Mondays. I hate Mondays. Even abroad you are pummeled with work. The class had a photography assignment due today. I got the first two pictures covered, but I was having trouble with the last. The assignment was to take a portrait of a random person and then get his/her contact information. It's intimidating first of all to go up to a person and take their picture, especially when you know next to zero Italian. Plus, I am having a hard time liking the camera I have. Over half of the class have really nice, high tech cameras, and mine is essentially just a point and shoot. It doesn't matter if I change the ISO or shutter speed because I can see no difference in the quality of the photos. So it's been frustrating, especially since I've really been enjoying the photography portion of the class.I finally worked up the courage to ask a table of people to pose for me. As I was taking pictures of the guy in the glasses, he checked out a woman who walked behind me. I'm glad I was able to catch that moment.
The guy with the beard I got a few good shots of. I really enjoyed his beard and I am planning on bringing him back to the states after I befriend him as a present to my roommate Kayla.
Overall it was a hot day with lots of work. We had class from 9-5, dinner, then a critique of our pictures from 8:30-10pm. I couldn't tell you how happy I was to finally lay in my bed.
