The Italians.

So, after looking at one of my classmate’s photos, I’ve decided to focus more on the Italian people as subject matter, rather than architecture and inanimate objects. It must have been fate, because while we were enduring a long wait at the bus stop (coming back from Ostia, where we got busted for rubbing ancient inscriptions – more on that later), this nun happened to show up. I was so captivated by her simple beauty that I took as many pictures of her as I could. I think she knew I was shooting her, but never turned away or said anything. This shot was captured with my zoom lens. I really think it quite stunning.
