Weekly Update

time flies. It's been a week since my last post. I dont know where the time went. It's mostly been spent going to class, shooting photography assignments, and eating. ...Romans love to eat.
...and so do I.

A few things about Rome I may not have mentioned yet.

1)
Our apartment houses 6 guys.
And we share a VERY pink bathroom.However, It's always beautifully lit from 10-12 each day.
I took advantage of this and shot last week's still life assignment there. We were supposed to confine ourselves to one area (corner, wall, table, whatever). I chose the vicinity of the sink.

2)
Rome is the global home to scooters.
They're everywhere. They zip around you as if they were flies
and you were a fresh pile of manure.
...careful, don't step in it.

3) No, seriously, watch your step. Romans apparently love dogs. Everyone has one. Being a big city, the almost non-existence of grass means dogs go on the sidewalk or street. and about 95% of Rome doesn't clean up afterwards. ....I hope I don't disappoint anybody by a lack of picture on this one.

4) I go to the bar every morning. for breakfast. Though they also have alcohol, it generally serves the caffè purpose 90% of the time. Wanna go out for drinks, that's a pub.

THANK YOU for the new blog post! There is something very soothing in the pink of your bathroom. Maybe it is a bit spa-like? Or maybe it's purely the light that has me fooled.
Thanks for the photos....LOVE the CAFFE one.
