Trip to Italy

Posted in Travel show hide 4 comments

In the summer of 2007 I had the opportunity to travel to Italy. I love to Travel because it really opens up your mind to the world of possibilities. Overall I was there for 5 weeks visiting cities such as Florence, Rome, and Pisa. I also had the opportunity to trace my family roots back to Cefelu, Sicily. I spent the last week in the same small town where my great grandmother grew up in Sant Ambrogio, Sicily.

Truly an amazing experience. Here are some of my favorite photos. I would love the chance to shoot a wedding in this beautiful country.

Jeremy Davis - Ben, These are great. I especially love the one with the lady in front of the colosseum. By the way, the bridal show was fun. I say that it was worth it even for the 2 that I booked from it. I got to meet some really cool people there.

ben - For most of these I used my 10-22mm canon lens. I love to shoot wide angle. Since I have switched to a full frame body I am thinking about getting the 16-35mm 2.8 lens so I can achieve the same angle of view.
