Jean Ramey
Thanks The Remote Life! It’s exciting to see the world through others and their photography. I’m honored to be featured with such a talented group of travel photographers. Those fleeting moments in travel are captured forever through photos, and are the best souvenirs I could ever ask for. My photo above (by Jean Ramey Photography) was taken while sitting at an outdoor cafe in Piazza Navona, Rome. While taking a quick break from wandering around Rome, I noticed the beautiful reflection of the piazza in a wine glass and snapped a quick photo. It’s one of the most popular photos on my site and reflects the beauty of travel in even small moments.
