So I'm now back in the states.. on a rainy island... slightly missing the Tuscan sun and my 80 degree day in Florence.
On my last day in Italy I wandered the streets of my favorite town... Florence.. I studied there when I was 18... again when I was 20... and I actually photographed my first wedding under my own business years ago. So obviously, I not only have an attraction to the beauty of Firenze but its much deeper then that.
What I did realize this trip is how difficult it can be to capture a city you've visited for many years in a new light. So, all of a sudden I found myself photographing the different things... tourists, graffiti (which I was quite surprised and a little sad to see), and of course food... my favorite thing to do in Florence is to go to Mercato Centrale and make friends with the butchers!! Too bad the customs officers DID NOT appreciate my cinghiale (wild boar that is cured old world style)... but some reason they were ok with my pecorino...
Then it was off to aperitivo with my awesome assistant Lily who is in Florence studying for a few months!! I then ended the evening with my dear dear Florentine friend Nadia (who's wedding I happened to photograph in Ibiza Spain just a few months ago)..
Until we meet again my sweet sweet Firenze!!
Love
