bellezza.it







If you were to play a word-association game at looking at this last picture and the word 'cheesy' came to mind, let's just say it's the right place, in a gastronomic sense but of course! Italy is all those superlatives that people use to describe it. The architecture especially, is too kind to even the most casual of photographers, as it really does not give any room to "screw-up" a picture. The mundane as it were is probably more rarefied than say ozone above the Antarctic in context of the built form. This collection of pictures represents my attempt to go off the beaten track in a sense of composition. The hope with this set is that it inspires you to go make yourself some fettuccine alfredo. If on the other hand you go shortly hereafter to look for Domino'c coupons then, well, you have the choicest Italian hand-gestures awaiting you. You may not see them, but you will feel them.

  1. wonderful post! It made me call up the wife and say "ti amore". Sadly, all she had to say was "you need to drink less coffee."
    On a more phototgraphish note - this gives me an idea for a theme. perhaps we can all dedicate our next posts to "unconventional looks at conventional places." subject to individual interpretations, of course.
