Rome tram 7091 (Stanga/1949-50) at the Piazza del Risorgimento terminus, close to the Vatican. 25/04/2004 [TRM 117].
So here we are, on the road again, and I hadn't sorted out the Sony A6000 to Snapseed interfaces.
I shoot RAW and my image transfers from this trip look meh. After 4 weeks it finally occurred to me to look at the file size. Lo and behold, thumbnail jpgs were transferred. Ugh.
This is why my cellphone images look sharp on Flickr and the A6000 images do not.
I tested shooting RAW + JPG and the good, full Rez JPG does transfer. Lesson learned.
Next thing is image processing.
I read about how Norman Seeff used to print high contrast works with a twist. He used a black stocking between the enlarger lens and paper to give a interesting softness to some of his images.
He wasn't by any means the only one to do this.
When I worked at Samy Cameras photo lab on Sunset Blvd in Hollyweird we used to do this at client request. It was really no big deal.
What was a bigger deal was our use of Agfa Portriga Rapid 111 Glossy paper. It gave a gorgeous deep walnut brown tone. We used this for may of the gallery shows we printed for various then famous photographers.
Taking the black stocking idea and borrowing tones from Portriga Rapid, it turns out, expresses pretty well how I feel about Rome.
So, here is a series of images done in an old, outdated, likely not very hip manner.

The Jewish Museum of Rome in the basement of the Great Synagogue of Rome offers both information on the Jewish presence in Rome since the second century BCE and a large collection of works of art produced by the Jewish community. The museum was established in 1960. It was initially set up in a room behind the Torah ark of the Great Synagogue. To permit expansion, the museum was moved to the basement of the Great Synagogue, officially opening in November 2005. In the early 2000s, the museum was renamed “The Jewish Museum of Rome” in order to emphasize the close relationship between the Jewish community and the city Support for the new museum and its collection was provided by the European Union, the Italian and Lazio governments, and the city of Rome, as well as by private donations.
The museum’s art collection has largely been donated by members of the community. It reflects the long history of Jews in Rome and, in particular, the Ghetto period (1555 - 1870) when all Jews from Rome and surrounding areas were forced to live in a small area. The collection includes approximately 900 liturgical and ceremonial textiles, illuminated parchments, siome 100 marble pieces and about 400 pieces of silverwork. Also displayed are some of the many documents held in the Community’s archives.
