After a bit of a hectic trip to Italy, seeing as much as we could with our four days in Rome (plus another day in Naples and Pompeii), I’m still working through my photos and a long way from being done. This one is an early pick, where I challenged myself to work with harsh direct sunlight during our time in Vatican City last Friday.
