When I'm in Paris and France I'm more or less working. ("More or less" being the operative phrase.) But, when I'm elsewhere in La Riviere I'm a tourist. And that was the case last year when, after a lengthy trip around France ("working"), I was able to spend a fabulous fall week in Rome. (All pre-Covid, of course.)
After a couple of months of shooting all day, every day, I weary of hauling around the DSLR and tend to rely on my iPhone X. As a result, virtually all of these were made using that pocket-sized device. Not perfect, but, man, I'm only a tourist!
Here is a small selection of black-and-white pictures from that week in Rome.
