New on my 500px: Watching Traffic

The thing about Venice is that I never got tired of photographing it. Every corner of the city looked so unique to Venice. So, here's another waterway shot with gondolas, but I thought it was neat to capture the two tourists tentatively looking on. Notice their grips on those posts. With a sidewalk that tiny, who can blame them?

New on my 500px: Retired for the Evening

For some reason, I like taking photos without people in them. I find the things left behind by people to be more interesting without them. This photo was taken in Venice, Italy, in June of 2013.

New on my 500px: Venice Darkly

This is my attempt to shoot Venice at night. I was hoping for a semi-ghostly look. I think it works, somewhat, at least... this was shot last June (2013).

Pugs not Drugs

I shot this in Piazza San Marco in June 2013. I usually try to avoiding shooting people, but there were so many around and that one guy's shirt cracks me up. Oh yeah and don't miss noting the bird. :) Also, of note is that the sun was setting behind the walls of the piazza so this is just a few minutes before twilight kicked in.
