- An unlit candle in a bowl on a round table outside a glowing café.
- A lone fuschia glove dropped on the steps of a bridge in Campo Sant’Angelo.
- A woman sweeping her windowsill with a handheld broom.
- A cocoa-brown poodle posing happily for its owner’s camera.
- A row of uncomfortable, wood-and-metal chairs lined up behind the pews in St. Zaccaria church.
- The staccato shouts of middle school students playing out-of-doors, just beyond a brick wall you cannot see behind.
- A woman begging for alms, kneeling, head down, enveloped in black, silent, holding a withered paper cup in her hand.
- Orange, lavender and smoky-gray marzipan fish glistening in a store full of sweets.
- A troop of ten-year-olds skateboarding in Campo Santa Margherita at nine o’clock on a Saturday night.
- An overturned green plastic flower box waiting for spring.
