La Dolce Vita

so I was in Italy recently (I'm half Italian) ... and I thought it'd be
interesting to try and get some photos that captured the essence of
where I was ... and that also give a snapshot of what Italy is like in
general

the photos are all in order as they were taken - so it's like you are
seeing things as I saw them

my favourite pictures are the green coloured statue and the 4 above
it ... I just loved how the light was around there ... I had to climb a lot
of steps to get up there - but stumbling across that made it more than
worth it ... and also for that view looking down at the sea

I'm interested in what your favourites are?

  8. Wow it's hard to pick a few favs. I have to agree about the graffiti shots, those are great. The beach shots are fun. I love the one of the woman sunning her face oh and the runner shot is cool too.

  9. George--
    These pictures are incredible!!! I absolutely love the cloud pictures and have always wanted to get pictures from a plane like yours. Beautiful! I also love the nun picture. It's amazing. I also love the picture you got of the back of a girl with the gold bracelet who is walking away. I love her flowing hair and her posture. I can't really explain it, but it's lovely picture. I like the scenery pictures of the beaches and even the buildings. Italy is such a beautiful place. I really hope I get to go there someday soon. You are an awesome photographer. Keep the pictures coming! :)

  17. le foto del mare sono stupende...!
    mi piacciono perchè mi danno un senso di libertà e mi danno modo di pensare e di riflettere su molte cose, su molti perchè...
