It is 6 am and I've been awake for an hour now. My body is still a little confused on when it needs to sleep and when it needs to have waves of great thought. I returned from a month-long trip in Italy two days ago and needless to say I am still recovering from it. I went there for school, studying art history and drawing. Florence, where I lived for the most part, is absolutely the best place to study anything art related. The amount of Michelangelo, Caravaggio and Picasso originals I saw was enough to blow a mind for life. The trip was one of the best experiences I have had and will ever have in life; I am a very lucky girl indeed.
I took two cameras on this trip to capture what I saw in two different ways. I have my Nikon D60 and my Nikon 3000 point and shoot. Obviously I am a Nikon lover [as opposed to those Canon Snobs] and I'm proud of it. My photo instructor on the trip told me that I just needed to switch over, but that is the thing about Snobs, you don't need to listen to them for what to do in life. :)
I took thousands of photographs while in Florence, Venice, Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa, Cinque Terra and Rome. Before I left everyone's advice was to take plenty of pictures; I always thought to myself 'you have no idea'. Photos are my crutch for life. If I go anywhere that I may want to remember later, I take a camera. Photos are a way to look back and remember the nuances of a day or to smile at the thought of how you felt at that exact time.
PS: love to the Canon Snobs; I know and adore many of them!
