Golden Hour on the Grand Canal
Captured with my trusty #Leica – because #Venice deserves nothing less.
I am excited to announce my May Photography Workshops in Venice!
Perfect light, fewer crowds, and that irresistible spring magic... Whether you're into storytelling, street, or black-and-white, there's a workshop designed for you.
Limited spots available – link in bio.
And yes, I'll be back in Venice end of September for more light-chasing, coffee-sipping, and photo-walking magic. Join me?

This image has remained in my mind's eye for years. I was going to write that it was the visual equivalent of an earworm, but that wouldn't be quite right, as that term suggests something annoying of which one would be glad to be rid.
The Grand Canal, Venice, Looking South toward the Rialto Bridge (1730s) by Canaletto. This painting depicts Venice's business and commercial center. The distant building with an arcade at ground level and many chimneys is the Fondaco dei Tedeschi, which served as the warehouse of German merchants. Just to the right is the foot of the Rialto Bridge, and further to the right is the Palazzo dei Camerlenghi.
We must destroy this Oligarch display of power.
