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.

Rashomon Series: My Sister and Me in Tanque Verde (AZ)
It’s that time again – time for “something a little different”! Inspired by one of my favorite stories, Rashomon, I solicit the thoughts and opinions of others who have tread the same path as me, but (inevitably) they bring a different perspective.

Pyramid of Cestius – photo provided by author 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.
