“What is so mesmerizing and pleasing about this photo is the way it seems to transport the viewer to a different time and place. Mr. Cristaldi says of his work, “Taking images is for me a way to transform into physical things my inner visions and memories.” Looking at this image takes you by the hand and guides you into Mr. Cristaldi’s memory and shows you this humorous, sweet, visually engaging scene.” – Jen Bekman on Hey Hot Shot!
