Day 33-La Clase di fotographia

No, non sono una giornalista

Sono una studentessa di fotographia!

Today, we had our first photography class outing! We went to the Campo di Fiori market that was full of fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, cheese, spices, and soooo much more. Our school's portfolio theme for the year is "traces" therefore, we have to photograph shapes, people, or architecture within that subject.

We ran into many interesting people in the market, many vendors yelled at us for photographing their items, or tried to sell us things; many people getting nervous about all the cameras around, especially the old people asking if we were journalists. Some people would stare at us when we were taking a picture of something random and look at us if we were crazy, or there were several noisy people trying to follow us thinking something interesting was going to happen!

My favorite moment of the day was when some of us were in the same piazza taking photos of this cafe. I was trying to capture this unique looking waiter dressed in an all creme tux with a red bow tie. The waiter was serving an elderly man who was talking on his bluetooth (which I have never seen in Italy!) He kept laughing because all our cameras were facing his direction. He was confused but kept talking then he pulled out his camera and started taking pictures of us!!! It was so hilarious!
