Program note:

There is a famous photograph that Ruth Orkin took of a young American girl strolling in a street in Florence surrounded by ogling Italian men catcalling. She blithely went on her way, completely ignoring them***. It is such an iconic photo that I was inspired to write my 19th string quartet in honor of Miss Orkin's photograph.

After some research I discovered that the girl in the photograph has a made-up name of Jinx Allen. Her real name is Ninalee Craig. Ruth Orkin befriended this young American compatriot and ended shooting a ton of photographs of her in that city.

I decided that these exquisite photographs would become the titles of the movements for the string quartet.

I. American Girl in Italy
II. Jinx in Goggles
III. Jinx @ AMEX
IV. Treasure Tours
V. Jinx Staring
VI. Jinx with Statue

From a Wikipedia entry on Jinx Allen: Many interpret the photograph as one of harassment and chauvinism. In 2014, Ninalee Craig said: "At no time was I unhappy or harassed in Europe. The photograph is not a symbol of harassment. It's a symbol of a woman having an absolutely wonderful time!" She has also noted that "Italian men are very appreciative, and it's nice to be appreciated. I wasn't the least bit offended.".
