Once in a while people write to me and to various versions of modifications they’ve done to my photos. It’s something I enjoy very much. Everyone has their view on things and has their own manner of doing things. It’s interesting to see other people’s spin on my work. This recent work in particular caught my attention. I got a message from a painter (Giangix70) in Rome. He wanted to paint a photo I took in Rome around 4 years ago and of course I gladly agreed. I think it turned out quite cool. He has a lots of other great work. You can check out more of his awesome paintings on his Flickr page.

Florence at night
Shooting at night is always more challenging to me. A slow lens and the usual absence of a tripod definitely adds to it. Hope you enjoy this one!
Lunch Break (Florence)
A Florentine artist
Well the week has ended, which means it’s time to move away from my trip and British Columbia and post pictures from somewhere else. I’m a wee bit tired to be editing something new, leaving me with an easy choice to post something old. I think something from the streets of Florence easily fit this criteria.
Piazza panorama in Rome
I absolutely love panoramic shots. Sometimes a single shot alone isn’t enough to transmit the feeling of how it’s like to be standing in front of a plaza or looking down at a city skyline from a tower or a hill. They’re great at painting a bigger picture but they can also be fun to zoom into sometimes to explore the scene, those frozen moments of people going about their business.
Panoramic shots are so cool that I’ve decided to add a separate link to the sidebar on the right to group them together. Hopefully I’ll be posting more of them. (Click on the pic to enlarge or download the full size)
City of Colour
This is the view of Florence from Piazzale Michelangelo. This picture was printed by my university to display at some gallery that I never managed to visit. I have no idea where the print is at the moment, maybe hanging on some wall in university. Great view though!!
