Shelly Perkins Photography is in the heart of Oklahoma. This is a random blog of Shelly's art, photography, and her complete love for life. She posts images she's made and other images or stories worth retelling. Currently Shelly is studying Fine Art Photography at The University of Oklahoma and exploring the art within her world. She is no longer taking portrait appointments on a regular basis but on an educational and spiritual journey behind her camera.

Dinner with our OU in Arezzo crew at the Ristorante La Vittoria near the Vatican in Rome, Italy.
"At OU's Italian Center students with no to early intermediate knowledge of Italian are provided with an introductory experience of Italian language and culture while taking a variety of OU coursework. At the cradle of western civilization, students can enjoy the Mediterranean atmosphere and study an abundance of ancient art objects close by, while spending a good time with fellow Sooners in a small, quiet, and secure town, untouched by mass tourism."
"OUA's student center is located on the central Corso Italia in a renovated medieval Palazzo. There Sooners can relax in the student lounge, prepare and enjoy meals in the kitchen, work and communicate in a cutting edge PC/Mac lab, and attend classes in beautiful classrooms equipped with modern technology for effective and versatile instruction. This building also houses the administrative offices and the apartment of our Faculty in Residence - allowing for close interaction with and easy access to the OU professor who accompanies the students throughout the academic year."
