When paying, please write in the “Comment” section  something like “4 tickets for the show”  so I know that your donation is for tickets and not just a straight donation. Upon notification of this transaction, I will contact you with details of the evening and we can figure out the best way to get your tickets to you.

Thank you so much for your support in my

Bella Roma

I dare you not to fall in love…


Fori Romani


Colosseo


Inside the museum at the Colosseo


It’s a museum – there has to be artifacts, right?


CINGHIALE!



Piazza Mignanelli – directly outside of our apartment


Restaurants beneath our window made for a very colorful
late-night party atmosphere. Combine that with the wild seagulls
that chose to sleep during daylight hours, and you realize
one reason why the Romans probably like their caffe’ so strong.


Creative parking


Really smart parking


Il Vaticano


Surprising they let you take photographs of the paintings –
without a flash though, that is why they came out so dark.


Fontana di Trevi


Piazza del Popolo

venezia via vegas

Friday, December 3rd, 2010

Mastering the art of illumination – as I look back at these photos taken at
The Venetian in Las Vegas, I realize that so much of what makes Vegas Vegas
is the exceptional, sometimes restrained yet sometimes
completely over the top use of lighting.
It’s what makes this rendition of St. Marks Square so very happy-making
and surreal. I look forward to experiencing the actual place
to finally see the grand inspiration for all of this.

Great memories of my Mom’s birthday celebration with my sister….
And next time you happen to get there,
make sure you go to the Mirage to see
Cirque du Soleil’s LOVE.
You don’t even need to be a big Beatle’s fan to thoroughly enjoy it
– so different from their other shows –
equally as magical and moving.

It was fun and I will enjoy doing something like that again some time in the not too far off future.

Enjoy the rest of your summer!
