constructed composition. Lunch is calling me-thinks. Captivating imagery! Love the little dog, bet his lips are wet!

Enjoy the coming weekend - B.

Bonjour Stephen

Qui n'aurait pas envie d'entrer et d'acheter le magasin en entier. Mais au coût du jambon à Parme on va se contenter de quelques tranches bien minces. J'aime beaucoup le format de l'image.

Amicalement

Serge

Hello Stephen you have some lovely details in this shot. The shop front looks warm and inviting. The parked bicycle has a good sized basket ready to receive the shopping and the little dog is angled hopefully towards the open door. Will he receive a titbit I wonder? Nicely seen! Warm regards Rosemary

namaste,
an exclusive daily life shot here. Love the composition in wide frame. The elderly person in cycle, the waiting young lady, that little dog and that cycle standing in front of the shop. Everything in right position. Great light and depth to assist this superb composition. Loved it. :) Tfs.

Hi Stephen
I enjoy these every day life type of scenes, and I have TE to completely thank for that as I never paid attention to them before.

although cooked meats are not healthy, I love them! So this would certainly be a shop I'd enter.

charming scene all around
cheers
