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So, here is a series of images done in an old, outdated, likely not very hip manner.
On the morning of our second day in Rome, Mike and I headed to St. Peter's Square (Piazza San Pietro), passing through several labyrinthine streets en route. Along the way, Mike snapped this photo of Rome's old cobbled streets. While they look very charming, they can be murder on your feet...! ;-)

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.

These columns came out of the Temple to Jupiter on the Capitoline Hill. Repurposed, of course, by the church. As is the statue of Jupiter himself.

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.
