Ceilings in Roman churches reminded me of those posters your dentist puts up so you have something to look at while they scrape away at your gums. I can totally picture this guy saying, “Look, Ma – no cavities!” Shot on iPhone 8.

Unnecessary Steps (Rome, Italy)
We wandered through so many random churches with so many sculpted ceilings, I’m not even going to try to remember where this was taken. I became minorly obsessed with taking shots of these moldings that descend down from the ceiling art, like a needless staircase. Plus a bit of asymmetrical symmetry, because my photography goesContinue reading “Unnecessary Steps (Rome, Italy)”
Father of the Fatherland (Rome, Italy)
Experiment in asymmetrical symmetry. Shot on iPhone 8, black and white filter.
Weird Sites in Rome, Take Three
Sometimes you gotta shoot the “wrong thing”. The only source of light into the Pantheon comes from the center (the oculus). Said oculus is a popular shot, tourists angling their lenses up to the ceiling to capture it and the surrounding dome walls, which are eye-catching swirls of squares. My traveling companion used it asContinue reading “Weird Sites in Rome, Take Three”
Weird Sites in Rome, Take Two
One of these things is not like the others. And I adore him for it. Shot on iPhone 8.
Weird Sites in Rome, Take One
When in Rome, do as the Egyptians do. This unexpected landmark was a five minute walk away from our temporary home. (Then again, what wasn’t?) Shot on iPhone 8.
More Shutters! (Rome, Italy)
Some people want cowbell, I want shutters and shadows. Also here’s a bonus shot from down a random alley on the street where we lived (I think this was another neighborhood – a set of condos, not unlike where we were staying). Shot on iPhone 8, black and white filter.
A Sky is a Sky is a Sky (Rome, Italy)
I love this photo, because it could have been taken anywhere, but it wasn’t. It was taken in Rome. A reminder that wherever you go, there you are. Or something. Also, a bonus shutter shot, because they’re cool. Again, could be anywhere — but it wasn’t. Photos shot on iPhone 8, black and white filter.
And Then There Were Cats (Rome, Italy)
Welcome to our view pretty much every day we were in Rome. After my regular morning quest for cappuccinos, I’d come back to the apartment to fetch my traveling companion, and we’d head out. A mere five minute stroll along a busy street, passing by banks, restaurants, pharmacies, shops, then bam, ruins! And not justContinue reading “And Then There Were Cats (Rome, Italy)”
Home Temporary Home (Rome, Italy)
Pro tip for wanderers: Take advantage of places where your friends are living. Often they will not only give you some insider information about places to visit, but also offer to hook you up with inexpensive (if not completely free) lodging for a few nights. Advanced pro tip: If they are really good friends whoContinue reading “Home Temporary Home (Rome, Italy)”
