Back from our trip

So....I'm back from my first 10-day trip of the semester. We visited Florence, Siena, and Rome and I have something like 1400-1700 photos to process for Facebook (so y'all can see them). Also, studio started right back up as soon as we got back as well, so again I find myself a busy man. It would be stressful if I hadn't spent last semester studying in Charleston (the most stressful semester of Architecture school imaginable). 

As part of our Field Studies requirements, we have to sketch the things we see during our travels and today we had to present our sketches to the class. As we toured Florence, Siena, and Rome, we stopped from time to time throughout each day to sketch the various buildings and works of art we were learning about. Because I had to compile them for class today, I decided to go ahead and put them up on Facebook. Here's the link to the album (which I will update with new sketches throughout the semester): Study Abroad Sketches (Remember, that you don't have to be a member of Facebook to view any of the albums I link to from my blog.)

Once, I get my photos processed and safely backed up on our external drive, I will post about the highs and lows of our trip...until then, enjoy the sketches and keep checking back!
