6 frozen moments on the roads of Italy
What according to you is the most complex, enigmatic and unfathomable natural phenomena on this earth?
For us the answer is always, humanity, the people of this world.
Thus it is small wonder that we always try to capture and freeze the tableaux of the lives of people in our cameras whenever and wherever we travel.
Recently we were reading about street photography on National Geographic and were inspired to share some of our experiments with you, though we must confess we are no where compared to the amazing photographs captured in National Geographic.
This post brings to you 6 such moments frozen in time from different places in Italy.
Freeze-1
What a backdrop for a wedding shoot, The Colosseum in Rome!
Freeze-2
Freeze-3
Freeze-4
Freeze-5
Freeze-6
Did you enjoy reading about our frozen moments? Which are the best moments that you have captured on your travels?
Do check out our people fascination in one of our earlier posts which also got published on Huffington Post.
I have exactly the same picture as no 2 – orange man frozen in front of the Colloseum, Rome! The dog one is cute too 🙂
Oh, that’s nice. Thanks Samiya. 🙂
I sadly understand too well a few of these images, particularly the lady at Pisa. And I have also captured awkward landmark wedding pics around Italy… Why do people do that? Do they want wedding photos with tourists?
Ya I wonder why
Those are some very well captured shots! Just in moment.
Also reminded me of my Italian adventure 😊😊
Thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you Archana. 🙂
what a fun idea! I’m going to be walking the streets of LA’s arts district today. I may have to try this out!
Do try out and share.
Love this post. We saw a similar balancing act guy in front of the Colosseum. My boys were fascinated. #6 cracks me up! Thanks for sharing!
Haha..
Love it!!
Thank you 🙂
Such a great idea! I might do this next time I’m travelling!
Yes, sometimes it will be interesting to see those snaps.
Wow, those are incredible! You really captured the daily life in each place. So often I try to focus only on the scenery or an important monument, but your inclusion of people really adds to the depth of each place!
Thanks. Glad you liked them. 🙂
Interesting moments! Here’s one of mine that I like (I hope the link will be permitted) – https://plus.google.com/u/0/+AjaySoodTravelure/posts/dmd5Enf5yXN
Wow, that’s nice!
As funny and awkward as these photo’s are, I love them in a way. Business is business, and if I could do mine while seeing amazing things, that seems like a pretty good trade-off!
They are still quite wonderful pictures.. and yes business is business, even in front of the tower. I guess we are so used to being surrounded by these beauties we do not even care anymore…
Nice post! Loved the last one!! Business is business- hahaha
Thank you Ashima. 🙂
I can’t stop laughing. Love them.
Thanks Corinne. Glad you liked them. 🙂
These are so much fun! I love people watching when I’m traveling. You definitely found some fantastic moments!
Thank you Natalie. We indeed could capture some memorable moments. 🙂
Haha nice shots. Candid shots are the best – true life captured.
Thanks Hung. Cannot agree more. 🙂
Love these shots! I feel like in my travels, I focus too much on capturing beautiful, picturesque places/sights (rather than moments and people, as you’ve done here). There’s certainly beauty in these moments as well 🙂 maybe I should make more of an effort to capture them!
Thanks Christina. 🙂 We like to capture these simple slices of life!
Never thought of paying attention to the “frozen moments” when we travel! Great post!
Thank you. 🙂
Haha! The ‘business is business’ one was a little sad but funny. Thats a really big wedding dress!
:). Yes true. Thank you. 🙂
I love to try and subtly capture the everyday people going about their lives… I’m sure the Colosseum would be an amazing backdrop, but for that temporary fencing 😉
Yes, very true.
balancing act guy is so typical haha! really need to get to Italy. Can’t believe I didn’t get there yet!
Fun article 🙂
Haha. Thank you. 🙂
Really interesting moments indeed! Those balancing characters are pretty remarkable. I love frozen moments from my travels, even if they aren’t perfect like those of National Geographic! You always have something to aspire to anyway! 😉
Yes, true. Our experiences need not be perfect. Thank you. 🙂
very creative list… 🙂
What a fun post! So many great captures! The world sure is a crazy place.
Oh wow, what amazing photos. I love Italy so much!
It’s interesting people watching for sure! You caught some funny moments, too, but my favorite of these photos was the cute dog.
I definitely must try, very cute idea <3 !
Wow, you have taken some great shots here, even if you don’t think they’re National Geographic worthy LOL!
These are great photos and enthralled with the balancing act, wonder how he does that one? Must have been a fun experience. Love freeze 3, Traditional outfits for various things around the world always bring a smile to my face for some reason.
The picture on the bottom made me so sad. There is a big and beautiful world around us to discover and she is missing out on taking it all in. Sadly a lot of peoople are like that now.
It is great that there are some authentic shots out there, some people can be oblivious to culture lol x
Very interesting photos. They capture some poignant moments. We also love seeing photos of things and people that we didn’t even know we photographed.
Frozen moments, haha, I love it! Great way to describe photos.
This is amazing! I think it’s nice to capture moments such as these. They give you a glimpse of the life of other people when they’re in Italy.
LOL, those fake balancing acts are everywhere. I’ve seen them in Madrid and here in the US.
I would love to visit Rome.
Cool! haha, I’d like to go to Italy some day, too!
I do have a couple of shots from my trips but they’re not as cute as yours. Mine are like serious & artsy – will those count as well?
PS. I love your pics! The one with the guards is my fave.
oh my, that looks like you had a great time. There are so many memories there. i want to go to italy some day.
All of these snippets are so much fun. I would love to be able to travel to Italy!
I love all of these photos! I have an affinity for “slice of life” pictures.
Those balancing acts are amazing to watch and really do have me baffled to how they can do it and for so long
What a great post. I love the bride and groom (I am a wedding planner here). And freeze 6 is funny too. Thanks for sharing your post!
That balancing act is pretty darn impressive. That little dog is too cute too! I’d dognap him.
I really loved your freeze moments! Especially the one of the lady handling business😂
These are some great frozen moments.
One of my most memorable vacations was Italy! Your post took me back!
My most memorable vacation was
Italy! This is taking me back!
I love your frozen moments! I cannot believe I haven’t done any traveling for leisure this past year so I don’t have any frozen moments :/
I love the idea of the glimpses into street life. The balancing act is my favorite just because it’s so mesmerizing to me! The dog is super cute too!
What a wonderful way to bring together a great set of photos. It reminds of taking photos in Puglia Italy: women sitting together making pasta, men repairing fishing nets a group of men having a drink at a bar. Thanks, a fabulous post!
