Margaret Bourke-White.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
While in Trastevere, a Roman neighborhood, we noticed a photography show was going up at Museo Di Roma centered around food. We could see a picture of people eating watermelons through the window. Since my fellowship was food-related, we went in to view the show...⁠⁠
⁠⁠
It turns out that the watermelon image wasn't even part of the food show. These were all for a solo show of Margaret Bourke-White images. We had no idea how emotional the work would be to see. It was incredibly moving for both of us and we were the only ones in the room, making the silence and their stories come through even more intensely.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
We were brought to tears looking at the holocaust images which she took just before survivors were finally released and we saw history repeat itself in the Civil Rights images. She seemed to be everywhere, from photographing Gandhi moments before he passed away to documenting the Apartheid regime in South Africa. Scroll through and you can see just some of the images she captured during her long career. The last image is of her with a Rolleiflex like mine. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
These images stuck with us for the rest of the day.⁠⁠

The Sacro Bosco aka Park of the Monsters (Parco dei Mostri in Italian), also named Garden of Bomarzo, is an eerie 17th century wooded garden featuring horrors of the era from tortured souls, to mythological dragons and sirens. Designed out of ptsd and insanity, rather than symmetry and comfort.

I shot a few rolls of 120 film here and was surprised so many came out given it was mostly covered in dark shade. It could be a hot day and this place would still stay humid, cool and dark underneath the oaks and chestnut trees. It is a combination of beautiful, magical and sad all at once.

These trees ♥

We walked through the Villa Borghese park and gardens to make our way to Villa Medici. The walk was quiet and serene, peaceful and sunny, with no tourists in sight. A peek into the ordinary lives of Romans enjoying a beautiful day in the park.

We held hands and walked through these beautiful Umbrella Pines, leaning in unison. This is my favorite shot of them.

My final roll of film has come through and it is of a long and wonderful day wandering the Villas in Rome.

Here you can see Villa Medici - Villa Médicis The French Academy of Rome. We took a tour of the garden and learned about the French Academy. Artists of all backgrounds get to live HERE, in this beautiful Villa, for several months to a year to work completely in their artform.

We saw small children of the artists playing and riding bikes through the grounds as if the whole Villa was their playground. It was wonderful and so inspiring. To think something like this is possible, to be able to focus and surround yourself with art, and to be consumed with the action of making art.

You can also see a shot from their current exhibition: Toiletpaper & Martin Parr. Check out their website to read more about it, an outdoor installation of clever images that were a sensory overload of color, humor, and playfulness. @villa_medici
