Picspam! Here I go....

I have taken these photos at various points in the last couple of years, but I never thought they were up to much. I am rather unhappy about publishing them when so many of my f-list are so astonishingly good. However!

Thanks

Growing up in the burbs near L.A., I couldn't imagine living so close to such history. For us, the Roman Empire was what we saw during the annual showing of 'Ben-Hur,' and "old" meant before the Dodgers came to town in 1957!

Well, to explain: the SUBJECT was worth photographing. The antiquities of mighty Rome are something whose power anyone can feel - let alone an immensely intelligent young lady from another of the world's great ancient countries. The photos as photos are mediocre - poorly composed, centreless, occasionally wobbly, and in some cases skewed. And these are a selection - you get to see the, ahem, best. And please no comforting words: I am an artist myself, and a photographer's son, and I know when a photograph is good or bad. Mine are bad.
