My Photo scholarship 2010 entry

Italy | Monday, August 30, 2010 | 5 photos

The series of photos was taken this year in Venice. I waited for year for vacation and had no idea this time where to go, so idea to go to Venice was spontaneous. Somehow it helps a lot when you don’t have idea, frame of place you travel to. You can paint your own picture, make your own story. It was one day and I spent it with joy of being.

Photo 1 – Early morning. Gondolier is sailing with 2 giant ships and I wandering how technically it is possible.

Photo 2 – Morning and cathedrals and churches are open. Some are in hurry, some - not. For couple times question of believe arises. Most of tourists are observers, they do see facade of beautiful buildings. How it is possible to touch the heart and get better others culture when you are one or two day’s guest?

Photo 3 - It was raining but hopefully stopped next morning and paddles looked like small windows to different world. You get that feeling of being Alice in Wonderland.

Photo 4 – Water streets. I couldn’t imagine how it is to live on the water. Now I know a little and know that it is possible. Wake up in the morning, get to your… boat, gondola, yacht,… just different type of transport – more suitable for transportation on water. That’s it.

Photo 5 – Friendly combination. Art is everywhere In Venice and tranquility is main state of soul you have to generate to observe it. So it might take more than one or two days.

For me it is great challenge to participate this competition and possibility to switch to “wide angel” – get more experience and learn.
