I was really excited to finally visit Rome - so much art and architecture was on my list. What I discovered was an underlying heavy and uncomfortable energy throughout the city - particular at the Colosseum. It came as a surprise considering how exciting it was that they were digging out the underground parts at that time. Now open to the public, this is the backstage area for the horrors that took place for spectators. I couldn't shake how people were posing inside with smiles and laughter. The energy there was so thick and intense that there was nothing to smile about - rather, just observe and take it all in. This picture hits it right on the nose, @erikx. Per our conversation on the places we've photographed and the unspoken moments that shook us to our core - Rome and the Colosseum are right up there with some of the most intense places I've ever experienced. These days, I still see selfies and smiles - this place runs much deeper.

It was autumn 2004 and I traveled alone. The images are on film and I rarely share them. I've never forgotten how it felt there.
