16mm Monday

Here is an oldie from September in Siena. This rider was spotted cruising through Piazza del Duomo mid-day. Enjoy

Walking with a Camera

   After an afternoon rain storm I decided to hit the streets of Siena with my old camera. A camera which has served me well for almost 4 years now, and spent most of it's time in the past 3 months in the hands of one of our photo students; who's camera broke shortly after she arrived to the program. It was a fantastic evening for a leisurely romp around the city. I began my walkabout in the Torre Contrada, and concluded near the Duomo. Here are a few images from the tour:

16mm Monday

Greetings and welcome to another addition to the 16mM archive. I found this gem of modern architecture last week in the parking garage under Via Sant'Agata in Siena. Since I have become very familiar with the map of this small city over the past 5 months, I find myself venturing to unknown destinations in the medieval city such as; this beautiful 5 story underground monument. 

Cheers

Montepulciano and Siena's Market

 A few photos from the weekend. Starting with my adventure to Montepulciano with Katie and Chris.

Below: Market in Piazza Del Campo, and a few photos from Siena's streets after the sunset.

Cheers!

16mm Monday

   Welcome to another installment of 16mmM. This weekend there was a fantastic market in Piazza Del Campo, with vendors selling everything from locally made meats, cheeses, wine, and olive oil to hand-made wool sweaters and other crafts. I found myself at the market at least 5 times this weekend, as it continued through Saturday and Sunday, finding something fresh and exciting every time.

   I captured this photo last night, about a half hour after the sun had slipped past the horizon. The typical dark blue sky was hanging prominently over the medieval city. A city that seems to truly come alive at night, especially this time of year. This was specifically apparent last night, when I observed more people in Siena's famous Piazza than I have seen since the Palio horse races of the summer months.

   Stay tuned for more images from my day trip to Montepulciano this past weekend. As well as more images from the market and the streets of Siena.

Salute!
