Firenze: My town.

This is the view that best captures the florentine skyline. The main building in the center of the city is the Duomo, which is one of the most impressive cathedrals in the world. It took over 300 years to construct and has the biggest self supporting dome roof in all of Europe. Anyway, this is where I spend most of my time; in Firenze: the capital of Tuscany. As you can imagine, the food and wine here are insanely good and the Florentine people are very hospitable. It is much smaller than rome, so you are able to walk everywhere, and see the same people out on the street. It truly is a great city to live in and look at, for that matter.

As a lot of you know, I am currently living in Florence, Italy and have been for the past couple of months. Being In a new country, learning a new language and traveling to dozens of new places has been so amazing that I haven't kept everyone up to date as well as I should. Through the medium of this amazing blogging site, you will be able to see what I am up to and what I have been photographing. As a photo student, I will try to put up as much of my work as I can from here on out, continuing when get back state side.

Anyway, as of right now, I am in Florence going through my normal activities of going to school, eating, skating, photographing, loving and learning (a little bit of drinking here and there too). I have been traveling like mad, however. I since arriving in Europe, I have been all over Italy (Rome, Venice, Verona, Genova, Cinque Terre, Chianti and throughout Tuscany), went snowboarding in Switzerland, drinking beer at Oktoberfest in Munich and Two weeks seeing London and Ireland. The travel will not stop either, I just got back from Paris last night, I am off to Malta in a couple weeks and I have a snowboarding trip to France in the works as well. 

As you can Imagine, all of this travel has helped generate a lot of photos. So from here on out expect to see a heap of images from my travels and other crazy things I have gotten into. Thanks for tuning in and enjoy the  content.

Ciao!
