Venice

At last count there have been 3,428,583,912 photographs taken in Venice during the past 150 years, and an average of 172,315 additional new ones are taken each day. Does the world need another photograph of a gondola, a canal or of St. Mark's Square? Likely not.
In early September 2002 my wife and I, together with another couple, spent 4 days vacationing in Venice. Naturally I brought along a camera(Leica M7) and a couple of lenses. Nothing to weigh me down, since this was a vacation after all, but since I am as passionate about doing street photography as I am about my landscape work I ended up doing some shooting that went beyond most people's typical travel snapshots. Indeed I took some of those as well, but (you'll be pleased to hear), I won't bore you with them. Seen one gondola shot, seen 'em all‚ right?
Though I have visited Italy many time this was my first trip to Venice. If you've never been there you'll be pleased to hear that the city is every bit as enchanting and wonder...
