I spent the week at Spencer Lum‘s photography workshop.  I’m going to write more about it later, but I’m too excited about everything not to share at least one image.  I’d never done a photography intensive before, unless you count double-headers – and you shouldn’t, because you present so much of what you shoot.  This was three full days of shooting, pared down to eight images.  Of course, the most time for me was spent trying to find something worth showing – to find something I could put my name on.  It was really hard, and really rewarding.  I’m very excited to share the full set with you, but I think I’m going to wait until Spencer puts all the images together so we can be presented as a group.  In the meantime, here’s a teaser…

It took me a bit longer than expected, but here I am with your second of two Italy updates! (You can see the first half of our trip here.) We left off with the tiny town of Castellina with a super-creepy entire skeleton “relic.” And though I put Siena in the title of the post, there were no photos of Siena. Well, so it goes. I didn’t take many and we were only there one afternoon. So we move on to dah-dah-DAH-dah Florence! Florence was really really great.

I’m baaaaaaack! So, as probably everyone who has ever heard my name knows by now, I was in Italy recently. George and I hopped the pond and spent three beautiful weeks touring the middle of the country.
