sunny days

I haven't really updated in a while. I must say. the one thing i miss most about san jose is the free, anytime access i had to the photo studio and the photo lab equipment. It made it so much easier to go out and take pictures. Here i have to get a little more creative with natural light. I wish i at least had a flash with me. sigh. 'cest la vie. Wine's cheaper here so i guess that's the equalizer.

anyway! here's some pictures i've taken for my photo class so far. nothing too special. just a window and a beautiful girl. I edited them a little more on the school computer so these aren't the final edits. but these are good enough to show i think.

Florence.

These be my touristy pictures. Questo sono le mie foto touristicheI found my tower!!!!! ho trovato la mia torre!!!!
some guy on a horse. un tizio su un cavallo
the tourguide was saying something about how it was like a spiraling tower or something...
policemen! polizia
an old tower. you know they're the original cuz they still have the square things at the top.


door. Porta

This is the classroom in which i will be studying italian. questa e' la classe in cui mi sara studiare l'italiano.

A friend/customer/regular at the garage suggested i take pictures of old doors in italy. I had planned on doing something like that.

When i came across a bike chained next to a wall in one of the alleyways in florence i knew right away what my subject matter was going to be.

I love the contrast of the bright colored bikes against the camel and grey of the old florentine brick walls.

here's the start of what i have.

MUCH more to come. :)
