Nearly a year ago, I was wondering around Florence and found myself unnecessarily fascinated by a single aspect of that Renaissance city of incredible art and breathtaking architecture: the doorbells.

I couldn’t get them out of my head. They were everywhere – varied, some shining bronze, others old plastic, names of people I’d never meet, some Italian and permanent, others foreign and on scraps of paper to signify a short visit. So I took my newly purchased shiny camera and starting photographing any (and there were a lot) that caught my eye during an afternoon’s stroll around the city. Some of them came out rather well.

I’m now releasing them individually through free photo-sharer Flickr, accompanying each with new short fiction inspired by the bell in question.
