My First Press Conference Ever

Rome

Ok. It wasn't really MY press conference. We were trying to find one of the best gelato restaurants in Rome, Giolitti's:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giolitti

It's a stone's throw from Palazzo Montecitorio that houses the Chamber of Deputies. Suddenly a man came out of the Palazzo
and held an improptu news conference. He must have been one of the Deputies. He's the man with gray hair, glasses,
and a band aid on his cheek. (I assume he had been in a fight in the Chamber as it gets pretty wild in there!) My
wife yelled to me, "Get in there and take some photographs!" I nudged my way
in behind the guy with the Nikon D3.

Although I couldn't understand anything he said, the press conference seemed very important since he was surrounded by
reporters, including one from Michigan! As soon as it was over, we walked five minutes to Giolitti's and had
the best gelato ever!

By the way, the ISO 1600 had been set for the Pantheon and was way too high here!

Great story. I am also guilty of shooting at ridiculously high ISO settings at times. ;-)

Nice shot, Jay, and I like your wife's idea. V
Though language is an instrument for communication, it is very interesting and seems the same expression no matter what langue.
