Milan Color Play

I got back from Milan last might and am feeling extra loopy today. I usually love the jet lag from returning from Europe (i.e., waking up at 5 or 6am easily) but I never really adjusted while I was in Milan, so this "good" jet lag never happened. I'm just trying so hard not to nap right now.

I didn't take many photos while I was there (I was too busy eating and drinking!), but did manage to put together a little fun color play between street scenes and the local market scenes. The produce was really beautiful, and after endless months of winter vegetables here, it was quite refreshing to see beautiful greens again. Below are photos from the Viale Papiniano Market mixed with all-over street scenes from walking around.









(So many bikes!)

  14. Love the juxtaposition of close ups and cityscapes shots. Micro and macro. I can imagine you shooting wonderful city guides this way. Just an idea!

  16. Going to Italy is my dream! It's a photographer's paradise, everything looks so beautiful. If you don't mind me asking Alice, what is the smallest aperture that you recommend for sharp,detailed photos(handheld)? Any advice is much appreciated and thank you for being an inspiration to us all!
