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So, here is a series of images done in an old, outdated, likely not very hip manner.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 Nero aqueduct, also known as the "Celimontano Aqueduct", winds its arches along a path that from Piazza di Porta Maggiore passes through via Statilia reaching the Celio hill, near the Colosseum.
Built by Nero between 54-68 AD. as a branch of the Claudius aqueduct to feed the Domus Aurea, his sumptuous residence, it was extended by Domitian to supply his palace on the Palatine.
The famous city of Rome has nearly 3 million inhabitants, but only 2 metro lines. The public transport heavily relies on bus lines. Yet, I could not find any good bus map, so I made one myself. Here it is!
Size: 3600 x 2880 (when downloaded in full size).
Some (less important) bus lines are omitted.
Two more metro lines are being constructed under Rome right now, but that will take some years to complete.
The marble base and statues in front of the basilica were designed by Ignazio Jacometti in honor of Pope Pius the IX. It was completed in 1869. The other three niches contain statues of St. Bartholomew (shown here), St. John of God and St. Francis of Assisi.
The Basilica of St. Bartholomew on the Island (Basilica di San Bartolomeo all'Isola) is a titular minor basilica founded in 998 by Otto III, Holy Roman Emperor. It contains relics of St. Bartholomew the Apostle. In Roman times, the Temple of Aesculapius stood on the site of the modern church. Emperor Otto built this church, which was initially dedicated to his friend Adalbert of Prague. It was renovated by Pope Paschal II in 1113 and again in 1180, after its rededication upon the arrival of the relics of the apostle Bartholomew. The relics were sent to Rome in 809. The relics are located within an ancient Roman porphyry bathtub with lions' heads under the main altar. The marble wellhead bears the figures of the Savior, Adalbert and Bartholomew and Otto III. The church was badly damaged by a flood in 1557 and was reconstructed, with its present Baroque façade, in 1624, to designs of Orazio Torriani. Further restorations were undertaken in 1852. The interior of the church preserves fourteen ancient Roman columns and two lion supports that date from the earliest reconstruction of the basilica. Coincidently, its Cardinal priest has been Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has a huge collection of ancient art from Rome, Greece, AssyriaâŠjust about everywhere. The bed shown here is a survivor. As amazing as the design of the bed itself is, the fact that it survived multiple sacks and general political upheavals is even more amazing.
