Fantasticly bright/clear photos - i'll be headed back to Rome in May - i've noticed you have multiple primes at each location - are you constantly switching lenses or did you bring 2 bodies?

Thank you! I had two bodies and only prime lenses on this trip. Enjoy your trip!

My main trip was actually Venice for the mask carnival. I did get a second body quite sometime ago with that event in mind. The shooting there was definitely more fast pace and more intense. I had both setups using a double Blackrapid strap pretty much all the time. More often than not (some 75% or so), I had my FE 35mm f/1.4 on one body and Batis 85mm f/1.8 on the other. What a great combo for that event! I used the Batis 25mm and FE 55mm f/1.8 less frequently. BTW, it is not uncommon to see folks with 2, or even 3 cameras hanging around their neck during that period.
In Rome, I was a little more "conservative". Except for the visit to the Vatican (St Peter's Basilica and the museum), I actually took and used only a single body, especially while walking around in the city. Yes, I did change lenses quite often that way. But there was no pressure and I could take my time doing so.
Brought my camera to caucus last night, figuring I'd see something interesting with the line (enthusiasm, interesting geometry or juxtaposition), get a photo with the kids under signs, or maybe folks arguing during a resolution. When I rounded the corner and saw the ballot box, it hit me. Took out my camera, focused, and click. Better than I could have planned or staged, the next guy in line took his turn to slip in his ballot. Perfect.
