finally…
THE ITALY PICTURES!
I’m going to add them slowly. Post a couple every couple days. On some/most of them, I will add [dumb] captions with background stories, descriptions, explanations and the like.
As usual: these pictures are pretty bare. I don’t edit my pictures besides minor cropping or contrast adjustments.
For the life of me, I could not get a satisfying picture of the Colosseum. It is a beautiful and massive structure, and it’s extremely difficult to capture all of it in one picture. This picture certainly does not suffice, but it’s all I’ve got.
I liked how clear and blue the sky was. And I like the intricate column too.
I probably should not like this as much as I do. I just love the texture. And generally, I really like the cobblestones that are all over Europe.
This is my best friend Erika. I guess I just liked the way this one turned out…
I liked the rich orange color in this shot.
I loved this scene. IÂ saw the Italian man casually reading his paper in the foreground while throngs of camera-happy tourists snapped away at the Trevi Fountain in the background. It was a powerful contrast, I thought.
And to cap off this set of pictures: some eye candy. I just loved the colors of the flowers contrasted with the gray road and the pale buildings.
More to come… just hold tight!
