Italy with large format

[Santo Roman]

Good looking pics. I'll be moving to Rome in September. Should be an interesting time.

Fabulous work, Bruce - took me a while to explore the site, and the more I was looking around, the more fascinating work I found. Well done

Thank you, Daniele, sgelb, Turner, Santo, and csant, for taking the time to reply and comment. I appreciate your feedback!

Daniele - it must be nice to live amongst such exquisite beauty. Do you ever find a shortage of subjects there? I can't imagine even coming close in 5 lifetimes.

Turner - yep, my medium format rig easily weighs more than any of my large format kits (incl 8x10) not counting film holders. Unless I travel for the sole purpose of photography (and alone), I make compromises for portability.

Santo - have a great and fruitful time in Rome. So much to see and do. I've been a few times and can only say I've just made a small scratch in a very large surface. How long will you be there if I may ask?

Regards, Bruce

Bruce- if you plan to come back in Venice let me know, I can show you something you'll never find in any tourist guide that will be surely worth a shot..

Bruce,

My wife and I will be there for a year or so. Actually we are from the NW like you (Seattle) but live in NJ as she is finishing her Phd at Rutgers. Thats the main reason why we are heading over. Just picked up my new 4x5 and on tuesday I'm heading to B&H to look at a lens and a new Domke bag that will hold everything.

I'm intrigued Daniele, where would that be ? I'll be in Venice a couple of times in the next month or so.

Daniele, if you have an opening in your schedule I'd like to see what other tourists don't. If not, can you send me a photo instead?

Talk about opening Pandora's Box!

You may now be able to open a photo tour operation, behind the scenes views of Venice.
