Italy 2012

My wife and I spent two weeks in Italy for our second wedding anniversary. It was a fabulous trip in which I shot a little over 1000 photos. It was very difficult to choose a small subset to show because Italy has a lot to offer. This collection is a little more than I originally intended to put on this page, but they represent some of the best that Italy offered to me. Note that they are not in the order of our trip. Also note that some of the photographs have sloping edges to them. This is a result of performing perspective correction on those photographs to preserve the correct shape of architectural subjects while not cropping in too much. Enjoy!
