Shooting in Italy


Here is the typical day of a travel photographer shooting in Italy... specifically in Verona and ROME. 10 am - wake up head down stairs for espresso and fruit breakfast. 11am stroll along the streets and snap a few warm up pics... they are all amazing, not because your a good photographer, but because its Italy, and everything looks cool.

11:50am park your ass in a restaurant and eat,... then when you have attempted to taste everything on the menu, and dropped about $150 euros. 1:15pm you head out again. but your tired... so you need another espresso so you stroll some more and find a nice cafe.


1:45pm you finish your espresso, walk some more, take some midday sun photographs, yay! your a hero your pics are looking great, your onfire you can literally smell the paycheck coming your way... 2:22pm, time for some gelato as personal reward for capturing so many great pics.
3:10pm leave the gelato bar, the day is closing out so you need finish your photo list. So you decide to work hard, after all you are a professional, and you need to do your job... 4:05pm you decide your list is complete for now, time to find a nice place to eat supper.

BACK HOME - Two weeks later, you cross reference you restaurant, espresso and gelato recipts to your paycheck and realize that you actually lost money, and gained 9 lbs around your midsection...
