Rome Photography Tour

Today Stephen did an AMAZING one-on-one tour with Giulio D’Ercole from Rome Photo Fun Tours. Giulio is a professional photographer and Professor of Photography at the Istituto Pantheon of Technology and Design. I spent the time resting and recovering from all the fun yesterday, as well as reading and doing some painting (trying out the travel art kit I put together before we left home). 

Stephen said the tour was phenomenally good, with a great mix of photography tutoring as well as hearing the history of the sites they visited (& they visited a LOT - Stephen walked 11km on the tour). They met as the sun was rising so were able to get a lot of shots before the sites were crowded with tourists. 

Here are some of the 150 photos Stephen took.
