Rome, Italy
My exhibition in Rome at the Museum of Contemporary Art opened December 3, 2011, and will run through April 29, 2012.
As part of the exhibition, I was commissioned to photograph locations all over Italy.
Here are a few of those pictures:

There is no more magnificent absurdity than Venice. To build a city where it is impossible to build a city is madness in itself,
but to build there one of the most elegant and grandest of cities is the madness of genius.
- Alexander Herzen

Rome, Italy
Whether you say Gioia di Vivere in Italian, or Joie de Vivre in French, or other expressions which
attempt to capture a passion for life, you know the difficulty
of expressing the intangible in words. I hope these pictures reflect the vibrant joy of life in Italy.
