Posing - PVD Style

photos by Richard Sonnen

 

The gondoliers from Providence are fantastic rowers.

But they're also a lot of fun.

If I lived there, I'd totally apply for a job there.

(not sure if I'd get the job, but I'd definitely apply)

 

Here's a fun collection of the guys from Providence (a.k.a. PVD) 

posing for a group shot at the US Gondola Nationals. 

I've taken the liberty of adding my own quote captions for the sequence.

 

First you've got to get everyone together.

Marcello: "Wait, where the heck is Ivano?"

Alessandro: "Don't ask me, I'm getting in the zone here."

 

Ivano: "Here I am."

Marcello: "Excellent. Everybody smile."

 

Mariano: "Um, what do we do with our hands?"

Marcello: "try this."
Ivano: "I'm not doin' that"

Parker on the boat in the background: "Go Eddie!"

 

Alessandro: "Man, I should've shaved for this."

 

Ivano: "Check this out...classic gunfighter pose."
Marcello: "I'm gonna keep doing this hands out thing."

Eddie on the boat in the background: "Are those guys taking pictures?"

 

Mariano: "I'm just gonna smile, guys."
Alessandro: "I'm gonna punch an eagle!"
Ivano: "Gunfighter, man. Tellin' you - it works."
