Caught Up in the Moment

Place taken: Vatican City, Italy

ACM London & Florence, Spring 2009

During our day in the Vatican City, our entire group was entranced by the beauty of St. Peter's Basilica. When I noticed the day's light casting a beam through a stained glass window, I asked Caroline Castro (a Knox student on the trip with me) to stand still as I adjusted my exposure time. We ended up having to encourage passersby to walk in and around her, as the majority halted when they saw I was trying to photograph her. This is one of my favorite shots of the entire trip; it came out exactly as I'd hoped.
