In my pervious post, I commented on how I had never seen so much gold in a building, and that still stands true. However, the Orvieto Duomo facade runs a close second. The facade is covered in gold mosaics. I picked the two pictures below because I like how I framed the facade. The top one, [...]

Venice

I’m in Italy, and there is really only one city I know I have no choice but to visit: Venice. I mean it’s slowly disappearing right… So when my friend suggested it for Fall Break, I was right on board, although it was going to be at the end and it was going to be rushed. [...]
Silence all Around

There are two things that seem to always help me think: 1) music and 2) being a place with fresh air and little noise. One of the places that I seem to always find these qualities are in cemeteries. When I’m in a cemetary I always find myself thinking about how pretty this grave marker [...]
Not such Disney Movie-esq

I was flipping through the 200+ pictures of my second trip to Paris looking for my pictures I took with my D 40 at Pere Lachaise when I found this picture of the Notre Dame Cathedral. This is one of my favorite pictures I took on this trip because of the way the lighting turned out. [...]
The 100th Post

I’m not really known for staying with things a long time (for example with 3 and a half semesters left I just dropped my econ minor). Those of you that have been following might have noticed that there are constantly long breaks of posting for me. However I return to post eventually. When I noticed [...]
Getting Caught Up

I’ve been m.i.a. again but this time with reason. I have not stopped takeing pictures but have really just been getting caught up in this semester. It’s hard enough just to fit work in between travels around Europe or fun days around Florence. So far this semester I have been to Sorrento, Capri, Positono, Pompeii, Pienza (twice), Siena, [...]
This is for real!

The one country in Europe that I have always wanted to go to (think mainly because of the food) was to visit Italy. I’ve been it England, Amsterdam, Paris, and Spain (twice) but not Italy. Because Italy had always been my frist choice of place to go in Europe, it was my obvious choice for [...]
Assisi take one in Black and White

When I fell in love with Italy I had this idea of it being old, like in the movies. Of course that is not what it’s like at all because there are tourists and cars everywhere. This makes it difficult for me to take the pictures that I have always dreamt about taking; a picture [...]
My D40 Takes on Florence

Two days ago was my fifth day in Florence, but my first day without some orientation meeting to go to. Of course I headed out to the Uffizi with my roommate and my D40 tucked safely in my purse. But in the end I only took three pictures of a deserted alley with it (I [...]
Firenze!!!!

I’ve been in Florence (or as the locals call it Firenze) for about four and a half days and have only really seen a small section of the city. This is not because I do not want to, I would love to spend a day walking around every niche and cranny of the center of [...]
